The door behind him was finally pushed open with a creak, and Ouyang Hongye walked out, looking haggard, and after taking a few steps, he almost fell to the ground, being held up by thorns and wind and fire.

"It's finally ......" Ouyang Hongye breathed a long sigh of relief, "Xiao Leng finally survived." ”

"Great! It took a day and a night to treat him, and you are tired, thorns, wind and fire help the red leaves to rest, and the rest will be left to the demon servants to do. Ouyang Yong commanded.

"Yes!"

Thorns and wind and fire supported Ouyang Hongye and was about to leave, but Ouyang Hongye turned to Xia Qiu and said to her in a very weak voice, "Go and see him, although he is in a coma, you are by your side, you will definitely make him feel better." ”

Xia Qiu glanced at Ouyang Yong, saw that he also nodded, and walked into the house. On the bed behind the curtain, Ouyang Xiaoleng was lying there, with gauze wrapped around his chest and arms, and a few scars on his cheeks. From time to time, his face showed a painful expression, as if he was tormented by the pain on his body. Her heart ached in the same way, and she reached out and gently stroked his cheek to give him support and comfort, a familiar scene that reminded her of the first time they had met many years ago, when he had also been hurt. She grabbed his hand, the faint temperature reassuring her, glad she hadn't lost him, and he was still by her side.

"How did Yaksha get out of the dungeon?"

After sending Ouyang Hongye to rest, he returned to the thorns in the Auxiliary Star Hall with the leopard demon Fenghuo, and heard the question of Lion King Cheng outside Ouyang Yong's room.

"I can't figure it out, the lock of the dungeon is intact, and the seal is also broken from the outside, if he doesn't have the ability to get out of the shell of the golden cicada, then someone in the palace released him." Ouyang Yong replied.

"Now the royal city is full of gossip, saying that Mochizuki should have put Yaksha to death in Ochimata, but it is incomprehensible that he brought him back to the royal city." Although Lion Wang Cheng did not fully believe the words of the princes, he also felt that there was some truth.

"You listen to the gibberish of those people? Mochizuki just followed the instructions of Xiao Leng, me, and Momiji to capture him so that he could get news of Qingyun from him. ”

"I know that, too, but don't you think it's a strange thing? Qingyun had gone so hard to get the hidden pine, how could he leave this Yaksha alone to guard the city? No matter how powerful he is, it's unreasonable, so ......"

"I believe that Mochizuki is a person, his brother Tingyue was also killed by Qingyun, including the old city lord of Hidden Song, who was forced to death by Yasha, Dao Lance, is also his best friend, and he can't have any connection with Qingyun." Ouyang Yong retorted for Mochizuki.

"In any case, when he returns from his pursuit of the Yakshas, we must confront him in front of the princes in order to calm the princes' doubts. Xiao Leng has just ascended to the throne, and now people's hearts are not stable, but such a thing happened at this time, hey. ”

"Well, that's it."

Thorns and Wind and Fire finally stopped arguing with the two people in the house before they walked in.

"How's Momiji?" Ouyang Yong asked when he saw them returning.

"As soon as I got back to my room, I fell asleep." Thorn replied.

"It's no wonder that in order to save Xiao Leng, he treated him with demon power day and night, and it was not in vain." Ouyang Yong nodded, as if talking to himself.

"yes, yes." Lion King Cheng sighed and stood up, "I'll go back to rest first, let's wait until Mochizuki comes back." ”

After getting the news that Ouyang Xiaoleng had not woken up but was out of danger, the princes and nobles who were crowded in front of the gate of Chenji Palace finally slowly dispersed. But the atmosphere in the royal city was still tense, and although the soldiers retreated from the streets, they had to patrol on a large scale every few hours.

Mochizuki has been chasing after Ouyang Xiaoleng since Yaksha attacked him, and this time he has made up his mind that he will not care about any rules again, as long as Yaksha is caught by him, he will definitely cut off his head and bring him back to the royal city. He rode a demon horse all the way south from the royal city to chase Yaksha, and several times he almost caught up with him but failed, and finally Yaksha disappeared in a forest.

During the short period of time when Mochizuki was chasing the Yakshas, the princes kept writing to the two elders, Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng, fabricating all kinds of evidence about his defection. Although most of the slanders seem to be self-defeating, there are a few that say the truth, and he himself does not know that he is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Ouyang Yong knew very well why these people were so suspicious, because whenever Qingyun was involved, the princes and nobles in the royal city would become neurotic. Their fear of him has reached an unbelievable level, and fear makes them feel like they are in the dark, because not seeing them will give people hallucinations, so that any person or thing they think might have something to do with Qingyun will make them break down and go crazy.

In order to calm their uneasiness, it is up to these people to vote on whether or not to hold a public trial against Mochizuki, and if the majority agrees, then Mochizuki must be questioned before elders, princes, and nobles.

This is what Ouyang Yong is most worried about, although Mochizuki seems to be informal on weekdays, he only knows how to drink and have fun, but in his bones he is the opposite of his brother Tingyue, he is a very arrogant person, and he has no reason to suspect that he defected to Qingyun, the murderer of his brother, is likely to touch his bottom line, and even let him give up the opportunity to defend himself.

Mochizuki already felt that he had fallen for the conspiracy of the Yakshas, and it seemed that he had deliberately lost to himself in the city of Hidden Pines, and that he would not immediately take his life if he won the bet, but would take him back to the royal city to be disposed of. But at the same time, he also thought that there must be a Nakshatra in the royal city, otherwise how could he escape from the heavily guarded dungeon at night and attack Ouyang Xiaoleng by surprise?

