Chapter 415: Breaking Away
The so-called life is made up of one choice after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since there is a choice, there will inevitably be giving up, so life is also constantly giving up. Giving up is the cost of choice. When the cost exceeds the benefit, it is called the cost of choice. A large part of the cost of this kind of thing takes time to test!
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as time - there is no turning back in life, and choices cannot be made again. Therefore, when people really find that they have made a wrong choice and paid an unbearable price, they will often use feelings such as "if" and "do it all over again" to prove how annoyed, regretful, and sad they are in their hearts...... But none of this can be undone except to prove how wrong they were.
The room was silent, only the occasional crackling sound of the wick, and time passed bit by bit, and Nalan Xue's life was passing bit by bit.
Yue Qing Soul had to make a choice, compared to the many major decisions he had made, the things in front of him were actually nothing. However, such a decision made his heart very entangled.
"It seems that there is really something wrong with my state of mind!" Yue Qingsoul muttered to himself, no one listened, he was just talking to himself.
Yue Qingsoul smiled self-deprecatingly, this may also be a sign of weakness.
He suddenly flicked his fingers on the wick, and saw that the light dimmed, and then burst out beautiful lights, and they became bright again. The beautiful lanterns fell on the table, but turned into small black dots, lost their scorching temperature, and revealed meaningless ugly ashes.
At this moment, the wick of ashes has been removed, and the light is getting brighter and brighter.
"Maybe the flaws in my state of mind are the ashes that accumulate in my heart, those feelings that seem beautiful but are meaningless! Blood, anger, pity, and promise, starting from the ancient temple, from the moment the bone spear pierced into the body, I became a coward who was swayed by feelings...... It's time to change that!"
Yue Qingsoul looked at Nalan Xue, who was full of anger, but a trace of unbearability flashed in her heart. He suddenly gave himself a crisp and loud slap, and immediately left five finger prints on his cheeks, he gritted his teeth and said: "Just once, for the last time, not for example!"
He immediately placed his palm on Nalan Xue's vest, and a pure internal force was sent out, protecting Nalan Xue's heart.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Yue Qingsoul frowned and said, "Come in!"
It was the shopkeeper of the inn who came, he shrank his head and carefully pushed the door open: "My lord...... Deacon Lu asked me to invite you over and say that the matter you want to investigate has been revealed!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes as if inadvertently, and saw the silver-haired girl lying on the table, and the young adult's cheeks ...... There was still a bright red palm print, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly lowered his eyes.
Yue Qingsoul also realized something, and quietly withdrew his palm, rubbed his cheek vigorously, and soon, the palm print disappeared.
Then, he said with a dignified face: "I know, you go down first! Remember to arrange for two careful women to come over and take good care of this girl for me! Remember, you must be trustworthy yourself!"
The shopkeeper owes a debt, answers yes, and hurriedly retreats and closes the door. He walked a dozen steps away in a panic before letting out a long breath.
Just now, he heard that slap vividly, thinking of everything he saw in the room, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
What is this all called? He only felt that the image of the great and wise Lord Yueqing Soul in his heart collapsed in an instant. What's wrong, I have to make the overlord bow hard, not to mention the slap, and beat such a beautiful girl unconscious, I feel distressed when I think about it!
The shopkeeper wiped a handful of cold sweat, calmed down his nervousness, and secretly swore that from now on, he would try his best to avoid meeting with Lord Yueqing Soul, so as not to be killed and killed!
......
In the room, Nalan Xue was still unconscious, and it was a hopeless injury to cut off her meridians. For practitioners, the meridians flow into the inner breath of the river, and once the meridians are broken, it will be like a broken river, and the internal breath will not flow smoothly, and the result is that the river will burst its banks, and the turbulent internal breath will wreak havoc on the whole body, destroying the body's functions.
Fortunately, the Gu clan has never emphasized the cultivation of meridians, and Nalan Xue's internal breath is even more mediocre, so that she can keep the last trace of vitality.
