Chapter 179: Memories of Causes
Everyone looked at the girl who was supported by the maid and looked like she would fall down when the wind blew, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
"Juan'er!" When Lu Bei saw his daughter, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
He can't go to jail, he can't die, and if he's gone, what will happen to his poor daughter?
Definitely not!
Lu Lijuan came to Lu Bei's side and said, "Dad, just say it, tell me what you did, and my daughter also believes that you won't do that kind of thing."
Ahem...... Father! β
When Lu Bei heard Lu Lijuan coughing, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "Juan'er, it's my father who is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your deceased mother!" β
"Dad, it's okay, my daughter believes in Dad, just say ......" Lu Lijuan said, tears falling from her eyes.
"Juan'er......" Lu Bei looked at his daughter, then raised his head, looked at Han Qing and Mo Shanghuangjue, and said,
"Your Excellency Investigator, it all dates back to two months ago."
A month ago, outside the bordering city
"My lord, it's here." A guard outside the carriage said respectfully to the people in the carriage.
"Hmm!" Lu Bei opened the curtain of the car, looked at the sky outside that was about to be twilight, and said lightly.
This time, he actively accepted the orders from his superiors and personally went out to visit several other city lords, but he didn't expect to find nothing.
He didn't know how long his daughter would last, and he really didn't want to see his daughter get crushed by the ice and weaken.
No, he's going to have to find a way.
Just as Lu Bei was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that a light fell in the remote eastern jungle.
"What is that?" Lu Bei stopped the carriage, "Could it be that some treasure has descended?" β
When the guard saw Lu Bei get out of the car, he asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" "They obviously didn't see the light just now.
Lu Bei looked at the group of people following behind the carriage, and then said, "You wait here for the time being, and the official will leave for a while." β
"My lord, now that the sky is dark, this is the outskirts of the bordering city, and there are many ferocious demonic beasts at night, you go alone, how can your subordinates rest assured?"
"The official is just going to take a look, and he will come back in a while, will the official not know about this matter on the outskirts of the bordering city?" Lu Bei said with some majesty.
It was only the outer edge of the dense forest, and there was no danger, and I felt like I would miss something if I didn't look at the thing that had just landed.
Lu Bei didn't think much about it, and used his spiritual power to move quickly.
When he reached the outskirts of the forest, he began to search for the location where the light had just fallen.
"What is this?" Lu Bei was in a pit and found that there was a strange box engraved with various words that was glowing, and in the center of the strange box, there was a circular sign, and in the middle of the circular sign was engraved a "spirit" that emitted golden light, surrounded by various attributes of the spiritualist, which made people look like they had an unattainable sense of sacredness......
When Lu Bei was about to crouch down and pick up the box, the roar of the spirit beast in the distance gradually approached.
They're probably here for this thing, too.
Lu Bei didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, immediately picked up the box and opened the space ring.
"Poof......" A mouthful of blood spat out, and the bloodstained box fell to the ground.
Lu Bei really didn't expect this to happen, his spatial ring couldn't withstand the entry of this box.
At the same time as the space ring was damaged, he was almost eaten by this box.
"Whew~"
"Roar~"
"Hiss~"
β¦β¦
At this moment, the voices of various spirit beasts approached, and after a while, they surrounded Lu Bei.
When Lu Bei looked up and saw this scene, he was desperate in his heart.
Why did these inner spirit beasts come to this periphery, is it because of this box?
"Human, bring the box to me, and I'll let you die a happy death." The Spirit Demon Beast Xuan Ice Snake spoke.
"Human, take it here, I can spare your life." The spirit demon beast Black Desert Wolf also spoke.
When the Xuan Ice Snake heard the Black Desert Wolf say this, he was slightly angry and said, "Black Desert Wolf, he was the first to be found. β
"Hmph, do you think I'll give it to you?" The black desert wolf spoke.
The two highest-ranking spirit demon beasts were arguing, and the other spirit demon beasts surrounded them, and they didn't dare to approach.
And when Lu Bei heard the spirit demon beast speak, his heart was already desperate, there was even a spirit demon beast at the spirit level level, and he was afraid that he would have no chance to die.
"Juan'er~"
"Do you want to save your daughter?" Just then, a gentle voice came.
Lu Bei was startled and found that the sound was coming from the box.
Hearing this, all the spirit beasts looked at the box.
The box actually speaks, andβ
When Lu Bei saw the box again, he was startled, the box was no longer shining, and the round sign had been covered by black gas for some time.
At this moment, a light dispersed, and a man in white with a stunning appearance appeared, looked around, and then looked at Lu Bei, as if waiting for his answer.
"I think, very much, you...... What's the solution? Lu Bei looked at the momentum on his body, and said with fear and anticipation in his heart.
