78See Cai'er again
The war is over, but the days are far from peaceful, when the bloodshed on the battlefield stops, people's hearts begin to drip blood, and the bitter battle turns a hundred miles outside of Carlin into a huge battlefield, where countless bones are piled up waiting to be buried, and it is often this time that the cruelty of war can be best shown. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sheng Xuan had already seen enough of this, so he had been hiding in the Carlin Academy for the past few days, and he would go to the tavern if he had nothing to do, at this time he was already the owner of the tavern, and the people after the war really needed a little alcohol to relieve their sadness.
On this day, Sheng Xuan was sitting behind the counter drinking wine while chatting with a few old customers in the tavern, when someone suddenly walked in and said to him, "Boss Ye, someone is looking for you." Hearing this, he hurried to have someone take care of it, and he ran out of the store.
Seeing a few guards standing outside, he couldn't help but be stunned, "May I ask what is the matter?" "You are Ye Shengxuan?" "Exactly." "Someone wants to see you, come with us." Sheng Xuan's face couldn't help but sink, why are these guards so stinky, can't they say it well? couldn't help asking, "I don't know who wants to see me?" The guards looked at it mysteriously, which couldn't help but make him even more strange, and he also raised his head, but only saw the blue sky and white clouds, "What a beautiful sky." β
The guards took Sheng Xuan all the way into the palace, this is the first time to enter here, he can't help but be very novel, but also feel the unique momentum of the Dugu royal family, Nanming's palace is heavily guarded but inevitably looks stingy, although the palace of Sanmiao is exquisite but less majestic, only this lonely bamboo palace, which makes people suddenly have a sense of solemnity at first sight.
Entering a spacious room, the first thing that came into view was a row of huge bookcases, such a large number of books Sheng Xuan was the first time he had seen it, the guard quietly led him through the row of bookcases, and then respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we brought the person you want to see." β
Hearing this, Dugu Feng raised his head, and then waved his hand lightly, "You guys go down." "This γγγ" Dugu Feng waved his hand lightly again, but the action was extremely majestic, the guards didn't dare to say another word, respectfully saluted a standard military salute, and then quickly walked out of the room.
Dugu Feng glanced at Shengxuan up and down, and then pointed to the side, "Please sit down." Sheng Xuan was not polite, pulled over the chair next to him and sat down on the opposite side.
"I would like to thank you in advance for saving my imperial uncle on the battlefield a few days ago, and for stabilizing the battle in the battle of the Blue Shield River, allowing us to achieve the final victory. Sheng Xuan was very disappreciative when he heard this, and didn't say anything, Dugu Feng paused for a while and continued, "In these two things, I saw your personality, and more importantly, your ability, I once heard Helian Zan mention you, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, this is my mistake, I shouldn't let Helian Zan arrange for the Iron Commander to meet you, but I should meet you in person, but I think it's not too late for us to meet now, I appreciate you, so I want you to help me do things, I don't know what you think?"
These simple words made people sound very comfortable, I didn't expect a king to be so approachable, and it also made Sheng Xuan deeply feel that Dugu Feng was extraordinary, if it was another person, he would definitely kowtow immediately to thank him, but Sheng Xuan shook his head gently, "Your Majesty, I thank you very much for your appreciation of me, but I'm sorry, I have made up my mind to return to Nanming, that is my home, if I am still a little useful, I want to go back to my hometown and do something for the people there." β
Hearing such an answer, Dugu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't expect the little guy in front of him to refuse himself so simply, and at this moment he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then someone outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Chun Yuye, Sima Jie, Huangfu Yixin and a group of family members have been sorted out, and Helian Zan's charges have also been sorted out, and several people have confessed to show His Majesty the holy ruling." β
As soon as he heard this, Sheng Xuan's heart suddenly tightened, his subordinates were those three people, and among the ten thousand armies that day, didn't Dugu Feng pardon them?
Dugu Feng glanced at Sheng Xuan, and then shouted out, "Take it in." Suddenly, the door was gently opened, and a civil official quickly walked over with a stack of documents in his hands respectfully and put it on the table, and then quickly retreated with a gentle salute.
