Chapter 360: Warrior
When the Night Dragon Palace was in chaos, in a remote alley, Hong Yuan successfully rendezvoused with Zhu Wuji and the others, and saw Chu Ao, who was rescued from the dungeon.
This is a middle-aged man, with a large skeleton, a head taller than the Hong Python, and it can be seen that he was indeed a warrior, but the long-term imprisonment and torture have made him so thin that he is not human-shaped, and almost only a layer of skin is wrapped in bones. There were still many wounds on his body, scarred, and Hong Yuan could no longer feel any breath of life on his body, as if he was already a skeleton that had been dead for a long time.
"Big brother, this is what I told you about Hong Yuan, Hong Gongzi!" Xu Wenbin introduced.
"Hehe, good, good, sure enough...... , sure enough, he is young and promising!"
Chu Ao smiled, hearty by nature, and wanted to struggle to sit up from the stretcher. As a result, the wound was torn at the slightest movement, and the breath was weak and could not be lifted at all.
"It's good to lie down, and get a good rest first. ”
Hong Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chu Ao, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "It's not safe here, go back to Hongfu and go!"
"Yes, let's go!"
Zhu Wuji glanced at the two night demon warriors and was about to leave on a stretcher, but was stopped by Xu Wenbin.
Xu Wenbin didn't speak, stretched out his hand to press the stretcher, and looked at his brother Chu Ao lying on the stretcher, with indescribable sadness in his eyes. Hong Yuan saw that Chu Ao's condition was not good, his injuries were very serious, and his life breath was getting weaker and weaker, so he stepped forward and held Chu Ao's hand to probe his pulse, and his heart became heavier and heavier. Chu Ao's pulse was weak and very disordered, a sign that he was at the end of his life, and the situation was worse than expected.
"Hong ...... , Hong Gongzi, don't waste your efforts, my body is already weak, who ...... , no one can save it. After living for so many years, I have long been proud of myself...... , enough is enough. Before I die, I am blessed to meet a young hero like you. ”
Chu Ao grinned, knowing that he was about to die, but his face was full of smiles, and he was open-minded by nature.
Hong Yuan's mouth moved, looking at Chu Ao, whose breath of life was passing rapidly, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Wenbin didn't say a word, but his eyes were red.
Relying on Hong Yuan's great help, he finally rescued the person, but what is unexpected is that Chu Ao's body has been so weak, as Chu Ao himself said, he has reached the end of his life and is powerless.
"Wen Bin, cheer up, there is nothing to be afraid of death, everyone will have such a day. ”
Chu Ao comforted Xu Wenbin's brother in turn, perhaps because he had returned to the light, and suddenly had the strength to speak, "Cheer up, I have a few words to say to you, and there are some things you need to deal with." ”
"Big brother, you say. Xu Wenbin held Chu Ao's hand, and his eyes became redder and redder.
Hong Yuan gave a look and led the pig demon Zhu Wuji and the others to retreat together.
"Hong ...... , Hong Gongzi, you stay. Chu Ao suddenly turned his head to look at Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan was a little surprised, and didn't ask more, standing behind Xu Wenbin.
In the distance, from time to time, the horns of the city guards were heard, and everywhere were soldiers patrolling around on war horses. Gradually, the city guards took control of the situation, quelled the unrest in the city, and began a massive search and interrogation to arrest anyone suspicious. The Ghost-faced Horsemen on guard on the perimeter sent back alarms from time to time, and the situation was getting worse and worse, but for a while the soldiers would not track down the alley.
"Wen Bin, I'm going to die, before I die, I'll tell you a secret. ”
Chu Ao took a breath and said, "There is one thing I haven't told you, the place where I really angered Hua Yueye was not that I didn't listen to her orders when I was on the front line, but that I secretly investigated her true identity. ”
"Big brother, you ...... , What secrets did you secretly discover?" Xu Wenbin asked, surprised in his heart.
For a long time, he thought that the reason why his eldest brother Chu Ao was put on death row by Hua Yueye was because he disobeyed military orders on the front line. Now, listening to Chu Ao's words, I know that there is something else hidden.
"Yes, a big secret!"
Chu Ao was silent, as if he was hesitating whether to say it or not, worried that it would harm Hong Yuan and Xu Wenbin.
"Big brother, what's the secret? What is the unsightly thing about that old witch on a rainy night?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"Hua Yueye's life experience is completely different from what she claims, she is indeed from the Hualong Empire, but she was not born in Huajiazhuang, but in China...... , Hualong City. She also doesn't have the surname Hua, but ...... , but surnamed Ji!" Chu Ao became excited, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Surname Ji?"