"Are you ignoring me?" The Ice Snake and the Black Desert Wolf were obviously angry, and they spoke at the same time.
Seeing this, the man in white looked at the two beasts and said lightly, "beast".
Before the two spirit demon beasts could react, a black shadow flashed.
"Black Rock, they've got you!"
"Yes, master!" A figure flashed beside the man in white.
Lu Bei was taken aback when he saw Hei Yan's face, could this be an orc?
And the surrounding spirit beasts saw the black rock come out, their eyes widened in fear, it ......
"Let's go!" The man in white suddenly said to Lu Bei that he left the dense forest without waiting for Lu Bei to react.
In the next scene, Lu Bei didn't see it, only heard a loud roar, followed by the screams of spirit beasts, and the chaotic noise of the dense forest.
After a while, the black rock returned to the man in white.
"You...... Who are you? You just said ...... Is it true? β
Lu Bei looked at the man in white and said with a slight trembling.
It can be seen from the fact that he has this orc, his spiritual power is very powerful, and his identity is by no means simple.
While they are afraid, they also have more expectations that they may really be able to save their daughter.
But how did he know about his business?
"You don't have to know who this king is, you just need to know, this king can save his daughter." The man in white said indifferently, "Of course, this is conditional. β
Lu Bei couldn't help but be startled when he heard this person claiming to be the king, could this person be a certain king?
At a young age, he has such strength and signed a contract with such a powerful orc.
Or can he really save his daughter, but what would someone like him need to do on his own?
"This king only needs you to build a passage between the city lord's mansion and the Wu mansion, and the rest of the things this king has his own plans." The man in white looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
It may be a good place to regain spiritual power, heh!
Next, just wait for her to come!
When Lu Bei heard such a simple condition, he immediately agreed, and was full of gratitude to the man in white.
In the following days, the man in white really kept his agreement and would come to see his daughter once every half month.
I don't know what he did, but his daughter's complexion is getting better and better day by day.
However, during this period, girls and children kept disappearing, and Lu Bei gradually realized that something was wrong.
One night, when he finally couldn't resist his curiosity, he entered the firewood room, and the scene inside made his legs go limp, and his whole body trembled.
Because he saw that the orc from before was catching a small child, absorbing his aura and essence......
When he learned about this, he became more and more frightened, so he told Wu Tiansheng about it.
But when he and Wu Tiansheng came to this firewood room again, they didn't find anything.
Wu Tiansheng said that this might be his hallucination, and left. But Lu Bei knew that this was not an illusion, it really existed.
The incidents of random disappearances became more and more frequent, and the more Lu Bei couldn't sit still in his heart, and the more he was afraid that others would find out about it, and every time he could only find his only deep friend Wu Tiansheng to tell him. (He didn't say it, he thought it would be a disservice to his friend.) οΌ
Back to reality
After Lu Bei finished narrating, he said again: "Your Excellency Investigator, that's what the lower officials have done. β
"Since we found out, why didn't we report it when we still had the Dust King coming?" Jiuwei saw that the two statues had no intention of speaking, so they opened their mouths and said, and the relatives who lost their daughters and children outside were filled with righteous indignation!
"As soon as Xia Guan thought of his methods, as well as his own daughter, he ......"
"Are you willing to let other people's daughters and children disappear?" This time, it was Hanqing who spoke.
"The lower official deserves death, I'm sorry for the fathers and villagers in the city, but the little girl is innocent, she doesn't know anything, please let her go." Lu Bei was on his knees this time.
When Lu Lijuan heard this, she couldn't help crying and said, "No, Dad, my daughter is also at fault, if it weren't for my daughter, you wouldn't have done this kind of thing." β
"No, it's Dad who didn't take good care of you, and Dad doesn't have the face to see your mother!" Lu Bei looked at the sky, hoarse, and said in great pain.
"Lu Bei, stand up, what are your crimes, the court has its own decision, now, you take us and all the adults to the passage of the firewood room, and you can't let the girl be killed anymore." Hanqing said.
Hearing this, Lu Bei stood up and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Investigator, your subordinates will definitely make up for their mistakes." (Knowing the mistake, change the name!) οΌ
Ladies and gentlemen? Could it be that Lord Wu is not the only one here? Everyone thought.
Just when everyone was confused, a gentle voice came,
"Clear ...... The inquisitor is really powerful, and he found out that this king is here so quickly. β
Mo Chenxi, who was dressed in white, appeared, his handsome appearance and handsome steps made people feel that a gentle burst of sunshine had arrived, and it also gave life to the entire quiet City Lord's Mansion.
This guy ......
Emperor Mo heard his deliberate pause, and a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.