Dugu Feng gently opened those documents, and then asked Sheng Xuan while reading them, "Young man, if it were you, what would you do with these people?" Sheng Xuan thought for a while and said, "The temptation of fame and fortune in life is essential, and it is inevitable that there will be a moment of confusion, since it can be changed, it is also a great good." β
Dugu Feng laughed, "You are still too naΓ―ve, what people cherish the most is nothing more than life, what choice can they have under the defeat at that time? But if you let them go today, it is hard to guarantee that he will get worse in the future." As he spoke, the red pen on the desk quickly crossed out the names of the three people.
Then he picked up Helian Zan's information again, and couldn't help but sigh, "My nephew is actually a rare talent, whether it is from planning or execution, it is a pity, but it's a pity that γγγ" Dugu Feng sighed and hesitated for a while or put a cross on it.
For Helian Zan, Sheng Xuan has very complicated feelings, but gradually he also forgave him for some of his previous practices, after all, at that time, each was his master, and in the face of the powerful Guzhu, he believed that it was not too much to use any means, but the only thing that could not make Sheng Xuan relieved was Bale.
Sheng Xuan was thinking about the past alone, and Dugu Feng was dealing with those documents at a rapid pace, the three major families involved no less than a thousand people, looking at the long list, and the crimes listed behind, Dugu Feng did not hesitate to kill those who should be killed, and those who were forced to participate in it were also sentenced by him to cut down their posts and fill the army, and finally dealt with all of them, he dropped the red pen in his hand, and at this time his fingers were already stained with red ink, as if it was the blood donation of those who hooked up.
Dugu Feng looked at Sheng Xuan, who was still asleep, and then coughed lightly, "Hmm, young man, don't you really think about helping me?" With your current strength, although you can't catch up with the Iron Commander, your other abilities are too much better than him, and you are an extremely trustworthy person, so I originally planned to hand over this Wing City Commander position to you, I hope you can still seriously consider it before making a decision." β
Sheng Xuan still shook his head firmly, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your attention, but I really don't want to be in that position, I just want to return to Nanming right now, so γγγγ" Before he finished speaking, Dugu Feng had already sighed, "Alas, why can't talents always be used by me?"
In fact, just let people take the execution of the three major families and others, it was Dugu Feng who specially arranged it, just to test him through this matter, to see how he decided on such a thing, and Sheng Xuan's performance made him very satisfied, he found that this young man has no ambition, and he is very affectionate, even if he really does not use it for himself, he will not become a threat to himself in the future, otherwise I am afraid that it will be really difficult for Sheng Xuan to get out of this palace.
Hearing that he was going to reward himself, Sheng Xuan smiled slightly, and was about to say no, but immediately changed his mind, and said, "Your Majesty rewards me don't want it, but I have a request that Your Majesty can grant." "Oh, what a request? But it doesn't hurt. "I'd like to meet Herenzan. β
Dugu Feng frowned, looked Sheng Xuan up and down with his eyes, savoring the meaning of this sentence, as if he wanted to see him through, Sheng Xuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I used to have a brotherly relationship with Helian Zan, and the reason why I want to see him is because I think about this friendship." β
Dugu Feng's brows finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile, "You little guy really attaches great importance to righteousness, do you know that Helian Zanke once wanted to kill you, don't you hate him at all?"
"Actually, I don't have to hate him, that's his choice, but I can't forget his good for me. Dugu Feng nodded with satisfaction, "I promise you to see him, but not now, but tomorrow, tomorrow Helian Zan will be executed on the other side of the Blue Shield River, and I will give you a little time to say goodbye to him at that time." Sheng Xuan got up and bowed to Dugu Feng, "Your Majesty." β
Dugu Feng asked curiously, "Is this what you are asking for?" "Exactly, Your Majesty has already fulfilled my request, and I dare not have any other covetousness, so I please leave." Saying that, he took a step back, Dugu Feng wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything, and finally waved his hand unwillingly, "Okay, you go down." β
Looking at Sheng Xuan's back, Dugu Feng couldn't help but secretly say, "This little guy is too strange, I want to make him the commander, he doesn't agree, and I don't want to reward him, but I just want to see Helian Zan, and promised him to meet with the thief before the execution, and actually got up to thank him, this son is really not an ordinary person, maybe I really did something wrong today and let go of a terrible tiger." β
In the early morning of the next day, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and the sky was dark, and there was no intention of stopping until noon, such weather must indicate a bloody stage, and it was today that a new ghost was added to the banks of the Blue Shield River.
