Why did the enemy kneel first without fighting?

Is it a sign of weakness?

Deliberately following an anti-human routine?

There is no need for Li Yang to think about it by himself, the answer has been revealed in front of his eyes.

After the four black shadows knelt down, they took off the masked scarves as soon as possible, revealing not people from the Western Demon Sect at all, but four familiar faces.

"It turned out to be you." Although months have passed, and although he still doesn't know his name, Li Yang can still recognize it at a glance.

It was the four evil servants under Ye Gucheng's hands.

"Why are you here?" After Li Yang recognized it, he couldn't help asking.

Since he went to Emei, he hadn't seen these four evil servants again, and he thought he had returned to Feixian Island in the South China Sea, but he didn't expect to be in the capital.

"Some time ago, because of martial law in the capital, the city lord was worried that the four of us would be exposed, so he asked us to leave the capital and hide outside the city......"

It turned out that these four evil servants were born with big shoulders and round waists, and their faces were vicious, and when they walked on the road, they would make passers-by think that they were not good people, and they fell into the eyes of those patrol soldiers who were searching for Li Yang all over the city, as well as guarding against a large number of martial arts people who poured into the capital, they were simply the first suspicious objects, plus in the whole plan of usurping the throne, they were just dispensable characters, so in order to avoid exposure, Ye Gucheng made them hide outside the city.

It was only outside the city that these four evil servants happened to encounter, and the imperial court sent a team to arrest the king of Pingnan, and under suspicion, they arrested a person from it, and after some torture, they learned the news of Ye Gucheng's defeat.

After receiving the news, instead of running for their lives, the four evil servants rushed back to the capital.

"You should run for your lives." Li Yang said abruptly.

It is easy to enter the city and difficult to get out of the city, these four evil servants have obviously gone out of the city, and they have not left the safe and vast rivers and lakes, but they have returned to the capital where martial law is in crisis step by step, and now they want to escape from the city again, I am afraid it is impossible.

This loyalty, which puts life and death out of the way, is really admirable.

"From the moment we decided to come back, we didn't expect to run for our lives."

"Our life does not belong to us in the first place, it belongs to Feixian Island in the South China Sea, belongs to Baiyun City, and belongs to our city lord."

"Our four brothers did have a place where they couldn't stand you in the past, but our city lord treated you very well, and I ask you to tell the truth, what happened last night? Is our city lord really ......?"

The word "death" has reached the lips of the four evil servants, but it is difficult to say it.

They couldn't believe that their city lord had just died.

Even Li Yang didn't believe it when he heard that Ye Gucheng was dead, let alone them.

"Get up first." Li Yang stepped forward and bent down and helped the four evil servants up one by one.

A few months ago, he ignored these four evil servants and knelt to death, after all, these four evil servants had attacked him secretly, and it would be good to retaliate after he was fine.

But now, looking at the four people who were loyal to the Lord and did not hesitate to risk their lives, the little connection in Li Yang's heart completely disappeared, and only admiration remained.

didn't hide it at all, at that moment, Li Yang told all the news about Ye Gucheng that he had just obtained from his lover about Ye Gucheng.

After hearing this, the four evil servants collectively fell into a deathly silence.

Li Yang couldn't bear to persuade him: "Actually, I can't believe that Ye Gucheng died like this, just"

"We don't believe it even more." Before Li Yang finished speaking, the four evil servants suddenly shouted in unison, and their emotions suddenly became excited.

"If our city lord is dead, why can't we see the corpse? It is also said that the bones are cut into meat sauce and there are no bones, there should always be bones, right? There's always going to be minced meat, right? There should always be clothes, right? But now? How can people believe that there is nothing? I'm not questioning you, but I'm questioning the news that our city lord is dead, there must be a scam here! ”

"That's right, could it be that the dog emperor still has the leisure to burn and cremate our city lord? Even if it is cremated, there will be ashes, not to mention, according to the character of the dog emperor, even if our city lord only has one hair left, he will take it out and hang it on the city head with Wang An's head to demonstrate, but now, I only see Wang An's head, but I don't see our city lord, there must be a ghost in it. ”

"That's the truth, if there are no ghosts, why do you deliberately block the news of our city lord's death?"

"Our city lord's martial arts are world-famous, and it is impossible to die."

"Our lord ......"

…… The emotions became more and more excited, the voice became louder and louder, the four evil servants did not seem to be refuting Li Yang, but more like convincing themselves, in the end, they couldn't even say any reason, they could only use the nonsense of "how our city lord is" to numb themselves and make themselves believe:

Their lord is not dead!

Li Yang didn't interject the whole time, and watched quietly.

Until the four evil servants could no longer speak, lowered their heads, and fell silent again.

There was only a moment of silence, and then the four evil servants suddenly turned around and walked away with their swords.

"What are you going to do?" Li Yang asked behind the four evil servants.

The four evil servants did not stop, "Go find our city lord." ”

Li Yang sighed, "What if you can't find it?" ”

"Then keep looking, even if it's ...... Even if our city lord is really dead, we will take his body home, even if there is only a little scrap of minced flesh left. ”

"And after that?" Li Yang asked again.

"After that, we will commit suicide and be buried, I am not afraid of your jokes, our city lord has grown up since he was a child, except for sword practice, he will not know anything, if we don't go underground to accompany him, he will suffer ......"

What does it look like for four big men with fierce faces to cry together?

With his back to him, Li Yang didn't see it.

I only saw that tear, in the moonlight, it was exceptionally crystal clear, just like the heart under the fierce appearance of the four evil servants.

"If you find it, let me know." Li Yang said suddenly.

The four evil servants who were about to push the door out suddenly froze, glanced at each other, turned around in unison, and bowed deeply to Li Yang.

Didn't speak.

There is no need to speak either.

The four evil servants resolutely left.

Through the open courtyard gate, looking at their departing backs, fading away in the moonlight, Li Yang actually felt that they had become handsome.

"Ye Gucheng is dead, and it is estimated that they will not live long if they go." After getting dressed, Qing'er walked out of the house and walked to Li Yang's side.

The conversation between Li Yang and the four evil servants just now was naturally watched by her.

Li Yang looked sideways at Qing'er.

Somehow, this beautiful woman fell into his eyes, and he actually felt a little ugly.

Li Yang turned his head, not wanting to look at it.

Asked: "Where are the people of the Western Demon Sect?" It seems that your time is not very accurate. ”

Qing'er looked outside the courtyard and said, "Maybe...... Maybe something is delayed. ”

"Then you can wait for them to come, and then call me." Li Yang raised his leg and was about to leave.

"Don't mind."

Qing'er grabbed Li Yang, "When the people from the Western Demon Sect come, will I still have a chance to find you?" It's better to stay with me, and if you're bored, I can serve you again. ”

"If you still live."

Of course, this sentence was not said by Li Yang, for girls, he has always refused to come, how could he speak ill of each other.

The voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

At the same time, three figures came from the dark night in the distance, crossed the courtyard gate, entered the courtyard, and came to Li Yang and Qing'er.

It's three old men.

They wore the same dark green embroidered robes and the same white jade and gold crowns on their heads, and anyone could see that they belonged to the same sect.

Western Demon Cult!

And these three old men are the three protectors of the Western Demon Sect, Hanmei, Withered Bamboo, and Lone Pine, and the people in the rivers and lakes call them: Three Friends of the Cold Year!
