Chapter 31: Hidden Text: The Jedi Strikes Back
The old market entrance of the old city of the west city of Karju City
Xiaoyao walked to the end of the old market, and finally stopped.
For more than ten years, as a forbidden place known to everyone in Kashu City, no one has ever set foot here. After all, it was in this place that the bodies of the remnants of the former Chu Wen were massively beheaded into a hill with a foul smell, and then a fire was burned to ashes.
Compared to Lianyue Mountain, which was forbidden to enter by the order of the Marquis of Lihou for some reason, this old market entrance with countless unjust souls and located in the corner of the west city of the city is undoubtedly more feared by the people of Kazhou.
"You're late."
It was as if the heart was suddenly clenched tightly, and Xiaoyao's scalp was numb. turned around in a hurry, but saw that it was a graceful young woman, with charming eyes and a purple veil, standing behind him at some point.
"Quiet girl..."Xiao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then laughed in a trembling voice, "You really... It really scared me, even if I wanted a hidden place, why did I choose to meet here......"
"—Say it." The ghost mirror didn't answer, and there was no expression on a pale face. "Why did you miss it?"
Xiao Yao's gaze froze slightly, and he was silent for a long time, looking at the gloomy and dilapidated houses that had been uninhabited for a long time, Fang said with a bitter face: "Girl, it's not that the Lian clan is ineffective, it's really that Lian's body is agile, and the girl next to her is too much of a hindrance——"
"-I can't even move the two little girls, so why did I volunteer in the first place." The ghost mirror was idle, and it didn't seem to hear Xiaoyao's confession. "It's hard for me to help you infiltrate the inner garden in the first place... Xiaoyao, such a result, the master will be very disappointed when he hears it. ”
"Ghost Mirror! Please listen to my explanation, the little one has really lured the two of her into a trap that day, and she will definitely succeed! Xiao Yao looked panicked, and hurriedly argued, "But the little one found that as long as the arrow released hits the door, it will be blocked by a sword qi flying from nowhere, really!" That sword aura was violently formed, golden and dazzling, and it was really unheard of! It can be seen that in addition to their master and servant in the forest that day, there must be a hard hand hidden in the secret! ”
The ghost mirror was shocked, but his face still did not show a look.
Forming the golden sword qi that flies out... This is not a lie that Xiao Haruka can make up, he may not have heard of it, but he has heard it early in the morning.
It's just that she couldn't imagine that there are already people in the world today whose internal strength is so deep that they are enough to control that ancient sword?
In addition to surprise, there is more confusion and jealousy. Even if the Lian clan is difficult, I believe that he and his sister's skills are enough to deal with it, but if the tail sect is involved, things will definitely become a lot trickier.
Maybe it will alarm her again......
No, I must not let my sister interfere again. The master has doubts about his ability, and his sister has not yet set up a business, if Lian's affairs are not done well, I am afraid that in front of the master, there will be no place for her two sisters to stand.
"I don't listen to excuses," Phantom Mirror raised his head again, and said coldly to the man in front of him, "The opportunity has been given to you, but you are not able to do it yourself, and now you can't please your master, not only will you lose your official position in the Lihou Mansion, but I'm afraid that even your brother's life will not be saved......"
"Girl! Quiet girl, spare your life! When Xiao Yao heard about his younger brother, he knelt down as if he had been drained of his soul. Yuan'er had no idea about the matter, and he was never involved from beginning to end. It's all small carelessness and underestimating the enemy, so I couldn't kill the Lian family for the master, and I asked the girl to have mercy and give the little one another chance, the little one... The little one must personally present the head of the Lian family to the master! Please also ask the girl to be generous, Xiaoyao is willing to atone for her crimes, please don't touch my brother! ”
Youjing watched coldly as Xiao Yao knelt at her feet and pleaded continuously, and her heart became more and more sure - no one knows the weight of brotherhood in a person's heart better than her. With this as a threat, Xiaoyao is naturally obedient and obedient. With him risking his life like this, he has more certainty in dividing things.
"That's it, it's not my intention to kill them all. You have always been able to speak in front of Lihou before, but this time you killed General Wen halfway, and you were defeated. The ghost mirror eyes flowed, looking at Xiaoyao's eyes that had regained hope, and said quietly, "The master has always been lenient, and if you want to atone for your crimes, it is not without a chance." It's just that you also have to understand that the last time you failed in the assassination, it was the flower that helped you escape. Now that the Hou Mansion is under martial law on all fronts, it is not easy to sneak in. You have the heart to serve the master again, we think we are perfect, but the opportunity is rare, Xiaoyao, this time, should you cherish it and leave no regrets? ”
I was bored and entangled in my heart, as if more than ten years of wind, frost, rain and snow could not be washed away, and the rancid smell of the old market was permeated.
Xiao Yao lay on the ground, looking tremblingly at his hands on the stone floor with white joints and blue muscles. He didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing the delicate and charming face like a fox in the purple hood.
He knew what they wanted from him, and that was his luxury, a distant goal that he couldn't even reach in his life.
He had also been instigated by desire, anxious to reach the height that he could not control, but after struggling and falling, he fell so completely and lost so miserably.
He thought that they understood and had the intention to help him climb to the peak of power and wealth.
However, now, he can also see that they just want to get everything they want by using their status as a Lifu general.
It's just that he was blinded by power at the beginning, and he was bent on bypassing Wen Zhao, gaining the trust of Lihou, and getting the position of the general of the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't realize that although the method they taught him to climb Lihou could be achieved quickly, they also buried endless dangers and hidden dangers for his future.
He knew that now that his value was exhausted, they might simply kill themselves. It's just that the reason why they can't leave is because their brother is still in their hands, and their mysterious master is so calculating, expecting that he will think things clearly one day, and has the idea of retreating and fleeing, so he took his younger brother, his only brother, hostage early in the morning.
Since childhood, he has been dependent on each other for his life, and he is his only concern, so he naturally cannot abandon him. And in order to save his life, he can only let them squander his life and squeeze out the little value he has left.
"The little one understands." After a long time, Xiaoyao finally looked up again, his eyes were dilated, as if he had forgotten all his worries. "This time, I will definitely give the heads of Lian Guiying and Wen Zhao with my own hands."
He looked up, but saw that the ghost mirror finally bloomed into an extremely bright and beautiful smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with his answer. Then he flicked his clothes, turned and walked towards the vast mist.
The sun rises and shines, but it seems that it can't illuminate the turbid fog that envelops the dead city at the entrance of the old city. There seemed to be birds chirping softly in the distance, but it was so mocking and noisy in the ears.
Yes, it's almost winter, and it's getting cold day by day, and those birds who can't flee to the south can only wait for the embrace of death to quietly unfold in the cold night.
And he may be the most insightful of them, but he is painful and desperate.
