"Do we have to fight?" asked Chen Shu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I have to fight. Sikong Haoyue replied very firmly, "I am the future king of Kurosei, and I have known since I was a child that all opponents and hidden dangers should be eradicated before it grows, and you must die today." ”

"Just because you're afraid of me?" Chen Shu smiled, "You're just like that." ”

"You're a respectable opponent. Leaving the last sentence I couldn't tell whether it was sincere or perfunctory, Sikong Haoyue's figure retreated sharply, and disappeared into the night.

Chen Shu didn't chase after him either—the two men in black were already blocking the way he was chasing.

50 meters away, Sikong Haoyue retreated to Sikong Ming, who looked a little like him, and a man in black stood behind the two of them like a ghost, vigilant about everything around him.

"Father. Sikong Haoyue greeted Sikong Ming with some restraint.

"You're doing well today. ”

Sikong Ming's words were unclear, but the father and son tacitly understood it.

Sikong Ming was a puppet created by the red-robed old man, and he first became aware of this secret fifty years ago.

At that time, a beautiful maid was loved by Sikong Ming and got the opportunity to sleep.

For the maid from humble background, this is a good opportunity to ascend to the sky, but she seems particularly calm, her composure is like her person, like a white lotus on a summer night.

That night, she took advantage of Sikong Ming's deep sleep and tried to use soul spells to control Sikong Ming.

Sikong Ming had a splitting headache, and the oldest doctor in the palace tried his best, but he did not see the slightest improvement, and the well-informed Situ rushed into the palace overnight, only glanced at Sikong Ming, and his heart was chuckled.

"Soul Mage! She's a Soul Mage! Catch her!"

Immediately, someone grabbed the helpless woman, until the moment she was captured, she didn't even frown, and there was only incomprehension in her eyes.

With her cultivation, it should be easy to control Sikong Ming, why did she fail?

"Spare her life! I have something to ask him!" Sikong Ming forcibly endured the severe pain and confessed to Da Sikong.

"Yes. ”

It took 49 days for Sikong Ming's headache to improve, and at this moment, in the dungeon, she had been tortured to the point that she was inhuman, her body was covered with blood, and the wounds were layered on top of each other, and Sikong Ming could only recognize her with those calm eyes.

"Why?" Without waiting for Sikong Ming to speak, she asked first, "You're just an ordinary mage, why can't I control you?"

"I also want to know why. Sikong Ming replied honestly, "If you can tell me the reason, maybe I can spare your life." ”

She shook her head, "No, you can't spare me if you know why." ”

"How do you know if you don't try, I've always been true to my word since I inherited the throne, and that's well known throughout the Kuzelie Empire, you should trust me. ”

"It's different. ”

Silence, long silence. Neither of them spoke to convince the other.

"Change her place, it's too cold here. Sikong Ming stuffed the silver fox fur cloak into the cell and turned to leave.

Half a month after I went to see her again, she was indeed placed in a warm and spacious cell, which had a small window, and the sun would shine through the window at noon every day.

When Sikong Ming went to see her, she was sitting in that small patch of sunlight, squinting her eyes, like a comfortable cat, the injuries on his body had healed, and his complexion had improved.

"Have you ever seen the Hunter Falcon?" she spoke first.

"I've heard of it. ”

"Put the giant eagle in an iron cage, whip it until it is covered with bruises, then give a little food, pacify, whip again, and appease again until the sharpness in the eagle's eyes is gone, at this time, open the iron cage, and the giant eagle will obediently obey the hunter's drive. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"You can use the methods of the Eagles against me, but I will not give in. ”

Sikong Ming raised his eyebrows, "It's too early to draw conclusions, besides, all I want is an answer." ”

"I can tell you the answer, but I'm afraid you can't bear it. ”

"Is there anything in this world that I can't afford? ”

"Well, I have one condition: after I die, you must not embarrass my family. ”

"I won't embarrass your family, even you don't have to die. ”

The woman shook her head and stared at Sikong Ming stubbornly, "No! you must promise me personally!"

Sikong Ming nodded, "Okay, I promise, I won't embarrass your family at any time." ”

After receiving Sikong Ming's promise, there was a hint of cunning in the woman's eyes, she no longer hesitated, and immediately said to Sikong Ming: "There is only one reason why I can't control you, and that is that you have been manipulated by a soul mage who is more powerful than me. ”

"Nonsense!"

Fifty years ago, Sikong Ming had just ascended the throne, and he was not as calm and spicy as he is now, at that moment, he only felt like he had drunk cold water in the cold winter moon, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body.

The woman didn't answer him, just looked at him and smiled.

If what she said was true, how stupid and mediocre was it? When did the dignified King Hazelie become a puppet? Whose puppet did he become? He didn't even know.

If she lied, how deep would she be? Knowing that she would surely die if this big lie about royal power came out, she did it anyway, just to plant the seeds of doubt in his heart, so that he would never have peace in the future, how much hatred must she have for him?

Whatever her purpose, she succeeded, and even her death was as accurate as expected.

Three days later, Sikong Ming ordered her to be executed, without announcing to the world, without collective efforts, only a verbal message from King Sikong Ming.

On the same day, Da Sikong's mansion caught fire, and the whole family of one hundred and six families survived.

