Chapter VI: The Serious Consequences of Mistaken Oaths
In the morning, Liuyun walked out of the room with a tired face.
After thinking about it all night, although he couldn't think of a good solution, he understood one thing: the wound of the soul can only be healed with his heart. Even if Shui Ling'er doesn't want any compensation from him, he will do his best. "His" mistakes can never be made up, and Liuyun only wants peace of mind.
Walking to the martial arts arena and seeing the guards in the morning exercise, a thought flashed in Liuyun's heart.
"Hippo, come here. β
"Young Master, what are your orders?" Hibo wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran over.
"From today onwards, you will all eat steamed buns for breakfast. Liuyun smiled evilly.
"It's ......," Hippo suspects he misheard.
"Moreover, this bun must be bought at that Shui Ling'er's shop on the street. Don't let her know you're from the Cade family. After Liuyun finished speaking, he left, leaving behind a confused Hippo.
In his memoirs, Hippo later described those painful days as follows: "It was a time of unbearable recollection. From the moment someone sought the forgiveness of Miss Shui Ling'er, we had a long-term struggle with Baozi, so much so that we vomited when we saw Baozi later. β
In the days that followed, the two masked men sneaked into Shui Ling'er's home several times to treat Shui Ling'er's injured Shui Tian, and claimed that they were Xiaoqiang's distant relatives to thank the Shui family for taking care of Xiaoqiang.
At the same time, a young man with a face mask declared that Shui Ling'er's steamed bun shop was under his protection, and anyone who caused trouble in the shop would be severely punished. When a few young people who wanted to take advantage of it were blown up by the thunderbolt on the way home, their hair stood on end, and finally no one dared to harass Shui Ling'er in the store.
After Shui Tian's injury healed, Shui Ling'er chased Xiaoqiang all day long and asked who his relatives were, and she wanted to come to the door in person to thank her, poor Xiaoqiang was confused, and she didn't know why she suddenly had a few more relatives.
Liuyun thought that after doing these things, it would be of some help to her. But love didn't develop as he thought.
Some people who wanted to take advantage of Shui Ling'er but didn't succeed spread the rumor that Shui Ling'er was the lover of a certain big man, so that many people who originally sympathized with Shui Ling'er also pointed fingers behind her back.
The business of the steamed bun shop has become much colder, and Shui Ling'er, who is under greater pressure, is also emaciated day by day. Liuyun, who went to the steamed bun shop with a mask to eat breakfast, also noticed that every time he entered the store, there were people talking behind his back. When Shui Ling'er saw him, her smile was even more reluctant.
In desperation, Liuyun decided to meet her with her true face.
A few days later, when Liuyun appeared at the door of the steamed bun shop, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at the street: "Anyone who is curious about me and my relationship with Shui Ling'er, come over to me!"
"What are you doing?" Shui Ling'er, who came out of the store when she heard the sound, panicked and asked hurriedly.
Liuyun didn't speak, and after the people came around, he raised his hand and gently removed the mask on his face. You can't escape, so let's solve everything today, Liuyun thought to himself.
"It's you!" Shui Ling'er's face suddenly lost its blood, as if she saw the most terrifying person in the world, and her body was shaky.
Liuyun suddenly appeared at the door of the steamed bun shop, coupled with what happened during this time, which immediately caused a noisy discussion.
Looking at Shui Ling'er quietly, he read the hatred as deep as the sea in her eyes.
"You demon, I'm going to kill you!" Shui Ling'er suddenly rushed out of the store with a cry of grief, holding a dagger in her hand until she stabbed towards Liuyun. This dagger, after Liuyun insulted her, she has always carried it with her.
A little cold light is getting closer and closer, like the tongue of a serpent turned into hatred.
Looking at Shui Ling'er's white jade hand and dagger close at hand, a strange thought rose in Liuyun's heart: "Those hands should be held and played with by the people who love her." The murder weapon used to take the murder weapon is so spoiling the scenery!"
"I used to harvest a life with it, I really miss it!"
