Chapter 427: The White Wolf is Suspicious
Even if there is no one to guard, they dare not take it lightly. Several people discussed, leaving two clever ones to guard the perimeter, and the others followed the captain to explore inside.
Xiao Chuhan listened very carefully this time. He has always felt that Da Niu has a secret, and there is still a trace of rejection of the Xiliang royal family, and now that the mystery is about to be revealed, he is very curious.
Da Niu is not good at words, and his words are dry, but everyone's eyes gradually widen with his narration.
In the forbidden land of the God King City, Xiao Chuhan also sent someone to investigate privately, but he didn't find anything abnormal, as if it was really just a legend. But is that really the case?
"A few of us were very cautious at first, but as we went deeper, we didn't find anything abnormal, and we gradually relaxed a little. Later, I went all the way to the deepest part of the forbidden land, but I saw a lonely stone temple there, where the statue of the goddess was enshrined, and the goddess was followed by the white wolf that Xueyin said. ”
The point came, and several people were even more atmospheric and didn't dare to come out, looking at the big bull nervously.
"We have never seen such a statue of a goddess, someone was curious for a moment, walked over and touched the white wolf a few times, who knows, the statue suddenly moved, revealing a secret door......"
Da Niu's thoughts suddenly returned to the night that he will never forget.
That night, he lost his comrades-in-arms, lost his future, and almost lost his life, but how did the Xiliang royal family treat him?
"Captain, there's something down there!" A man whispered, and the captain ordered everyone to cheer up and go in to check. They were all a little excited, feeling that the secret they had been investigating for a long time was about to be revealed, and they were both nervous and excited.
A dark passage was deep and long, and they cautiously groped their way forward, and after walking for a long time, they found nothing but the dark stone wall.
The dark passage has been extending downward, and Da Niu secretly estimated that they should have entered the hinterland of Shenwang Mountain at this time.
Someone couldn't bear to light the fire, and everyone looked around by the firelight, but found that the stone wall of this dark passage was abrupt, as if it was not dug by man.
After walking for nearly an hour, there was no sound or light in the dark passage, which made them think that this was really just a natural formation, and they couldn't help but gradually relax their vigilance. After walking for a long time, there is still no end to this dark passage.
The people who had been nervous for most of the night slowly lost their spirits, thinking that this operation was going to be fruitless again, and some people had already begun to discuss where to go to relax and rest after going back.
Da Niu didn't speak, but his heart flew back to the small mountain village that haunted him. My brother had just been born when he left home, and I don't know what he had grown up to become. Daddy is old too, right? They are in the countryside with their younger brother, and they don't know if they can eat enough?
Da Niu was homesick, thinking that after this mission, he would take a leave and go back to have a look.
"Silence!" The captain suddenly issued a warning, and everyone suddenly stopped.
At last he came to the end of the dark passage, and an empty cave appeared in front of him, and there was nothing in the cave, and only one person sat in the middle, a living person.
Although they were not physically present, Yun Yao and the others couldn't help but get nervous. Xueyin couldn't care about her emotions anymore, and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" ”
"I've never seen it." Da Niu shook his head and continued to tell about the adventures of the year.
The man was dressed in a white robe, and his robe was covered with ash, as if he had not moved for a long time. When he saw us coming, he suddenly opened his eyes. ”
What a terrible pair of eyes that were! Even after many years, Da Niu still has lingering palpitations.
The man stared at them indifferently, a cruel smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and rough.
"Who? What a bold man, he dares to disturb this king's cultivation! ”
There are many people on their side, and there is only one person on the other side, so they don't seem too scared. The captain stepped forward and arched his hand, "I'm really sorry to disturb my seniors." What kind of place is this? Our brother strayed into this place and couldn't find a way out for a while, so he asked his seniors for guidance. ”
The captain spoke quietly, and they were silent and cooperative, but the person's appearance was not very friendly, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and if something was wrong, they would pull out their weapons and do it.
The man let out a low sneer in his throat and muttered, "Mistakenly? Well, that's good! Now that you're here, let's all stay! ”
Years of iron-blooded career made them instinctively feel dangerous, and before the captain could speak, all the team members drew their swords together. Before they could make any moves, they saw that the sleeves of the man's robe waved, and everyone, including Da Niu, flew out upside down.
Da Niu felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a boulder, and his ribs were broken several times in an instant. Blood erupted from his mouth, and he lost consciousness.
Although Da Niu is still sitting here well, it is obvious that he has escaped later, but the few people who listened to it still couldn't help but worry for a while.
"And then? What happened? How did you escape? Xueyin couldn't hold her breath the most.
