Chapter 184: The Story of the Past
In the quiet secret room, the sudden sound of footsteps alarmed Emperor Huailiang, who was pondering inside. 35xs "Who?" He stood up in surprise and looked warily in the direction of the sound of footsteps.
Fake Yuexiao appeared slowly, and when she saw Emperor Huailiang, she glanced around the entire secret room again, revealing a clear look. "Old thing, you lost the Soul Eater?"
As soon as he heard the Soul Devouring Cup, Emperor Huailiang was surprised, but his face was not obvious, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Who are you, dare to trespass into the imperial study!" ”
"Who am I?" Fake Yuexiao suddenly sneered, "Hehe, I'm naturally a good person, a good person who came to help you finish." As soon as the last word fell, his voice completely changed tone, eerie and sharp.
"Chen'er?" Emperor Huailiang was even more surprised when he saw Liangchen following him, "Who is he?" Why bring him in! ”
However, Liang Chen's face was expressionless and he didn't respond, just stood motionless behind Fake Yuexiao.
"Don't panic." Fake Yuexiao laughed, and suddenly her figure flashed, and before Emperor Huailiang could react, her hands firmly pinched his neck, "You just need to tell me where the Soul Eater is and I'll let you go." ”
His life was controlled by others, but Emperor Huailiang did not panic, there was no fear in his eyes, but his face was calm. "There's no Soul Eater here, you're late."
"Don't play tricks on me, you say there is no more? The Soul Eater has been hidden with you for more than ten years, and if you say no, I will believe it? Fake Yuexiao's subordinates worked hard, and her expression was quite hideous. He felt the breath of the Protoss, and if he didn't fight quickly, he was afraid that it would be very troublesome to get out for a while.
"Say! Where the hell is the Soul Eater! Fake Yuexiao almost roared, seeing Emperor Huailiang's light and unafraid appearance, she couldn't help but be angry, and the green tendons on the hand holding his neck burst out, you can imagine how much strength it used.
"I said ... Here, no... Emperor Huailiang gasped and said, "Even if you kill me... Nor will we-"
"Fu Qingxue!"
Just when Emperor Huailiang's life was hanging by a thread, Yan Ruo finally couldn't help jumping out, "Let him go, what do you want, let's talk slowly." Flash"
Damn, how did it come so quickly!
Fu Qingxue cursed in a low voice in her heart, and changed back to her original appearance. His subordinates relaxed slightly, giving Emperor Huailiang a chance to breathe, and then asked sarcastically, "Talk slowly?" I don't know what God wants to talk to me? ”
"Let's talk about the Soul Eater Cup, you let him go, and I'll tell you where the Soul Eater is located."
Looking at her sworn appearance, Fu Qingxue became more vigilant: "Did you steal the Soul Eater Cup?" ”
"The Soul Eater is only temporarily stored with me, how can it be called stealing?" Yan Ruo raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "I know you really want to get the Soul Eater Cup, but you don't need to embarrass a mortal, after all, he doesn't know anything. ”
Fu Qingxue hesitated. It's about the Soul Eater, she can't be gullible, but she doesn't dare to disbelieve it. "Hehe, if the gods are scheming, the most insidious and cunning, who knows if what you said is true, unless you take out the Soul Eater Cup!"
Yan Ruo said: "You also said, I am scheming, insidious and cunning, how could I carry such an important thing as the Soul Eater with me? Naturally, I brought it back to Xingchen Pavilion for safekeeping, if you want to see it now, I can't help it, I can't go back and get it, come and go, if I don't wait for me to come back, it is estimated that people will be strangled to death by you. ”
"Then what do you want! Let me let go? Don't. "Fu Qingxue is not sure that she can get out smoothly, and if she has a hostage in her hand, she has a hole card, so naturally she will not let people go easily.
"Let him go or not, as long as you don't hurt him, you still have a chance to get the Soul Eater." If it is very easy, you don't have to guess to know that Fu Qingxue doesn't dare to take risks, and she is reluctant to have the opportunity to get the Soul Devouring Cup this time. So it's okay to take it slowly, and there's no rush.
At this time, Liangchen, who had been standing behind Fu Qingxue, moved slowly, Fu Qingxue noticed the movement behind her, worried that Liangchen, who was under her control, had changed, and as soon as she turned her head, Liangchen's dagger was already across her shoulder.
"How can you get out of my control!" Fu Qingxue was very confident in her control technique, but she never expected that Liangchen would be able to untie it by herself and get out of her control.
Liang Chen's face was expressionless: "Let my father go." ”
Fu Qingxue held Emperor Huailiang hostage, and Liangchen held Fu Qingxue hostage, this scene was very peculiar.
As for Yan Ruo and Ruobai, they are completely watching the battle from the sidelines, Fu Qingxue can't run left and right, it's useless for her to be anxious, not to mention that she is not in a hurry at all
"Don't think!" If Emperor Huailiang is released, then it is even more impossible for her to get out and leave smoothly, when she is stupid? "You think an ordinary dagger can hurt me? Naive. ”
Fu Qingxue is a little fearless, she is the most proud subordinate of the demon lord, just a human being, it is a joke to be able to hurt her.