"In those hot days of the special combat team, I was a cruel instructor!"
"I'm a heroic warrior when I enjoy the thrill of death passing by!"
"But now, I'm a fucking villain, a rapist!"
"God, why don't you let a soldier die on the battlefield, but let me live with a bad name! Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, and I will go against the sky!"
At the moment when the dagger was about to pierce into his body, Liuyun raised his hand and grabbed the pair of white little hands like lightning.
The crowd of onlookers, after the initial exclamations, became very quiet. Xiaoqiang ran out of the store and stood beside Shui Ling'er, looking at Liuyun in horror.
"Water girl, I don't want to die like this. I'm alive, and maybe I can make some amends to you!" Looking at Shui Ling'er, who was bleak and weak, Liuyun said calmly.
Liuyun took the dagger with his right hand, and then waved it lightly towards his left hand, making a cut on his wrist, and blood suddenly gushed out.
Liuyun dropped the dagger, dipped his right index finger in blood, and quickly drew some strange symbols in the air.
"With blood as a guide, under the witness of the gods of heaven and earth, I make a sacred oath: I am willing to atone for my past mistakes!"
"Oh my God, that's a blood oath!" exclaimed from the crowd.
The Blood Oath, the oldest and most sacred oath in the Blue Moon Continent, is said to be only used by noble men, and once it is made and not fulfilled, it will fall into hell forever. Although no one knows whether this legend is true or not, as the most sacred oath on the mainland, no one dares to blaspheme.
After Liuyun finished reciting the oath, there was silence all around. Shui Ling'er raised her head and looked at him blankly with tearful eyes.
"Isn't it, just find an oath in that pile of broken books and make it so lethal?" Liuyun thought to himself as he looked at the crowd around him who were standing like clay sculptures.
Under the unimaginable intelligence, Liuyun happened to see this strange oath in the book, and then contacted the woman's ears are soft, and he likes to listen to such an oath, so he used it today. But he didn't expect that this blood oath would cause him even more trouble.
After Kaslo knew about this, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "On the Blue Moon Continent, when a man makes a blood oath to a woman, it means that he will spend his life to protect her, and even die for her. Under normal circumstances, only the most infatuated man will make a blood oath to the woman he loves. Of course, you were an accident. β
"It's getting more and more complicated. Liuyun regretted it in his heart, "In my previous life, how did I develop the bad habit of swearing......
Imperial capital, imperial palace.
"Is that blood oath real, Linglong?" Princess Xiangyu couldn't associate the sacred blood oath with Liuyun.
"Yes, princess. Linglong tilted her head and replied in thought.
"You girl, you should be clearer. The princess said coquettishly.
So, Linglong told the news in detail, and then quipped, "What's the matter, princess?
"Are you begging for a beating, Linglong?" Princess Xiangyu glanced at her, ignored her, and thought by herself.
"It's a good show, but I don't know how much of it is real. Well, for him, it may be a good thing to keep a girl alive and well. I just don't know if that girl will forgive him?"
"Blood oath, although this person is not talented, he can do something vigorous. So it is for evil, so it is for good. On the stage of the Empire, is he a clown, or is he really a character?"
Although Liuyun has nothing to do with her anymore, thinking of that blood oath, Princess Xiangyu still feels very uncomfortable in her heart, after all, that person was her fiancΓ©.
"Practice, practice, fucking size. Zi Wencheng sat on the ground and kicked the shield beside him away, "Lao Tzu, this soldier deserves to be a bag." Will you tell my son in the future that when I was a soldier, I followed the noble young master to bask in the sun in the countryside?"
"Haha, your son doesn't know where he is. Several of the surrounding guards laughed.
"Alright, stop whining. This is what the master has to do, and we have to do it with our hearts. Xibo walked over and patted Zi Wencheng on the shoulder.
