Chapter 16: The Shadow of the Past (I)

Facing An Youran, who was waiting for the next step, Xiao Suchen's heart couldn't help but feel a sad sigh.

It's really a dilemma......

Take her with you...... This girl's ability to get into trouble, I'm afraid I don't know what earth-shattering leaks will be poked out!

Let her go...... With her tenth-level 'fan's level skills, I'm afraid that she will be caught in less than a hundred steps, and she will be rewarded with a prize in a different place!

The safest way is for him to escort her away!

But...... This means that the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets will never be known!

Maybe...... There was nothing in it, just wishful thinking.

Or perhaps...... There's it all inside! That everything he wants at all costs!

With his eyes closed and he took a deep breath, Xiao Suchen stroked his head and sighed helplessly, "It's okay if you insist on going, but after you go in, you must listen to my orders!" You should understand that if there is a slight mistake, it will no longer be a child's play with laughter, but a major event that will cost us our lives! ”

Since he knew the meaning of Xiao Suchen's words, An leisurely and simply agreed, "Don't worry, I didn't think about putting myself in here, and I won't cause you trouble, I will act according to your will later." ”

After narrowing his eyes and confirming the seriousness in An Youran's eyes, Xiao Suchen nodded and pulled her into the secret room. An Youran didn't want to be so close to him, and he wanted to break free when he shook his hand, but he couldn't resist the darkness in this hole, so he could only give up. In fact, I should thank Xiao Suchen for taking precautions, I thought that the rockery was only more than two feet from the outside, and the secret room was only a blink of an eye, but I didn't know that the two of them walked in the tunnel in the dark for a stick of incense before faintly seeing some light.

And these bright lights not only dispelled the darkness, but also illuminated An You, who thought he had misjudged the situation and bowed his head and blamed himself, and returned to the red light on his face, "Look, look, there is a ...... over there"

"Shhhh ”

Stretching out his hand to wrap his hand around An Ran's slender waist, Xiao Suchen performed light skills and jumped onto a beam with her in his arms. A red sandalwood plaque hangs high in front of them, which acts as an excellent barrier for them and allows them to get a glimpse of it from the best position.

This secret room hidden deep underground is not as dark and crude as expected, on the contrary, it is rich enough to be comparable to Yaotai Yinque. The jade is paved with decorations for the column, and the antique calligraphy and painting gold and silver ornaments are even more dazzling, as if they can dazzle people's eyes. The middle-aged man who created this unique cave obviously enjoyed this kind of poverty and luxury more than anyone else, he was lying on his side on the carved chair made of tiger skin, his eyes were half-thin and sipping the grape wine on the maid's table, but a pair of dark eyes always looked at the prisoner who was shackled to the torture rack, and only looked at the slanted eyes as if to tear the man apart and grind it to pieces.

"His Royal Highness King Jin...... You have been glorious all your life, and you were born to be superior, but did you ever think that you would fall into such a situation? Through the glass cup in his hand, Liu Kun squinted his eyes, looking playfully at the once supreme and noble man, and the corners of his cold lips were filled with a cold smile, "Li Jing, you say...... What would it be like if I broke your limbs and hung them on the tower for three days and three nights? ”

Speaking from the heart, An Youran was not surprised to see King Jin here, because whether it was the déjà vu when he saw the mysterious person outside the Yuande Palace, or the various abnormalities that Li Yan abandoned her, Li Jing's origin was all implemented. Otherwise, she would not have voluntarily returned to Fanghua Temple in order to prevent Li Yan from saving her father, and forced Xiao Suchen to become a helper. But when she saw the current situation of King Jin with her own eyes, she still couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Liu Kun, you shameless villain!" Slowly raising his head, Li Jing revealed his face covered by long hair, blood dripping down his heroic outline, and the long robe that had already been dyed bright red all over his body was cloudy, mottled and blurred with flesh and blood, it was really unimaginably tragic, "This king has always regarded you as a sibling, whether it is to increase the official or bring a reward, I think I have never treated you badly!" But you framed my son for being disloyal, instigated the emperor to kill him, and forced me to raise troops against the court! That's how you repay me?! ”

"Siblings? Treat me to me? Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, Liu Kun couldn't help laughing in the sky, and the sharp laughter was like the whistling sound at the entrance of the hell cave, echoing throughout the secret room, and everyone felt an inexplicable chill from the bottom of their hearts. Li Jing! You righteous hypocrite! You robbed my woman, but here you mention to me what brotherhood! Do you want me to repay it? Good! I will report that your Jin Wangfu is ruined, and that your Li family will be ruined! ”

Obviously, Li Jing didn't know much more about Liu Kun's clamor than An Xiao and the others, and he replied violently, "What are you crazy about?!" When will I take what you love, and when will I ruin your life?! Since this king has become your prisoner, he never thought that he would be able to escape with his whole body! If you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the respect, why bother to talk about these nonsense to laugh and be generous?! ”

"You think I'm talking gibberish?" Slowly walking in front of Li Jing, Liu Kun bent his eyes, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Li Jing...... I've been with you since I was eight years old. When I was a child, I was your attendant; For a long time, I will lay down my life for you. You know? Believe it or not, I've always longed for you, because you have everything the world could wish for: status, power, wealth, status, ....... To be by your side even feels like a grace from God! Just ......"

The soothing tone suddenly turned sharply, as if the majestic rain that had been brewing in the summer night broke out in an instant, Liu Kun grabbed Li Jing's hair and roared like lightning and thunder, "You already have the whole world, but why don't you even let Toya go?!" She's supposed to be my wife! I saw her first, and I went to the old patriarch to ask for marriage first! But because of you! Because your sword snatches love! Let her leave me without hesitation, abandon my sincerity, and choose to elope with you! Yes, at that time, I was just a down-and-out warrior clan under the fence, a mere seven-grade Yilu captain, how could I compare with you, the powerful and prestigious King Rongnan Jin! Therefore...... I understand, in this world, if a person is penniless and will not get anything, he will only be trampled under the feet of others forever! So I want to be powerful, I want to be powerful, I want to get ahead! I will make all of you who have betrayed me, who regard me as dung, never be reborn......"

With the outbreak of Liu Kun's anger, a long-sealed past gradually appeared in front of An Youran......

Twenty years ago, King Jin, who was still young, was appointed by the emperor to embark on the road of envoy to Lanzang in the name of an envoy. But when passing through Yingbei, he encountered a rare snowstorm in a hundred years, and was accidentally separated from the accompanying people, only Liu Kun, who was a guard, walked for three days and three nights with a high fever on his back, and finally met a nomadic tribe. However, what they don't know is that this encounter not only saved their lives, but also turned their fate upside down! Because there, they met the woman who changed their lives - Toya!