Liang Chen said: "You might as well try." As he spoke, the dagger approached her throat, and his hand pressed slightly, and the sharp dagger had cut through the flesh of her neck, oozing blood.
Fu Qingxue immediately felt a tingling pain, and the burning sensation of her skin and flesh shocked her, how could this be? This dagger doesn't seem to be a mortal thing?
Yan Ruo coughed lightly and deliberately explained to her: "I forgot to tell you that this dagger was given to him by me, and it is very lethal to defend himself and deal with demons and monsters." ”
"Insidious!" Fu Qingxue felt a hint of threat at this time, and was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only hold Emperor Huailiang hostage, so as to threaten Liangchen not to be impulsive.
Emperor Huailiang, who had always been calm, spoke: "I said it a long time ago, there is no Soul Eater here, you have all come to the wrong place. ”
"Shut up! You need to say it! "Fu Qingxue almost wanted to strangle him, the monarch of a dignified country couldn't even hold a soul devouring cup, and caused her to run away in vain, what a waste!
Liangchen repeated: "You let him go, and I will take you hostage." ”
"Don't think about playing tricks! I won't believe you! Are you a hostage? You have a demon slayer knife in your hand that can seriously injure me, how can you be my hostage? When I'm a fool! Fu Qingxue was furious.
Liang Chen didn't say a word, he directly threw away the demon slaying knife in his hand, his hands were empty, and said, "Now you can rest assured, I will exchange with him." ”
Yan Ruo slightly restrained her playful look, and paid attention to Fu Qingxue's movements, in case she was not good for Liangchen.
Just when Fu Qingxue was about to open her mouth to refuse, a thick black smoke suddenly filled the entire secret room, but in just a few seconds, the smoke automatically dissipated, and it disappeared with the smoke, as well as Fu Qingxue.
Liang Chen hurriedly went over to support Emperor Huailiang, worried about where he was injured by Fu Qingxue. "Please forgive my father, my son accidentally fell into the demon girl's witchcraft for a while, was controlled, and brought her to the imperial study, made a big mistake, please punish my father!" Liangchen knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.
"Hurry up." Emperor Huailiang's face was full of relief, and he didn't blame him. "It's going to happen, just a little sooner than I expected. If you can do it in the face of danger, it's already good, and you deserve to be my son. ”
There's a mystery in that. Yan Ruo narrowed his eyes and looked at Emperor Huailiang as if he were inquiring.
"Alright, I know you have a lot of questions, let's go out first." Emperor Huailiang has lost the majesty of the emperor, he seems to be very approachable, and he doesn't seem surprised by what just happened, and he is not surprised by the true identities of Yan Ruo and Ruobai, in short, looking at his expression, it seems that all this is normal.
The secret room was closed, and the four of them sat in the imperial study, talking a little bit.
Emperor Huailiang said: "Maybe it's because of the artifact, every night in my sleep, I can always see many strange scenes, including you and me, but they have all changed their identities." I dreamed about what happened today, but I thought it was just a strange dream and didn't pay much attention to it. As for the artifact Soul Eater, the reason why it was able to be found by me and hidden here for more than ten years was because of one person. He is Master Jingyun. ”
As soon as Jingyun was mentioned, Yan Ruo felt that this name was very familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he had heard it. So she looked at Ruobai very suspiciously, but found that Ruobai looked a little trance-like, as if she was wandering outside the world.
"If white, if white?" Yan Ruo waved his hand in front of his eyes and shouted, "Ruobai? What are you thinking? ”
Ruobai came back to his senses and looked indifferent: "It's nothing, some of the past." ”
Seeing him like this, Bacheng remembered the memories of the previous tribulations, but he didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask, just "oh" and looked at Emperor Huailiang again. "You mean, Jingyun? Who is he? ”
At this time, Emperor Huailiang was a little surprised: "Don't you remember him?" ”
Yan Ruo felt confused, and asked, "Should I know him?" ”
Emperor Huailiang thought for a moment, and then explained: "He was Ruobai's master, and he lived on Tianxue Mountain, and there was a holy place on Tianxue Mountain in the past, called Forget Worry Pavilion, Ruobai is the master of Forget Worry Pavilion, and Jing Yun is the elder of Forget Worry Pavilion, and he is also Ruobai's master. ”
"Once upon a time?" Yan Ruo understood, thinking that this was what he was talking about during the Ruobai Tribulation, so he asked, "What about now?" Where is Jingyun now? ”
Emperor Huailiang shook his head slightly: "The Forgetting Worry Pavilion has been disbanded, and Tianxue Mountain is now just an ordinary mountain, after Jingyun and Ruobai severed the master-apprentice relationship, they also left Tianxue Mountain, perhaps to find a quiet place and live in seclusion." Anyway, I haven't heard from him again. ”
"And what's his connection to the Soul Eater? Could it be that you were able to get the Soul Eater thanks to his help? But now the Soul Eater is gone. "That's right.
"Yes, this matter, I have to start from the beginning, it was a story from a long time ago, so long that I almost forgot it."