Sheng Xuan got up early and went to the tavern to get a jar of fine wine, and then slowly walked to the other side of the Blue Shield River with the wine jar in his hand.
The execution table was full of guards, but no one came to see Helian Zan's way, which made this execution site look even more desolate, thinking that he was also a powerful figure in the Carlin business community back then, but now that he has become a death row prisoner, none of those former partners and friends have come to see him off, and now they are afraid to avoid it, for fear that they have something to do with this traitor, how can they still come here? Maybe this is the way this is the world.
Suddenly, the sound of shackles came from far and near, and through the thick wind and sand, Shengxuan saw a team of guards escorting a person slowly, and it could be seen from the difficult steps of this person that he had been seriously injured, but the shaky pace still showed a trace of perseverance.
Finally the man walked in front of Sheng Xuan, the two of them collided and couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, only to see that Helian Zan at this time was already covered with scars, the most serious thing was the knife in the chest and the deep sword on the leg, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but take two steps forward and shouted, "Big brother!" This voice made Helian Zan couldn't help but be excited, "You γγγ meγγγ I don't deserve to be your big brother." β
Sheng Xuan slowly put down the wine jar, then took the wine bowl full of poured a bowl of wine, and brought it to Helian Zan, "In my hometown, when someone travels far away, relatives will send Zhuangxing wine, and today the younger brother specially came to make a grand trip for the eldest brother." β
Looking at the bowl of wine in front of him, Helian couldn't help but choke up a little, "Brother, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Bale, if you can see him one day, I hope to apologize to him for me, I only owe you in the next life." As he spoke, he was about to walk up to the execution platform, but Sheng Xuan stopped him one step at a time, "Please drink this cup with your eldest brother." β
Looking at Sheng Xuan's sincere gaze, Helian Zan couldn't help but burst into tears, trembling and picking up the bowl of wine, and then tilted his head and poured it down, and suddenly a warm current poured out of his body, which suddenly made him feel a fluttering, and the wounds on his body were no longer so painful.
Helian Zan felt the changes in his body, and couldn't help but blame himself even more, his lips trembled for a long time without saying a word, and finally threw the wine bowl to the side, squeezing out two words from between his teeth, "Thank you!"
Watching him walk up to the execution platform step by step, Sheng Xuan shouted loudly, "Big brother go all the way!" This sentence made him tremble again, and he couldn't help but stop, and the guards in charge of guarding him were not in a hurry to drive him away, and after a long pause, Helian Zan finally spoke, "Brother Shengxuan, you are a good brother who is righteous, but I have done so many things that can't stand my brother, and I am to blame for today's end." Sheng Xuan smiled, "Everything will pass, I believe that the eldest brother was also involuntary at that time, I never blamed you, I will always remember the kindness you used to treat me, and I also learned a lot from you." β
These words really moved Helian Zan, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little rosy, "I'm really glad to have you to see me off for the last time today, so I want to say a word to you here." "Big brother, please speak. "From the time you and I met to the present, you have always given me the impression of a genius, not only fighting spirit and magic cultivation, but also in the decision-making is also very methodical, the most rare thing is that the breath on your body, will attract many people to do things for you, unlike me always have to play some tricks, but I always feel as if you are deliberately avoiding something, dare not contact too much with people, in this troubled times, I hope you can be more decisive in the future, don't miss what you deserve." β
After saying that, Helian Zan strode onto the execution platform, waiting for him would be the cold and shining butcher's knife, and Sheng Xuan was savoring those words carefully, and felt that he really seemed to be deliberately evading some responsibility, but why was this? He couldn't figure it out for a while.
