Chapter 122: A Power That Doesn't Belong to Yourself
Cheng Liu sat in the barrel, the cold river water could not calm him down, and the violence in his heart was like a resentment accumulated for thousands of years, wanting to bite, vent, and go crazy.
He could only grasp his hair hard, slam his head against the edge of the barrel, and let out a low roar in his throat.
The Yizhuang personnel didn't know what happened to Cheng Liu, they only dared to stay outside, listening to the sound inside, and they were terrified.
Eventually, the room fell silent.
Cheng Liu was like a puddle of mud sinking in the cold water of a wooden barrel, his hands clutching the edge of the barrel, pulling himself out of the water little by little.
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door.
"Childe, are you okay?"
The voice of the Yizhuang spy sounded outside the door.
Cheng Liu just came out of the water, clutched his chest and replied: "Guarding outside, you shouldn't ask about other things!" ”
The man outside the door suddenly shuddered, the legendary county keeper is not like this! Could it be that after being promoted to the state pastor, it swelled?
Bang!
This loud noise didn't happen outside, it came from inside.
The young spy subconsciously stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but the movement paused halfway, maintained the original position, took a deep breath, and still retracted it.
Just as he was about to turn away, the door creaked open.
Cheng Liu had already changed his clothes, except for his pale face, he had not changed from what he had seen before.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
The spies immediately turned back to gather the people, and everyone quickly got on their horses.
At this time, a group of light horses in the distance came towards this side, and the people who had just mounted the horses suddenly turned over and dismounted again, picking up the weapons in their hands to guard against the light horses in front of them.
Dian Wei rode to a distance and stopped, and after confirming that it was Cheng Liu, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran towards him.
"My lord! Are you alright? ”
Cheng Liu waved his hand, but at this time, he only felt that his body was hollowed out, and he was weak and didn't want to speak.
Dian Wei also seemed to notice it, and hurriedly helped him onto the horse.
Turning to look at the spies in Yizhuang, he shouted, "What the hell is going on?" Our head of the house...... Why did Childe become like this? ”
The rest of the spies vaguely guessed the identity of this person, and Yizhuang still kept the information of the people around Cheng Liu, and after hearing the question, everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.
Cheng Liu had just arrived at Yizhuang during the day and fell off his horse.
After everyone helped him up, he only shouted for cold water, and then sat directly in the bucket, and the spies did not dare to ask more, and were quickly driven out of the room.
In the few hours he came, apart from staying in the room all the time, some of them hadn't even seen each other, so they didn't know what the reason was.
At this time, seeing Dian Wei asking angrily, everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to speak out.
"It's none of their business, is there a carriage? Send me back. ”
Yizhuang had a carriage ready, and after hearing what Cheng Liu said, he hurriedly pulled it out.
After Cheng Liu sat down, the convoy moved forward slowly.
Cheng Liu unbuttoned his clothes, and the Ouroboros finally dimmed a little, but his right hand was swollen.
Just now I smashed my fist on the floor in order to force myself to calm down, and now I feel that my entire right palm is almost numb.
Originally, he was supposed to return to Xiapi about three hours ago, but because of the sudden attack of the Ouroboros, the matter was delayed.
Although he has calmed down now, the strength in his body seems to have been drained suddenly, and he has no energy at all.
This seems to be a side effect of Ouroboros, giving him great strength, but it is also possible that at some critical time, all of his power will be withdrawn.
It seemed like a spell, it had happened twice before, and this time it was even more painful than before.
What exactly is the reason for this? Cheng Liu didn't know, and he didn't know how to change it.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that he can still maintain a trace of sanity when the violent aura spreads all over his body.
But what if, one day, this reason is lost? What will become of him?
Cheng Liu couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
The carriage jolted, and his mind gradually calmed down, and a deep sleepiness followed, and he fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped, a noisy sound sounded, Cheng Liu opened his eyes tiredly, and saw the sweet potato and the fish young at a glance who opened the curtain.
"Childe, are you alright?"
Cheng Liu just smiled and fell asleep again.
He seems to have had a long, long dream, in which he fought bravely on the battlefield with a spear in his hand, and the gongs and drums shook the sky, and the spear came out like a dragon.
But in the next second, he saw an arrow shot in his chest, and the blood gradually spread from his heart, and he didn't feel the slightest pain, but the scene in front of him began to rotate and blur.
Subconsciously, he tried to open his eyes, and a towel was wiped on his forehead, just covering his vision.
Exhaling a slight breath of turbidity, he moved his fingers, only to find that it seemed to be bandaged and unable to move.
The towel that was wiping was suddenly removed, and then I heard the man suddenly shouting out the door, "Childe is awake!" ”
It was Jiang Xue's voice, and not long after the voice fell, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, and in less than a moment, the room was full of people.
Cheng Liu squinted his eyes and looked at the general situation, they were all familiar people, trying to sit up, but his body was uncontrollable.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? ”
Sweet potato stepped forward, touched Cheng Liu's forehead, and said softly: "Childe, you have a fever, and when Dian Wei sent you back, you were already asleep." ”
"I ...... How long did you sleep? ”
Sweet potato glanced left and right, and whispered again: "Two days and one night." ”
Yu Youkui had already instructed his subordinates to prepare a bowl of porridge and put it next to the bed, but Cheng Liu had no appetite at all, so he let the rest of the people out first, leaving only sweet potatoes and Yu Youkui.
"Did anything happen to me during the two days I was asleep?"
Sweet potato first went out to get a stack of official documents, then moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, and began to talk with Yu Youkui.
"Childe's current identity is already a state pastor, and the military power of the entire Yangzhou is controlled by you alone, and many heroes have recently taken the initiative to hand over soldiers and horses, as a condition of exchange, Childe needs to give them the corresponding official position. The slave and maid have already passed the order, and the petty officials can discuss, but the big officials such as the assassin don't even think about it. ”
The secret report from the palace pointed out that after He Jin had gathered the military power, he sent the left chariot general Huangfu Song to Xiliang, and Dong Zhuo was the deputy lieutenant general who accompanied him. These are not the decrees of the Queen Mother, they are advocated by He Jin alone. ”
