"Actually, little brother ......" The smile on Ao Long's face didn't last long, and he disappeared. Actually, there are some things I haven't told you completely. ”

I thought that all the problems had been solved, but Ao Long's words instantly pushed me into the deep valley of doubt.

Ao Long stood by the pond and seemed to be smiling, and he could see that he was very concerned about what he was going to say next. "Little brother, you are so smart, guess why the Emperor of Heaven gave me this pill."

"Isn't it to save my eldest brother's life?" I asked, confused.

He shook his head meaningfully. "I'm afraid it's just a high-sounding excuse."

"I really don't understand, so please tell Brother Ao in detail."

Ao Long took my hand and said slowly. "Come, little brother, help me to the gazebo."

I helped him step by step up the mottled stone steps, although it was a small rockery, but at the moment it was as difficult as a mountain and water to find no way out.

Outside the window, the winter snow was full, and the cold wind was blowing into the small garden.

"Little brother, I'm actually hesitant to tell you these things, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept what stupid things to do." Ao Long leaned on the dew-stained pillars of the pavilion and slowly sat down on the stone bench. "But if you don't tell you, I'm afraid that you will continue to be so kind, and sooner or later you will be harmed by others. And you almost put your life on the line for this, and it is your right to know the truth. ”

"Brother Ao, say it quickly, I can accept anything. You were seriously injured to save everyone, and now you have to be beaten back to the prototype, which is the most unacceptable thing for me. ”

Ao Long nodded, smiling at the snow outside the window, his face light and cloudy. "The Emperor of Heaven gave me this medicine, in fact, he was afraid that I would lie to him, and he was worried that my serious injury was faked."

His short sentence made me shudder a little. "This ......"

"Even if I'm not seriously injured, I'm afraid he'll give me that pill." Ao Long covered his mouth and coughed dryly twice, his breathing becoming rapid. "My father was wronged, and the Heavenly Court itself has already taken care of it, and the Heavenly Emperor will definitely be afraid that the Dragon Palace will have something to worry about. The reason why he temporarily detained me was not because he wanted to kill me, but because he wanted to see what the Dragon Palace was doing in such a situation, but Yuluo used the most direct method to lead the army to hit the Heavenly Court, and also demolished the South Heavenly Gate directly. This is something that even I didn't think about. ”

"Is it right for Yuluo to do this?"

"There's no right or wrong, but it's the best thing to do from her standpoint. Just by doing so, she implemented the truth that the Dragon Palace had a sense of resistance, and it also implemented the Heavenly Emperor's previous concerns. As the Dragon King, I have the power to command the army of the Dragon Palace, so I am naturally the object of suppression. Once I was beaten back to my original form, there would only be one dragon left in the Dragon Palace. Ao Long's tone became more and more low.

"Then Heavenly Court will sit back and relax, and it will no longer be afraid of the Dragon Palace's revenge." I said the rest for him. "It's despicable."

"Little brother, don't be extreme." Ao Long smiled bitterly. "Everyone has their own position, and what the Emperor of Heaven, as the head of the Heavenly Court, has to do is to maintain the stability of the Heavenly Court. From his point of view, this is understandable. ”

I really didn't know how to say it, but I felt very depressed in my heart.

"Actually, little brother, the night I took you to the Heavenly Court, I left alone and didn't go to the Pilgrim Palace, nor did I meet other gods, but went to the Xuanming Palace." Ao Long said as he took out a white vitreous body from his pocket. "I was looking for some other evidence, but I accidentally found this."

"What is this?" I took the little vitreous and looked at it closely.

"This is a recording device of the Heavenly Court, which can be conjured up when placed in water, and it is another recording tool besides photographs." When Ao Long said this, his whole face became very gloomy. "It was a secret conversation between the Emperor of Heaven and Xuan Ming. Xuan Ming is cunning and suspicious by nature, and he will secretly record every meeting and conversation in the Heavenly Court. ”

"This ...... I didn't expect a high-ranking god to do such a thing. ”

"But I really have to thank Xuan Ming, otherwise I'm afraid this truth will sink to the bottom of the sea and be buried deep together with the Dragon Palace." Ao Long turned around and began to hold on to the stone wall towards the pool. "Actually, if you hadn't happened to take a photo of Xuan Ming insulting the Emperor of Heaven in the downtown area that day, I guess I would have played this recording above the Heavenly Court Trial."

