Chapter 619
The conversation seemed to be obviously in a strange state, how weird it was, just look at Ye Shengtian's expression. He was laughing, but how much of this smile came from sincerity was debatable, and for a moment, Han Chuang even felt that this smile was like a burning cocktail.
"Don't worry too much, Lu Boxian doesn't like this son. Ye Shengtian said.
It sounded like a sentence deliberately spoken to comfort Han Chuang, abrupt and unexpected.
"I know. Han Chuang smiled and said, "I met Lu Xiang'er." ”
"Lu Xiang'er?" Ye Shengtian frowned, and he could see that he knew this woman, or at least heard her name. It is not surprising that a man has heard the name of a woman, especially a beautiful woman, who is always famous, but if combined with her identity as the illegitimate daughter of the royal family, it is a little incredible, after all, this kind of thing, in general, is a secret of the royal family.
The wrinkles on Ye Shengtian's face were clustered together, like a bun full of folds.
"She's not an easy person to work with. ”
"I know. ”
"What did she tell you?"
"Just something reassuring to me. Han Chuang waved his hand, looking a little careless, but he said it very seriously. "It sounds like he has something to do with Lu Jingzong. ”
Ye Shengtian showed a shocked expression, "You also know Lu Jingzong?"
Han Chuang glanced at Ye Shengtian in surprise, obviously surprised that Ye Shengtian called him by his name. In most kingdoms, the founding emperor is particularly obedient, not to mention that Ye Shengtian is originally a person in the military world, although he may not be able to break ground side by side with Lu Jingzong, but there will be some worship of the predecessors by some juniors.
From his expression, Han Chuang couldn't see any admiration, but was faintly hostile.
"What's wrong with this Lu Jingzong?" he asked cautiously, trying to make the topic transition smoothly in a soothing tone, but obviously, he underestimated Lu Jingzong's not lofty status in Ye Shengtian's heart.
"He's a villain!"
This was the first time Han Chuang had seen a naked mockery on Ye Shengtian's face, yes, it was a naked and undisguised mockery.
"Beware of the ears on the wall. Han Chuang made a silent gesture.
Ye Shengtian sneered: "Don't worry, even if Lu Jingzong knows, he won't dare to touch me." His arrogant expression easily reminded people of those people with deep backgrounds, but in fact, Han Chuang knew that he didn't have many deep backgrounds, so he didn't understand where this arrogance came from.
But as a friend, Han Chuang obviously wouldn't interrupt the moment when a friend showed his self-spirit, and after a while, he spoke:
"Lu Xiang'er may be standing behind Lu Jingzong. ”
"Not bad. Ye Shengtian didn't look surprised, "Behind Lu Xiang'er is indeed the old guy from Lu Jingzong." His tone became more and more unkind, and Han Chuang could see a kind of anger with love in this uncertain face, like a volcano buried under a glacier that was about to erupt.
He couldn't help but regret a little, feeling that he shouldn't have talked about this person at this time and place, and at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.
Father Gu and Gu Xi'er were also attracted and looked at the door in a daze.
A guard appeared, if it was just an ordinary guard, even if he appeared out of place, it would not cause too many people here to pay too much attention, but this was a blood-stained guard.
Not only was his face covered in blood, but Han Chuang also noticed that he had suffered a lot of injuries, and if he was not treated in time, he might leave sequelae.
"Han Bo, what's wrong with you coming back?" Ye Shengtian called out the name of the person who came.
Han Bo is just an ordinary name in Canglan City, compared to those resounding names in Canglan City, it can be regarded as a small wave at most. But Han Chuang knew that this Han Bo was famous in Yunying.
Ye Shengtian's personal guard, if this identity is not enough, then eat more to thwart the enemy's assassination of Ye Shengtian, and save Ye Shengtian's life enough to make him a household name in the cloud camp.
Ye Shengtian understood the importance of Niu Jin, so he specially advised Han Bo to be by Niu Jin's side and protect him closely.
Now that he came back alone and was seriously injured, Ye Shengtian's heart suddenly tightened, like a tight cow tendon, which could break at any time.
With a pop, Han Bo knelt on the ground, and before everyone could speak, he shouted:
"Dashuai, his subordinates have a heavy trust. Niu Jin has been robbed!"
In a word, Ye Shengtian is like falling into an ice cave.
In the silent and uninhabited deep alley, a white figure seemed so abrupt. That's Niu in, Niu Jin is running, and it's Niu Jin who is running. Niu Jin was running at a speed that had never appeared on him before, which was beyond his limit, and it was impossible to maintain it for a long time, but he kept running at this speed for two full hours.
In times of crisis, it can always stimulate people's potential, and Niu Jin at this moment has stimulated his potential, and there is a team of guards to delay time for him, but his opponent is still with him.
He couldn't see the person, he couldn't feel the person's presence, but he knew that he was not far from him, and he was also running.
He didn't use all his strength, but waited quietly like a cat and mouse to run out of energy. He had to subdue himself with the least amount of strength. He is a demon, a demon that lurks in the shadows, and no one escapes his pursuit.
Niu Jin tried, and even sacrificed a team of guards for this, but the result was still the same, he couldn't escape.
Whether it was strength or will, it was being wiped out little by little, and he seemed to hear the other party's hideous laughter, as if it was echoing in his ears.
People who have not experienced it for themselves will never understand this feeling of fear, as if the whole body is shrouded in the shadow of the other person, there is no light, no light can be seen, and there is no hope of escape.
Niu Jin is still moving forward, running, but his steps are inevitably sluggish, and every step is like trekking in the mire.
He was exhausted, and if it weren't for that pitiful will to support him, he would have fallen.
(No, I'm going to insist, I can't let those people die in vain.) )
Suddenly, there was a light flickering ahead, it was the light of a lantern, the light of a white lantern. The white lantern is generally used for funeral, that is, it is a kind of light for the dead, but even if it is the light of the dead, it also gives hope to the cow.
He mustered up the last of his strength and ran in the direction of the light.
He stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and could only move forward with his hands and feet, his hands were worn through the skin, and the raised stones on the ground cut through the skin of his palms, and he was dripping with blood.
The sand was constantly seeping into the wound, and the pain numbed him, but he did not stop in the slightest and continued to move forward. He knew that if he didn't move forward, he would only die.
No one wants to die, even if it's just an illegitimate child of General Niu's mansion, he doesn't want to die.
Try your best, there is no other way to survive.
But at this moment, the light in front of him was suddenly obscured by a figure, a familiar and dangerous figure.
Niu Jin will not forget, it is this figure, sliding from the air, strangled the three guards in an instant, Gen will not forget, the remaining guards have no resistance in front of him, and the next moment they will fall to the ground at the same time.
There was only one wound on everyone's body, a small wound on the neck, at first it was just an insignificant line of blood, which made people think that it was no big deal, until the blood gushed out like a spring, and Niu Jin realized that these guards were going to die.
Memories were like a cold hand, encroaching on his mind, and instantly waking him up.
He stopped, not about to run. He knew that even if he moved forward, it would be useless, and this man in the black cloak would never let himself escape.
It was just a game of cat and mouse, and now he's ready to close the net.
What a sad thing, but Niu Jin has no room for resistance, and can only be at the mercy of the other party.
He stared coldly at the moan, and his voice came out of the slit in his throat: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" ”
The man stepped forward, revealing his face, a middle-aged man's face, handsome, even handsome, with a soft and perfect arc of the face, revealing a feminine charm.
He smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Niu Gongzi, I don't like to kill you." ”