Da Niu glanced at Xiao Chuhan coldly, and said for a long time: "I don't know how long I have been in a coma, and when I woke up, I found that I had gone out of the secret passage." I was surrounded by corpses, all brothers who had acted with me. ”
"No one took care of us, and no one buried their bodies, just left them in the field, exposed to the sun and rain." Da Niu's voice was sad, and his eyes were a little red.
How many times he dreamed back at midnight, he would always recall that scene at that time.
Fortunately, his body has always been strong, but fortunately, the broken ribs did not pierce his viscera, and he picked up a life. However, all the brothers died, and even the two men who were guarding the outside did not escape.
Although Da Niu was in severe pain, he knew that he couldn't stay here. They had already been discovered, and although he didn't know why no one had come to dispose of the body, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
Thinking of his father and brother in the distance, Da Niu had two more strengths in vain. He forced himself to eat two mouthfuls of dry food, drank some more water from the water bladder, and slowly found a direction and crawled away.
Finding a hidden place to hide, he survived with a little food and water. This is the forbidden land of the God King City, and the wild grass on the ground seems to have some divine power, relying on some wild vegetables and fruits, the big cow hid for a month before barely standing up.
He took advantage of the night to walk out of the forbidden ground, and when he searched for the original contact point, he found that it was empty. Fortunately, he still had the certificate to leave the city at that time, and the big bull who had nothing to do left the God King City in the crowd.
It took him nearly a month to arrive after a short two-day journey, and when he entered the Xiliang Royal City, he was already bearded and ragged.
He thought that this information was exchanged for his life with his teammates, and he had to send it back to Xiliang no matter what. By the time he found the camp where he had lived, it had been completely demolished, and there was not even a single guard.
The big bull looked at Xiao Chuhan with sneering eyes, and sneered: "Our brother was born and died, thinking about serving the country, but who knew that after death, not only did he not get any compensation, but he didn't even have a name." ”
Xiao Chuhan frowned slightly and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"The royal family of Xiliang has abandoned us. When the Temple of the Divine King sent someone to ask for the crime, not only did he refuse to admit our identity, but he also said that we were sinners who had escaped from prison and that what we had done had nothing to do with Xiliang. In order to shirk responsibility, they erased all traces of our existence and forged evidence of everyone's crimes. ”
Xiao Chuhan remembered that there was indeed such an incident when his father was in power. A group of vicious death row prisoners escaped from prison and fled to the City of the God King. They destroyed the forbidden land of the Temple of the God King, causing Xiliang to be questioned by the House of Elders.
What did his father do at that time? It seems that he lost a large amount of silver, and he personally went to the God King Hall to apologize, and finally calmed the anger of the Elders' House.
My father seemed to have been worried about this matter for a long time, and then he had no intention of ruling the government and passed the throne to himself.
It turns out that there is such a hidden secret in this matter, no wonder no matter how I investigate, I can't find out the information about Da Niu's enlistment in the army, it turns out that it was deliberately erased.
Xiao Chuhan bit his lip, stood up in the eyes of everyone, shook deeply at Da Niu, and said, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my father." ”
Yun Yao didn't expect him to be willing to apologize to Da Niu like this, and even Da Niu subconsciously dodged away.
Yun Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but chose to remain silent after seeing the expression on Da Niu's face.
This is a matter between men, and it depends on how these two people deal with it.
Da Niu didn't speak, Xiao Chuhan kept hunched and motionless, and for a long time, Da Niu let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, it's not your fault." ”
Xiao Chuhan straightened up and poured a cup of tea for Da Niu with his own hands.
"My father must have been forced to do the same. If you admit your identity at that time, it will definitely bring great disaster to Xiliang. At that time, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang were not strong, and if they rashly became enemies of the God King Palace......"
"I know, you don't have to say any more." The big bull interrupted him.
"When I was young, I only thought that my brother was not worthy, but I didn't think about the position of the old prince. Now that I have brought this news to you, it can be regarded as a sacrifice that the brothers did not sacrifice in vain. ”
"Thank you, Brother Li." Xiao Chuhan solemnly arched his hand and said, "If Brother Li still remembers their identities, I will definitely let people give them double the bereavement." ”
Da Niu smiled bitterly: "We know that what we do is a headless thing, where do we dare to leave our real identity and address." ”
"What then? You can't let those people die in vain, can you? Yun Yao looked at Da Niu's red eyes, and felt very unbearable.
"It's okay, now that you're back, the people of Xiliang will soon be able to live a good life, and it's the same whether they are given or not." Da Niu glanced at Yun Yao, hid the complicated emotions in his heart and continued to speak.
"I suspect that the man in the cave in the Forbidden Land is the White Wolf."