Yue Qing Soul's method was simple and rude, that is, he used his pure internal strength to forcibly protect Nalan Xue's heart to ensure that the raging internal breath would not hurt the roots. It's like building a strong levee in the center of a raging flood, no matter how dilapidated it is outside, to make sure that nothing is lost!
To put it bluntly, this is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, even if Nalan Xue's life is saved, not to mention the loss of martial arts, it is difficult to say whether he can wake up and turn around!
However, Yue Qing's soul has no intention of waking up Nalan Xue, maybe she will continue to be in a coma, and she will remain incognito from then on, making everyone think that she is dead.
......
In a dark room of the inn, Lu Yan waited anxiously, and suddenly, his face was happy, and he finally came!
Yue Qingsoul nodded at Lu Yan, who stepped forward to salute, and both of them tacitly did not speak.
As the main manager of the Hidden God Industry, Yue Qing Soul is naturally no stranger to such hints. Among all the industries of the hidden gods, green houses, gambling houses, and inns have always been the main sources of intelligence.
Unlike the secret agent institute, which focuses on going deep into the center to spy on intelligence, the hidden god pays more attention to the collection of civilian information.
These industries belonging to the hidden gods will collect commercial or military and political information after a preliminary sorting, and then hand it over to the local steward for further cleaning, reporting layer by layer, and finally handing it over to the regional deacon. The deacons will send information that may have an impact on the overall situation to the presbyterian council and senior management, and ultimately provide the basis for decision-making on the business and political aspects of the hidden gods.
Like the darkroom in front of you, it has many holes in its walls, and the holes are inscribed with text indicating the location of the surveillance. In addition to the holes, there are copper pipes for sound monitoring.
At this moment, there were five or six people in the dark room facing the hole in the wall, and they were writing and drawing without stopping while observing, and the whole process was silent. Once they were done, someone took the paper and handed it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan already had a thick stack of papers in his hand, he took out a few copies from the papers, walked to Yue Qingsoul's face and respectfully handed them over.
Yue Qingsoul took it and saw that the top was a simple drawing, which was a room, and there were several people sitting in the room, and the portraits of these characters were vivid and expressive.
Yue Qingsoul nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Lu Yan, and exited the dark room, and Lu Yan immediately followed.
Yue Qingsoul pointed to a person on the sketch map: "This person is called Nameless, he is the shadow guard next to the Lord of Chiba of the Human Empire, I have seen the other party in Wolf City, you find out the information related to him." β
Lu Yan glanced at the nameless portrait, quickly pulled out a few copies from a stack of papers, and said, "My lord, this person is one of the masterminds behind the murder by the Tahe River. He mainly mentioned two things, the first is that he already knew that the woman killed by the Tahe River was not Nalan Xue, and as for the true identity of the dead woman, he had always kept it secret and never mentioned it!
The second thing, this nameless shadow guard asked the secret spy institute to continue to track down Nalan Xue's whereabouts, by the way, this person is the ...... of the secret spy institute" Lu Yan quickly flipped through the paper in his hand, and pulled out a portrait and said: "My lord, please look, this painting is clearer, this is the person in charge of the secret spy institute, he is the accomplice of the Tahe murder!"
Yue Qing's soul eyes flashed: "How can you see it?"
Lu Yan pointed to a place in the painting and said, "My lord, please take a closer look, what this person is holding in his hand is a jade butterfly, and this jade butterfly was obtained from the dead woman by the Tahe River." However, this person and the nameless man seem to have a disagreement on their next actions, and they do not seem to agree to continue to track down Nalan Xue's whereabouts. It's a pity that the two of them are extremely cautious when arguing, not only their voices are very low, but they are also vague, and it is difficult to get accurate information!"
Yue Qingsoul nodded and said approvingly: "Very good, it's enough!"
Lu Yan's face was overjoyed, his hard work was finally not in vain, it was not easy to be recognized by this adult!