"What's in there?" I had a sense of foreboding, and for a moment I was a little scared, and I even wanted to escape from this recording.

Ao Long just looked at the sparkling water with a hesitant expression, but he didn't answer me, he threw the glass directly into the water.

In an instant, the calm water was still boiling, and the sound of cascading water waves was emitted.

Rustling......

"Heavenly Emperor, do you really want to deal with the Dragon Palace? The Dragon King, as my colleague, has always been conscientious, and the water system of the mortal world has been organized by him...... "This is a hoarse voice, the speaker should have already entered an advanced age, otherwise it would not be so low.

It sounded so familiar, especially the Dragon King as my colleague, which seemed to me to have just heard it yesterday.

It dawned on me that this was not the voice of the sin god.

"Xuan Ming, you still see the problem too narrowly, the Dragon Palace has always been autonomous for a long time, although it is superficially subordinate to the Heavenly Court, but in fact, it has always been strengthening the army." This voice sounds rich and majestic, and I naturally know clearly, this is the voice of Emperor Xuanyuan. "Moreover, all these years, mortals have been offering to the Dragon Palace without passing through our Heavenly Court, and the financial resources of the Dragon Palace can be described as rich, even comparable to the entire Heavenly Court."

Is this what the heroic and upright Emperor of Heaven said? I really couldn't believe my ears at all, and the sound of my heart was almost filling my chest.

There was a long silence in the recording, except for the intermittent sighs of Xuan Ming.

"Heavenly Emperor......" Xuan Ming seemed to want to speak and stopped. Forget it, since the Emperor of Heaven said so, I will do so, and ask the Emperor of Heaven to give further instructions. ”

"Xuan Ming, if you do this, all the gods in the Heavenly Court will follow your example, and I will be deeply grateful to you in my heart." The Emperor cleared his throat. "You don't need to do anything, I'll give you a week's vacation, you just travel to the mortal world, and then don't worry about anything."

"Travel!" I could hear that Xuan Ming was taken aback, and he was a little incoherent for a while. "Emperor of Heaven, I am the god of rain, and it is my duty to offer rain. If you ask me to travel, won't the mortal world have no rain for a few years? ”

"What are you afraid of? I just want to let the world go without rain for a few years, and complain, so that those mortals can blame the dragon palace. "The Heavenly Emperor's tone is extremely harsh, and there is no doubt about it." Xuanming! This is a request, and it is also an order. ”

"This ...... Then if the other gods blame me, you Emperor...... You'll help me. ”

"Hahaha!" A slightly mocking laugh suddenly rang out. "That's nature."

"That's good, that's good."

I can imagine Xuan Ming panicking as he said his last words.

The rustling sound sounded again, and the fluctuating lake was as calm as a mirror at the moment.

After just a few minutes of conversation, I felt that my whole outlook on life was about to collapse, and the beautiful scenery of the heavenly court in my mind became the most filthy shadow in an instant.

"Big brother, why? You all know why you came to the aid of Heaven yesterday. "I just feel like my brain is blank, my nose is sore, and my eyes are filled with tears." And he almost took his own life. ”

"I can't be as ruthless as the Emperor, so I only do what I feel is right." Ao Long turned his back to the lake, and his breathing became loose. "Brother, don't feel sorry for me, I said this is already the best result for me."

"Whether it's a human being, a demon, a hundred years, or a thousand years, you have to do something that you think is right."

"Also, don't tell Yuluo about it. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it. ”

At this moment, this great hero who was still majestic yesterday seems to me to be the most depressed and lonely person in the world, I see him wandering alone in the palace of Nuoda, I see him struggling alone in the dark deep sea, and I see him sighing helplessly when he sees the life of the mortal world withering.

He chose to bear this pain alone, in the simplest and most direct way, and even took all of his all.

He grabbed my arm, pointed to the stairs, and forced a smile. "It's come to this, why don't you accompany me to the second floor for a cup of tea."