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the distance, slowly walking towards the execution ground, although they could not see clearly through the wind and sand, they could still be distinguished from the general outline, they should be two children, the guards guarding the execution ground couldn't help shouting, "The execution ground is heavy, and the idle people are waiting to retreat!" But the two figures did not have the slightest intention of staying.
Suddenly one figure disappeared in a flash, followed by another and stopped, and the guards saw her standing still, so they paid no more attention, and for a long time the other figure reappeared, holding a short sword in his hand, which was rusty as if it were a piece of scrap metal, but when he looked closely, he found that it was not any metal.
The figure looked at the short sword carefully, and then swallowed it with one mouth, while the other figure couldn't help but sneer, "Ling'er, don't eat indiscriminately." The figure flattened its mouth and swallowed, followed by a chirping laugh.
This person is none other than the little princess Phantom Cai'er, when she returned to the valley that day, she began to step up the refining of the soul Gu left by the corpse witch, originally thought that the soul Gu contained little energy left, but she didn't expect the soul power contained in it to be so powerful, that pure energy actually took her several months before she was finally completely devoured by her own soul Gu to complete, and at this moment her own soul Gu has also completed three evolutions, the almost substantial body is only slightly shorter than her, and the appearance is strikingly similar to her, not only that, the soul Gu also produced a trace of wisdom, although she can't speak yet, but it can express its mood through some simple expressions, and she named it Ling'er.
After the successful evolution of the soul Gu, due to the relationship between the souls, the power of her soul has also been greatly strengthened, so the witchcraft has also been more sophisticated, until this moment she felt the vastness of witchcraft, and opened the notes of the corpse witch from the new, which made her gain a lot, which also allowed her to really touch the most mysterious way of witchcraft, maybe these are the essence of witchcraft, but now the wizard of Sanmiao has obviously discarded, instead pursuing some fancy and quick things to improve herself, after discovering these, her attitude has also changed greatly, and the witchcraft that she didn't like to practice before was re-cultivated by her, from which she gained the real terrifying power of witchcraftAlthough a lot of witchcraft is not yet proficient, it has finally put her on the right path.
Now Ling'er is not only a hundred times stronger than before, but also can take her to teleport, and her gossamer blade has also been greatly improved because of her strong soul power, and what makes her most pleased is that now she can use some small enchantments with telekinesis to seal a master, although she can't do it, but it can temporarily seal the opponent's limb meridians, giving her more certainty.
At this moment, Yunshan City has been broken by the Jing Barbarian army, and in order to take down the lonely bamboo in one fell swoop, Guli did not set up a garrison there, so it is equivalent to an empty city, Cai'er hurriedly packed her bags, and after preparing everything, she immediately took out the Gu worm to determine Shengxuan's location, but just took out the Gu worm but there was a trace of hesitation, and then cursed herself with hatred in her heart, why can't she always make up her mind about this father-killing enemy?
She finally came, and now she was approaching the execution platform step by step, because Ling'er had already shown an impulse, which let her know that Shengxuan must be in front, so she walked straight towards the execution platform.
When the guards saw her walking in step by step, they immediately became nervous, and couldn't stop shouting, "The torture platform is heavy and you can't get close, and if you get closer, you will release arrows." But these words obviously did not stop the other party's footsteps, and the guards could not help but pick up their swords and guns and prepare for battle, and the archers had already fastened their feathered arrows to their strings, and the slightest order would turn them into hedgehogs.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, causing everyone's eyes to squint, and when the wind passed, they found that the two figures had disappeared in front of their eyes.
Sheng Xuan's mood at this time was very sad, after all, it was a person he respected who was about to be executed, and before the butcher knife on the torture table fell, he suddenly had an alarm, a heavy murderous aura came from behind, and he couldn't help but turn around in a hurry, just the wind just now made him dare not open his eyes, and after the wind, two figures had appeared in front of him, and the executioner was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the two, and slowly put down the butcher's knife, Sheng Xuan took a closer look, and the familiar face suddenly made him exclaim "Cai'er!".
