As if following that light, Ouyang Xiaoleng walked through the narrow tunnel and opened his eyes in the fragrance of plum blossoms. The figure sitting on the edge of the bed who kept nodding her head because of exhaustion was the human girl he was familiar with, and her left hand was also warmly held by that person, and he thought that maybe it was because it was a hand connected to the heart, so there would be warmth overflowing from the atrium.

Xia Qiu had been guarding Ouyang Xiaoleng in a coma, quietly looking at his quiet face, his hands were so cold that she didn't dare to take her eyes off his face for a moment, only the faint tremor of his nose between his breaths could reassure her. She didn't know when she started to fall asleep, but when she reacted, she opened her eyes suddenly, and a pair of gray-blue eyes were looking at her.

That time, the poison of the stagger mother in Xia Qiu's body was Ouyang Xiaoleng who was guarding her by the bed to wake up, but this time it was her waiting for him. The same anxious expectation, just for a common emotion, this time and again life and death, is a torment and a test.

"Are you awake?" Xia Qiu looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng's beautiful cheeks, and was even reluctant to breathe and blink.

"Hmm."

Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't bear to wake up Xia Qiu just now, he was weak and sat in one position for a long time, his body couldn't help but be a little stiff, he leaned back slightly and let out a light sigh.

"Does it still hurt?" Xia Qiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she asked distressedly.

"It doesn't hurt!"

In fact, although he had taken the pain-relieving potion, the stab in his chest by the Yaksha still made him feel a dull pain when he spoke and breathed, but looking at Xia Qiu's red and swollen eyes, how could he bear to say it to make her even more worried.

"Gotta hurry up and tell Momiji and Isamu that you're awake! In order to heal you, Momiji constantly lost his demonic power to you to heal, and as soon as you were out of danger, he was tired and collapsed, and now he doesn't know what happened. Xia Qiu sobbed and said.

Her words made Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart tighten, if it weren't for his negligence, he wouldn't have let the Yaksha sneak attack succeed, let alone give birth to so many incidents. Even a little bit of demonic power takes a long time to cultivate, and it is not a last resort, and no one will use their demonic power to heal others. He knew very well that he was seriously injured, and being able to pull him back from the line of life and death must have cost Ouyang Hongye a lot of demonic power.

He nodded and said to her, "Go ahead!" I'll rest a little longer! ”

It was already twilight outside, and when Xia Qiu walked outside Ouyang Yong's room, a solemn breath came out of the house, and there was no usual laughter inside, and the voices of Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye were so low.

"I just went to see Mochizuki, and he seems to be fine, although it calms the mood of those princes for the time being, but it's hard to guarantee that they won't change their minds!" Ouyang Hongye's pale face frowned, but it was a pity for his handsome face.

"Alas!"

Ouyang Yong's sigh revealed exhaustion and worry, it seemed that the successful resolution of the Divine Pillar Crisis had just happened yesterday, and now he had to face such a thorny problem.

"I didn't expect Qingyun to use such a means to let Yasha sneak into Chenji Palace to take Xiao Leng's life, and successfully passed the blame on to Mochizuki!" The more Ouyang Hongye thought about it, the more angry he became, and the green tendons of his clenched fists burst out.

"Fortunately, Xiao Leng Ji is a natural person and escaped, otherwise he ......" Ouyang Yong's palpitations when he learned that Ouyang Xiao Leng's life was on the eve of his life were only a handful in thousands of years.

Xia Qiu was still hesitating outside the door whether to go in, but she heard Ouyang Hongye's call: "Xia Qiu, it's you outside the door, right?" Come on in! ”

"Xiao Leng has woken up, although he is still a little weak, I want to tell you as soon as possible!" Xia Qiu walked into the house around the plum blossom screen and said.

"Great! I can rest assured too! Ouyang Hongye's eyebrows finally stretched out a little, and he said with relief.

"yes, yes, there's finally good news!" Ouyang Yong couldn't help but nod in response.

"Is something wrong?" Xia Qiu asked tentatively.

"The princes pointed the spearhead of Xiao Leng's assassination at Mochizuki, and insisted that it was him and Yaksha who should cooperate with each other, and under pressure, they had to follow their wishes and temporarily put Mochizuki in the dungeon!"

Xia Qiu heard Ouyang Hongye's words, and sighed in astonishment: "How can this be?!" ”

Ouyang Hongye comforted her and said, "No matter what, Mochizuki is safe for the time being, just eat a little bit of flesh and skin, so don't worry about him!" ”

Ouyang Yong diverted the topic on the side and asked, "Shall we go to see Xiao Leng now, or a little later?" ”

Ouyang Hongye pondered for a moment and said, "Later!" You are also tired in summer and autumn, I will call Thorns to send you back! You will come directly to the Auxiliary Star Hall early tomorrow morning, and I will explain it to Mu Ya at the school. ”

Xia Qiu nodded and said, "Xiao Leng is still resting, so I won't say goodbye to him!" If he wakes up and comes to me, he says I'll come back tomorrow morning! ”

Thorn still escorted Xia Qiu home in the posture of a little cardinal, and it was another day and a night to leave home in a blink of an eye, since Ouyang Xiaoleng had hypnotized her grandparents with demon magic before, they would no longer worry about her not returning at night, if Dad occasionally asked on the phone, they would also play a round for her. At first, she felt guilty about it, but then she felt that it would make them happy and save them the trouble of explaining to them, which was the most appropriate way for now.

She collapsed on her bed, tired but unable to sleep, and although the days of contact with Mochizuki were not long, she knew him well. The physical suffering may not be much to him, but being unjustly detained with his temperament will definitely cause him physical and mental frustration.