No one knew if there was a connection between the two things? No one dared to inquire, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the ministers, and no one would seek to be unlucky enough to touch Si Kongming's scales.

This secret has been in Sikong Ming's mind for fifty years, during which he has successively sent tens of thousands of people to secretly collect information about soul mages in various parts of the Demon Continent, and he has indeed obtained some information.

The fragments of this information are pieced together, and there is a faint spearhead directed at the school city.

Sikong Ming had also entered the inner city when he was studying in the school city, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember what happened in the inner city, but vaguely felt that it was a good place, and the red-robed old man there was very good to him and benefited him a lot.

He wasn't a person with a bad memory, only about the inner city of the school city, but he couldn't remember even a distorted picture anyway.

Fifty years later, when Sikong Ming discovered that Sikong Haoyue was secretly collecting soul locking nails, and secretly took away the "List of Soul Mages" in the royal family's collection, he had already guessed Sikong Haoyue's plan.

This child has been a person who can't pretend to have doubts in his heart since he was a child, and besides, the father and son are connected, maybe the worries he inadvertently reveals on weekdays have affected his son, making Sikong Haoyue suspicious of the inner city from the beginning.

It's impossible to tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But he knew that the future Wang would always have to carry some secrets by himself, and maybe it was time for Sikong Haoyue to experience it.

received a distress signal from Sikong Haoyue, and Sikong Ming's heart rose to his throat.

Has he discovered the secrets of the inner city? Is his father really a puppet who has been manipulated, and what will he do with this father who has disgraced his life in the future?

A series of doubts turned into a speeding speed, which made him just in time to come and see the scene of Sikong Haoyue and Chen Shu working together to kill the old man in the red robe.

The moment the red-robed old man died, there was a loud bang in Sikong Ming's mind, and something broke out of his consciousness, and his mind had never been so clear as it was at this time.

At that moment, he understood that he was not only the puppet of the old man in the red robe, but also created by the old man in the red robe himself, everything that happened in the inner city was vivid, how he was transplanted with his memory, and how he killed the owner who looked exactly like himself.

It turned out that it was more terrifying than he imagined.

It was as if he had gone back to the day fifty years ago, when he learned the truth from the female soul mage he was imprisoning.

It was cold to the bone, as if he were the only one left in the world—a lone beast, and there was not a single one of its kind in heaven and earth.

"Father. Sikong Haoyue's voice was like a life-saving rope, pulling him up from the ice cave of fear.

Not only did he have a rope, but his eyes of concern were like a bowl of hot old ginger soup, which warmed his whole body.

Sikong Haoyue knows it, but he still understands and loves Sikong Ming. Some things are like this, as long as the people you care about still love you, it doesn't matter what others think of you.

In this way, Sikong Ming has confidence again.

"Although that Chen Shu assisted Haoyue in killing the old man in the red robe, he must also know the secret of the inner city, and know my true identity, he must die, and this secret must be kept forever, otherwise the royal power will collapse, and Kurosei will fall into a civil war that will never be peaceful. ”

It only took a second for Sikong Ming to figure out what was at stake.

"I'm in trouble!"

Even though Chen Shu had always been bold, the two black-clothed people in front of him both had eighth-order wind system cultivation, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was not half a star.

"There is no chance of winning!" Chen Shu kept calculating and muttering in his heart, "The ghost car is seriously injured, I don't know how long she can last, I have to treat her as soon as possible, how can I delay time with these people?"

He muttered in his heart, but his eyes kept scouting his surroundings, trying to escape with the help of the terrain.

The place where Chen Shu was located was located in a high ground in the north of the inner city, and further north was the most well-preserved wood academy in this brawl, and to the southwest was an ocean, with a sea of fire and thunderstorms in the distance, which was obviously not a good place to escape.

The two black-clothed mages were obviously quite experienced in combat, and they coincidentally blocked the north where Chen Shu was most likely to escape.

Silent shot.

I have to admit that they are quite satisfactory opponents to Chen Shu, and the previous opponents, whether it is the old man in the red robe, Mei Lin, Chen Mo, or Sikong Haoyue, who sympathizes with each other, have too many words.

These two men in black were simply a clear stream among the opponents, which made Chen Shu happy.

"It's a pity. ”

Chen Shu glanced at the two of them regretfully, kicked the ground under his feet, and jumped into the ocean behind him in a backward posture.

"Bye bye, I can't beat it, I won't play!"

Puff -

Falling into the water, he took out the water-repellent beads and ran wildly in the water in the direction away from the black-clothed mage.

The two black-clothed mages reacted extremely quickly, and almost at the same time as Chen Shu jumped up, the two of them also took out the water beads, and with the momentum of the attack, they almost fell into the water with Chen Shu.

Their names are "Shadows", and they are the top guards beside Sikong Ming, and it is their duty to carry out tasks.

As long as Sikong Ming wants to kill Chen Shu, let alone escape into the water, even if Chen Shu escapes to the moon, they will bring a ladder and pull Chen Shu down.

Therefore, watching Shadow jump into the water, Sikong Haoyue's heart is still stable, even if Chen Shu is a little smart, he is by no means Shadow's opponent.

However, a few minutes later, the shadow surfaced.

Chen Shu...... Gone. ”

"What?" Sikong Haoyue was shocked, and even the well-informed Sikong Ming showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, he was not far in front of us, but he suddenly disappeared. ”