Xu Wenbin's face changed color, there are not many people with the surname Ji in the Hualong Empire, but many people are famous. Because, the surname Ji is the royal family of the Hualong Empire!
Hua Yueye was born in Hualong City and has the surname Ji, what does it mean?
Xu Wenbin didn't dare to think about it, and Hong Yuan, who was standing behind him, was also moved.
"Yes, it's surnamed Ji! Moreover, Hua Yueye is not an ordinary royal family, but the sister of the current Hualong Emperor! Her real name is Ji Yuehan, that is, the most mysterious Princess Yuehan among the many princesses of the Hualong Empire for many years!" Chu Ao paused word by word, and told an astonishing secret.
Hong Yuan and Xu Wenbin's hearts were shocked, like a thunderbolt from the sky.
An alliance giant who controls all aspects of the alliance is actually the sister of the current Hualong Emperor, is this true or false?
If true, what does that mean?
The alliance that seems to be self-reliant and has been fighting with the Hualong Empire for decades has long been a puppet of the Hualong Empire?
Hong Yuan couldn't believe it, he couldn't imagine how serious the matter would be if what Chu Ao said was true.
"Many years ago, I almost caught Hua Yueye secretly colluding with the envoy of the Hualong Empire and found evidence of her identity. It's a pity that at the last moment, it fell short and was discovered by the old witch on the night of the moon. It's just a little bit close, hateful old witch! Wen Bin, you must be careful of the persecution of the old witch, and you must also find a way to expose her true colors, and you can't let the alliance be ruined in her hands! Promise me, you must reveal her true colors, Wen Bin, can you do it?" Chu Ao held Xu Wenbin's palm in turn.
"Big brother, I promise you, I will definitely kill that old witch on the night of the moon!" Xu Wenbin nodded heavily, without the slightest hesitation in his heart.
At this time, he realized that when he was in the middle of the day and was about to be promoted to a night dragon general, why was he suddenly severely punished for a little thing and demoted to an ordinary night dragon guard. It turned out that it had nothing to do with the struggle for power and profit of the major families, the real reason was that Hua Yueye was worried that it would be bad for her to get too close to Chu Ao, so she deliberately seized her military power!
"Gongzi Hong, you ...... , can you help us?" Chu Ao looked at Hong Yuan, his face full of anticipation.
At the beginning, as the commander of his vine armor legion, he couldn't help Hua Yueye, but was suppressed and manipulated by the latter at will, and finally he was directly arrested and put on death row. With Xu Wenbin's identity and ability, it is even more impossible to complete this difficult task alone, unless you can find a strong like-minded person. In Chu Ao's eyes, Hong Yuan was the best candidate, and halfway through, he learned about Hong Yuan's identity and background through Xu Wenbin.
Hong Yuan was silent and didn't answer immediately, not knowing what to say for a while. Aunt Liu Ruyan has warned herself since she was a child that she should not enter the temple and not save her when she sees death; now, the task that Chu Ao confessed before his death is far more dangerous than saving people. The opponent is not an ordinary alliance master, but a high-ranking alliance giant! Once the grass startles the snake and alarms Hua Yueye, I am afraid that I will not be able to die with ten lives!
Chu Ao's eyes gradually dimmed, he also knew the arduousness and danger of the task, and he was not the slightest dissatisfied with Hong Yuan, but he still couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart. died like this, allowing Hua Yueye to continue to plague the alliance, and treating the entire alliance as a puppet of the Hualong Empire, he died blindly. For thousands of years, all those who died fighting for the alliance would also die without turning a blind eye!
"Young Master Hong, I'm ......" Xu Wenbin looked at Hong Yuan and couldn't say anything after half a sentence.
Hong Yuan was already very grateful that he could take a huge risk to rescue people, and he didn't dare to ask Hong Yuan to take even greater risks with him.
"Brother Chu, I really want to help you, but my cultivation is shallow, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much. ”
"However, it is said in the ancient books that the humble dare not forget the country, if things are really as you say, I, Hong Yuan, will never stand idly by!"
Hong Yuan thought for a moment and expressed his attitude.
"Okay, good, Hong...... , Hong Gongzi, it's enough to have your words. Wen Bin, follow Hong Gongzi well, he will be a noble person in your life, and he will also be the super league hero who will stand on the pinnacle of our alliance in the future, hahaha......" Chu Ao laughed, and then his head suddenly tilted, and he died of anger.
"Big Brother ......"
Xu Wenbin threw himself on Chu Ao and burst into tears.
Hong Yuan turned around with a faint sigh, before acting, he had made a full plan to rescue the person smoothly, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending.