"To be honest, in the past two years with the young master, we have all become garbage in the eyes of others. Even the people in the house looked at us with disdain. However, who is not a bloody man, just greedy for such a young master, what can he do? So, follow him, learn to do bad things to find stimulation, and find temporary pleasure to anesthetize himself. Zi Wencheng said in a deep voice, thinking of those days, a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, "On the way to Fort Ked, I caused trouble in the tavern and was chopped off by the young master, but I was very happy in my heart! Because I feel that the young master has changed, I am happy for this! Who knows, he just became not doing bad things, and he retired here with peace of mind." β
"Yes, I don't know when such a day will end. Captain, when will you go back to the imperial capital to talk to the master, let's go back to the army. If you go on like this, you will suffocate to death, and it is better to die on the battlefield. After listening to Zi Wencheng's words, Tie Lie also spoke up.
"yes, Captain, you've got to figure it out. β
"We can't go on like this forever!"
"Let's talk to the master!"
The team members couldn't help but gather around Hibo and said nonsense.
"I said brothers, let's not think about it so much for a while. Anyway, it's only been a few days since I arrived, so let's take it as a vacation. I'll tell you when I get a chance. β
Hippo empathized with the thoughts of the players, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only shake his head helplessly and persuade loudly.
Liuyun stood in a corner of the martial arts arena, looking at the guards gathered together, listening to their conversation, and fell into deep thought.
As a former soldier, he deeply experienced the pain of having nothing to do in the days when he sank after breaking up with his lover.
Death is not terrible at times, but it is terrible to live soberly and achieve nothing, only to watch the time of youth pass by little by your fingers. Even in the days when he was an instructor in the special combat team, he hoped that one day he would be able to go to the battlefield of blood and fire and write a glory of his own.
Someone once said that a long-term peace will make an army lose the value of its existence, and he feels that a long-term peace will make a soldier lose the course of life. Because, fighting, is the Dharma of the soldier's life.
"Uh-huh!" cleared his throat and walked over to the team.
Seeing Liuyun, the team members got up from the ground one after another, and stood in line under the leadership of Hibo, looking a little frightened, after all, it is an unforgivable thing to talk about the master behind his back.
Facing his own guards, Liuyun began his first speech in the Blue Moon Continent.
"Guys, I heard some of what you just said. Don't panic, I can understand your feelings. Before I left the Imperial Capital, I met a stranger who lifted the curse on me and taught me a lot of things that gave me a new life. Just now, I swore a blood oath to a girl I had hurt that I would spend my life atonement for the sins of the past. This incident made me understand a truth: those who come out to mix must be returned in the end. I know that in the past I had a bad reputation, and you followed me, a little better than me, but not much better. β
The mood of the team members relaxed with Liuyun's words, and a burst of laughter erupted when they heard the words. Liuyun waved to stop laughing, and said solemnly:
"From this day on, I hope that you will join me in burying that wicked boy and the wicked people around him into the grave, and when you crawl out, you will be reborn. The evil deeds we have committed do not mean that they are a thing of the past, and we can forget that we should use our own hands to atone for those sins. The process of transformation may be painful, and I hope you will all persevere. β
"Here, I would like to tell you one more piece of news. His Majesty the Emperor has made me a viscount, and I can form a personal guard of two hundred people, and you will be the first members of the guard, that is, you will return to the army and become a soldier. However, I can no longer find a trace of a soldier in you. Therefore, I have decided to start intensive training for you in three days, and in addition to restoring your true colors as soldiers, I will also turn you all into real powerhouses. β
After speaking, looking at the guards with shocked faces, Liuyun's heart couldn't help but feel a little dark. "Lao Tzu is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat. Boys, see that I don't kill you. β
Leaving everyone to slowly digest their words, Liuyun turned and left. Decided to set up his own guard, Liuyun for three reasons. First, after the blood oath, he suddenly thought that if Shui Ling'er encountered any danger, he didn't have enough strength to protect her, after all, this was a world where the strong were respected; second, he couldn't watch these soldiers under his command lose hope in life; third, he was so idle that he panicked and had to find some people to toss and toss. It's just that for his own set of training methods, he will train a group of freaks, or a miracle, Liuyun's heart is completely bottomless.;