Yue Qingsoul said with a heavy face: "From now on, you let the people here pack up and be ready to evacuate at any time." Remember, don't leave a trail behind, and don't let anyone discover that this inn is the property of the hidden gods. β
Lu Yan was stunned and said, "My lord, may I ask...... Why?"
Yue Qing Soul said: "The identity of the woman who died by the Tahe River today is extremely sensitive, she is the new owner of the Secret Spy Academy, and the only heir chosen by Obeye Oldorf. If your information just now is not wrong, it means that the secret agent and the human royal family have killed their own masters! And these people are in our inn, and the city gate is on fire, and it will hurt the pond fish!"
Lu Yan's whole body shook, and the paper in his hand almost fell to the ground. The new owner of the secret spy institute, a behemoth like a dark beast, was actually killed by his own people? This is tantamount to rebellion!
He said in a trembling voice, "My lord, what are you talking about...... Is that the only Lord Jin who can take out the Divine Book from Bruda City?"
Yue Qingsoul nodded: "It seems that Elder Jin also told you about this matter-that's right, the dead woman is what you said about Lord Jin!"
Lu Yan finally understood why Yue Qingsoul was so nervous, the owner of the secret spy house was dead, and once the news spread, it would definitely set off a terrifying bloody storm. Unlike the Hidden God, the owner of the Secret Agent is the true Dark King, and her power is not inferior to that of the Emperor of the Empire.
After all, the emperor still has to take care of the people's will, but the dark king can do whatever it takes to achieve the end. Next, whether it is the internal struggle of the secret spy institute or the struggle for power, it is destined to be a river of blood. It's almost impossible for anyone to roll up and get out of the way.
Yueqing Soul said: "Although the strength of the secret spy academy has been damaged, but the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff, this place will become a place of right and wrong before dawn, and I will leave as soon as possible!"
Remember, when it is decided, whether it is Bach or Merlin, with our strength in the northwest, we can't provoke them, not to mention that there is a human royal family mixed inβ"
Although Lu Yan was a little reluctant, he still had self-knowledge, and the power of the Hidden God in the Human Empire had also suffered heavy losses, and when Elder Jin gave him the order, he had repeatedly warned him that everything should be done according to his ability!
The two men had a good plan and went their separate ways.
Yue Qingsoul came to the front of the room and was about to push open the door, but he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and it was Lu Yan who had just separated.
Yue Qing's soul tightened in his heart, only to hear Lu Yan whisper urgently: "My lord, it's not good, hell!"
Seeing the other party's anxious look, Yue Qingsoul couldn't help frowning: "Deacon Lu, please be careful!"
Lu Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, there is a woman who looks very much like Nalan Xue in that courtyard, but unfortunately, she disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
Yue Qing was shocked: "You mean....... The woman who was killed?"
Lu Yan was stunned: "Yes, there should be no one else except that woman-isn't Young Master Nalan here with you?"
Although the two were sure that no one would hear the conversation, they still tried to avoid directly mentioning Hu Lanjin's name.
Yue Qingsoul suddenly pushed open the door and walked in quickly, but she was stunned for a moment, only to see two women lying on the ground who were responsible for taking care of Nalan Xue, and Nalan Xue had already disappeared.
Lu Yan touched the necks of the two women and said, "It's just that I fainted, the other party didn't kill me!" Could it be that the young master of Nalan left by himself, and could it be her who appeared in the courtyard just now?"
Yue Qing's soul frowned: "Impossible, Nalan Xue is seriously injured and can't leave by herself, let alone have the ability to knock these two people out!" However, the person who took Nalan Xue should have no intention of going against us, she won't be in danger!"
Lu Yan nodded and asked, "My lord, what now?"
Yue Qingsoul muttered: "Act according to the original plan, remember, don't drag the mud and water, even if you burn down the entire inn, don't have the slightest involvement in this matter...... It seems that we have misestimated the complexity of this matter--" He thought for a moment and said flatly: "Go ahead, act immediately! After getting out, wait and see what happens, believing that the truth will soon come out!"