What bothered her was the vast Qingyun, and she understood more and more why everyone was afraid of him. Ouyang Xiaoleng had just ascended to the throne, and this kind of thing happened, which made her have to worry about the vast road ahead, and she always felt that Qingyun's invisible claws were waiting for an opportunity to attack them not far away. Outside, the north wind was beating against the window, and she forced herself to close her eyes, not to think about these problems for a while, and tomorrow morning, she would go to the royal city.

Ouyang Hongye lay on the side of the bed and gently called Ouyang Xiaoleng's name: "Hey, Xiao Leng!" ”

After Xia Qiu left, Ouyang Xiaoleng fell asleep unconsciously, and it was already night when he woke up again. Woken up by Ouyang Hongye, he sat up from the bed, and in a daze, his movements were a little too big and he tore the wound on his chest, and he couldn't help but scream: "Ah! ”

"Be careful!" Ouyang Hongye reminded reproachfully.

"Did you catch the Yaksha?" Ouyang Xiaoleng is most concerned about this issue at the moment.

"No, Mochizuki tried his best to catch up, but he still couldn't get him back, and Mochizuki was imprisoned!" Ouyang Hongye shook his head and replied.

"What?"

Ouyang Hongye told the ins and outs of the future, and asked Ouyang Xiaoleng, who had faced the Yaksha, if he could think of any clues.

"I have a gut feeling that he is simply coming for the crown of the demon king, because the position where he attacked me is exactly where the crown of the demon king in my body is located!" Ouyang Xiaoleng thought for a moment and said.

"The Demon King's Crown?! It seems that he is still obsessed with using the evil power of the Black Fire Purgatory! ”

"Or to free someone in the Black Fire Purgatory? Xia Qiu once mentioned to me that when she was on Immortal Island, the Feather Crane Immortal had told her that Qingyun had been to the Crane Spring Township a long time ago, and had tried to get the Feather Crane Immortal to communicate with someone locked up in the Black Fire Purgatory with the Soul Separation Technique. ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng's words reminded Ouyang Hongye, and he said with some excitement: "Then everything is more reasonable!" Why don't we secretly let Mochizuki go, and say that he escaped by himself, and let him find a way to get in touch with Sanmu and look for clues about this matter in various parts of the demon world! ”

"I agree! If you find valuable information, you can clear his name! Moreover, those princes have always been suspicious, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and it is very likely that there are people who have taken refuge in Qingyun to instigate them, maybe they will soon ask to dispose of Mochizuki, or let him leave the royal city as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Ouyang Hongye walked out after speaking.

In the middle of the night, in the dungeon of the royal city, a man wearing a black cloak appeared, and the man could not tell who it was with his face covered. Since Yaksha's escape, the dungeon has been heavily guarded, and the fact that this person can enter in such a costume makes Mochizuki even more suspicious.

The man in black obviously deliberately concealed his demonic aura, so that others could not judge his identity through his breath. He walked straight to the cell where Mochizuki was being held, and with a slight touch of a hand from his cloak, the seal on the cell door fell, and the lock was automatically opened.

Mochizuki wondered if it was the person sent by Qingyun to kill him, so he stood up and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man in black who walked into the cell put his hand to his lips to signal him to remain silent, and then put his hand on top of his head a little. If it were a normal time, Mochizuki would definitely want to resist such a psychedelic technique, but for some reason, he was defenseless in front of this person, and he only felt that he lost consciousness as soon as he felt weak.

Mochizuki felt that someone had slapped her face a few times, and she subconsciously prepared to resist, so she came to her senses. In front of him was no one else, but Ouyang Hongye, and the two of them were in a dilapidated house.

He looked up and asked Ouyang Hongye, "Where is this?" ”

Ouyang Hongye replied to him with a smile: "Outside the city." Rest assured, it's safe here! ”

"Am I not supposed to be in the dungeon?" Mochizuki was still a little incredulous.

"In order to prevent someone in the royal city from instigating those princes to change their minds one day, they have to put you to death, I discussed with Xiao Leng, I still want you to leave there temporarily!"

Mochizuki asked worriedly, "Won't anyone suspect that you let me go?" ”

An important reason for him to be willing to bear the charge was Ouyang Hongye's innocence, if it was because he let him go and caused the princes to suspect Ouyang Hongye, then his efforts would not be in vain.

"I'm going to wronged you! You will also be regarded as a traitor who has taken refuge in Qingyun and assisted the Yaksha for the time being, and you will not be able to return to the royal city for a while! Only in this way can everyone believe that the same person who released the Yaksha from the dungeon assisted you in leaving! ”

After hearing Ouyang Hongye's words, Mochizuki was a little difficult to accept, and shouted: "Then I might as well be locked up in prison!" ”

"Listen to me! Xiao Leng recalled that Yasha was trying to snatch the crown of the demon king in his body at that time, and according to our analysis, his purpose was probably not simply to use the power of the Black Fire Purgatory, but to rescue someone in the Black Fire Purgatory! ”

"Oh?" Mochizuki interrupted Ouyang Hongye's words.

"Exactly, all along, the enemy is dark and I am clear, so that we have repeatedly fallen for Qingyun's tricks. So although you are wronged, you must become a shadow warrior for Wang Cheng, for Xiao Leng and us at this moment, hide in the dark, and do your best to destroy Qingyun's conspiracy while collecting intelligence! I know how unfair this is to you, but ......" Ouyang Hongye stopped talking.

Mochizuki looked at him firmly and said, "Well, I understand!" If that's the case, leave it to me! It doesn't matter what kind of samurai he is, as long as you still trust me, as long as you Momiji still treat me as a brother, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will not give up looking at the moon! ”