Thinking of Xiao Leng, he couldn't help but worry about his injury, he was negligent for a moment when he fell for the trick of the Yaksha, but he hurt Xiao Leng, when he left the royal city, he knew that Xiao Leng's injury was not light, he thought that since he could no longer find the trace of the Yaksha, it was better to rush back to the royal city to see Xiao Leng's situation.

Early the next morning, Lion King Cheng discussed with Ouyang Yong to summon the prince and some powerful nobles into the Chenji Palace, and decided in the form of a vote whether to hold a public trial of Mochizuki. Although Ouyang Yong was reluctant, he couldn't resist the reason of Lion King Cheng, after all, Xiao Leng had just ascended the throne, and he had to calm down this uneasy mood among the princes and nobles as soon as possible, otherwise it would be detrimental to him being in charge of the demon world. And Mochizuki, as a person close to Xiao Leng, if he can't get a fair trial according to common sense, it will inevitably make others unconvinced.

When the Moon Wind and Dust servants returned to Chenji Palace, he went straight to Yuheng Palace, from the guards outside the gate and even the strange eyes of the servants in the palace, he seemed to catch something, and before he reached the Tianquan Palace, he heard the noisy discussion inside. Those voices seemed to be surging out of the main hall, and they sounded as if they were talking about their own affairs, but the words were so far away from him.

"What if he thinks he's been exposed and never returns?"

"yes, he shouldn't have been allowed to chase after some Yaksha in the first place!"

"That person once disappeared in the royal city for a long time, saying that he was wandering all over the world, who knows what he did."

"I've had drinks with him, and I think he's very easy-going."

"Hiding a knife in a smile is the scariest thing!"

“……”

Mochizuki stepped into the Heavenly Power Hall with these countless piercing denunciations, and his appearance was like a resting charm, making everyone in the hall instantly quiet. As he walked forward, he looked at the faces of the princes and nobles standing on both sides, they were all little people who were quick to talk about the moment, and they were terrified when they saw him, and many of them even turned their faces away and did not dare to meet his gaze, which inevitably made him feel ridiculous.

Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng were sitting on the two chairs under the throne of the demon king at the front of the main hall, with thorns, words and wind and fire standing behind them, as soon as they saw Mochizuki's figure, Ouyang Yong's face showed an extremely complicated expression. How could he convey the results of the votes of the many princes and nobles to Mochizuki? When he came back, he was going to be judged in front of everyone, which always made Ouyang Yong feel sorry for the person in front of him.

"Now that Mochizuki has returned, let's tell him the result of everyone's vote!" Just as Ouyang Yong was pondering, Lion King Cheng reminded.

"Hmm!" Although Ouyang Yong had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Mochizuki, I know you've had a hard time chasing the Yaksha all the way, but now the princes and nobles in the royal city have some questions for you that you need to answer."

Before Lion King Cheng's words fell, Mochizuki sneered, "This posture is not a question at all, but it is to judge me directly in public!" Well, I'd like to hear what you're suspecting about me. ”

Mochizuki's reaction was exactly what Ouyang Yong was worried about, he took a long breath, but he couldn't rush to defend him, but he wanted to pretend to be fair and listen to everyone's questions first, he thought that although everyone had doubts about him, they were all in the stage of doubt, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove that Mochizuki and Qingyun had any connection, and now was not the time to mess up.

"If you have questions about Mochizuki before, you can ask him questions one by one." Ouyang Yong said to the princes standing below.

At first, everyone was still muttering, not daring to ask loudly, but at this time, I don't know who shouted below, "You should tie him up first, what if we ask him to find out that he is really Qingyun's accomplice, let him run away?" ”

This was followed by a flurry of echoes.

"Yes, yes, since everyone voted to judge him, how can you be so relaxed?"

"yes, tie him up, lest he run away."

"Agreed."

Mochizuki smiled bitterly and shook his head, he saw his embarrassment from Ouyang Yong's face, and also somewhat realized that in order to calm the fear caused by Ouyang Xiaoleng's sneak attack, he was likely to become a victim, although he was unwilling, but there was no other way, at this time, if Ouyang Hongye could definitely find a way to defend himself, but there was no trace of him, he must be taking care of the seriously injured Xiao Leng.

"It's okay, since everyone is afraid that I will run away, then tie me up! I, Mochizuki, have never betrayed the Demon King Fox and anyone in the royal city, so there's nothing to be afraid of! He said calmly.

"Then I'll ...... first," said the lion king, using a demon spell to conjure up a rope and tie Mochizuki up.

"Okay, it's tied up, just ask if you have anything!" Mochizuki's voice was frank and loud.

The Lord of the Heavens, the red-eared demon spirit, stood up, his face was monkey-like, his hair was brown, he was dressed in a brown robe, and he said in a suppressed voice, "According to you, when you arrived at the Hidden Pine, only the Yaksha was the only one to defend the city, which is also too illogical. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the echoing voices below him continued.

"That is, Qingyun is such a cunning character, how can he return the city he just took so easily."

"It must have been him and Qingyun secretly colluding, the capture of Hidden Song is just a pretense, and it is their goal to easily get Yaksha into the palace and take the life of the demon king fox."

Thorn also wanted to say something to defend Mochizuki, but because of his identity, he couldn't speak, so he couldn't help but be annoyed, and looked at Yanming as if asking for help.

Yan Ming understood the meaning of the thorns, and he and Mochizuki also had some friendship, so he didn't believe that he would be a traitor who betrayed everyone, so he said: "You are all guesses, and it is very likely that Mochizuki fell for Qingyun's scheme!" ”

"That's right! With what I know about him along the way with him in our search for the Celestial Rune, I believe that Brother Mochizuki is a human being! Fenghuo, who had been silent, finally found an opportunity to complain for Mochizuki.
