The emperor asked Ling Yun to capture the Heavenly Demon Maiden within three days: otherwise, the two crimes would be one, and he would be sentenced to death.

Back in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, in the face of Lord Lu's painstaking persuasion, Ling Yun put his mind down, gritted his teeth, and resisted to the end.

Lu Wenzheng finally became furious. He raised his hand tremblingly, and slapped Ling Yun in the face hard!

Ling Yun was defenseless, and under the abuse of Lu Wenzheng's angry slap, his originally kneeling figure couldn't help but stumble and almost fell.

His handsome and well-defined face was immediately covered in intense pain, a trace of blood slowly oozed from the corners of his pale mouth, his ears roared, and his eyes blurred piece by piece......

Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen on the side were stunned. It took a long time for the two to recover from their panic.

hurriedly stepped forward to support Ling Yun's crumbling figure; One hugged Lord Lu's trembling body and persuaded him repeatedly.

Lu Wenzheng was so angry that he gasped, "Don't stop me!" This stinky boy, stubborn, killed himself, I just want to beat him to death at once! When he was in the palace, he should have let the emperor kill him, and then it would be a hundred, everyone would have to worry about it, and it would save me from making me angry again! I...... I ......"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, he raised his palm and wanted to hit again, Xu Zhi hurriedly hugged his arm with both hands, as if coaxing a child, and persuaded him to calm down.

Then Xu Zhi turned his face, looked at Ling Yun with a pair of anxious eyes, and said in an almost begging tone: "Commander Ling, now that the matter is over, don't be strong anymore, you just give in to the adults, okay?" ”

Ling Yun nodded bitterly, then shook his head weakly. At that moment, he suddenly understood that it turned out that a person was covered with a huge sorrow, and not all of them were instantaneous.

With some difficulty, he broke away from Yang Zhen's arm that was holding him tightly, crawled a few steps on his knees, and finally climbed to Lord Lu's side step by step.

He buried his head deeply, and a thin layer of red rose like a river, slowly spreading throughout his eye sockets, extinguishing all the light in his eyes.

He whimpered for a long time, and finally let out a bitter voice in a muffled voice, "My lord, I'm sorry...... You're going to kill Ling Yun......"

Lu Wenzheng's eyes opened angrily, and the green tendons in the corners of his forehead bulged with his panting breath. He trembled and pointed at him and said, "You...... You go...... Stinky boy, I'll never see you again......"

After a lot of turmoil.

Ling Yun came out of Lu Wenzheng's study in despair, and walked forward blankly, unconsciously coming to the back garden of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.

He sat down leaning against the stone railing, staring intently at the flowers competing in front of him, and did not even change his movements for a long time.

He really didn't want to go back to the county horse mansion again, to face the lord of Huanyu, to face everything he didn't want to face. He was the only one who sat silently alone in the wind, dazed.

Overhead, the birds chirped desolate and returned to their nests. In the twilight, it was a little dark in front of me. Yuzhu, the little servant who served him, came over and called him a few times and asked him to go back to eat, but he ignored him.

What was he thinking? I am thinking about practicing Nanchun, I am thinking about Lord Huanyu, I am thinking about Lord Lu, I am thinking about He Yuting and Ying Chuanlin, and I am thinking about everything that has happened in the past few days...... He wondered what he was going to do next.

He didn't know how long he'd been sitting here, or how long he'd been going to be there.

All he knew was that he sat still, motionless like a carved clay sculpture of wood, and his facial expression did not change except for the occasional blink of his eyes.

He was in pain, hesitant, he wanted to find someone to confide in the bitterness and heartfelt feelings in his heart, but in the huge capital, he couldn't find such a person, no one could understand him.

Dark clouds were in the sky, and they pressed down.

The wind rose, flying sand and rocks, and slapping him in the face mercilessly; There was a rumbling thunder in his ears, dull and oppressive, and it made his ear drums buzz.

A storm is coming. He remained motionless.

It's the height of summer, and this kind of weather is actually quite normal. A flash of lightning illuminated his pale face, barely bloody.

The rain finally began to fall. The wind is getting wilder and wilder; The rain became more and more sudden, the grass and trees bent over it, and the petals fell to the ground.

Ling Yun's clothes were already soaked, and the rain ran down his hair and down his cheeks, pouring down like a curtain of water, cold. His whole body was cold, and his heart was cold.

Yuzhu ran over with an umbrella and persuaded, "Commander Ling, what are you doing?" The rain is so heavy, how can it be good if it gets wet? The little one knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you can't do this to your body! If you have three long and two short, who do you want the small one to serve? ……”

As if he hadn't heard, Ling Yun's eyes straightened, and Mu Ran sat on the stone steps, his body still motionless.

Yuzhu couldn't persuade Ling Yun, so he had to run to the study to find Master Lu.

Lu Wenzheng was choked by Ling Yun just now, and he was angry, and now when he heard Yuzhu say this, he was even more angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and sat down in the chair speechless for a long time.

Yang Zhen said anxiously: "How can this be made?" Brother Ling, is this deadly? Is he having trouble with himself, or is he having trouble with us? Yuzhu, you go get an umbrella, I'll go and pull him back! ”

Lu Wenzheng relieved himself, sighed helplessly, and said, "Yang Zhen, I don't think you still need to go." Anyway, he can't catch the Heavenly Demon Girl, and the emperor won't spare him; This bastard boy, let him fend for himself and do it himself, we can't control it anyway! It's just right to die, and once it's a hundred, everyone will be relieved! ”

Yang Zhen was a little at a loss for a moment when he saw Lord Lu's almost self-defeating appearance, and opened his mouth in embarrassment, but did not speak.

Xu Zhi took over the conversation at this time and said, "My lord, don't talk angry." If Commander Ling really has three longs and two shorts, and others haven't done anything yet, you don't have to cry to death first! ”

Lu Wenzheng rolled his eyes and said, "What, I'm crying to death?" Without this trouble-causing ancestor, it's too late for me to be happy, will I cry? ”

Xu Zhi looked at the tyrannical weather outside, "My lord, so we don't have to go?" ”

"You don't have to go!" Lu Wenzheng nodded resolutely. Then he turned his face expressionlessly, looked at Yuzhu and said, "Yuzhu, you lead the way, I'll go over with you to have a look!" ”

Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing at that moment, and laughed with a "squirt".

Yang Zhen stuck out his tongue and said, "My lord, didn't you just say that you didn't care about him, why are you more anxious than anyone else now?" ”

Lu Wenzheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "When did I say that I was going to take care of him?" I just went over with Yuzhu to see him! ”

As he spoke, he turned his face back to Yuzhu, who was a little stunned, and said, "Why are you still stunned, let's go!" ”

Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "My lord, don't do it!" It's raining so hard outside and thundering so loudly, it's dangerous. You are a daughter, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country and the court, how can there be any mistakes? If you want to go, let your subordinates go! ”

Lu Wenzheng still insisted on going, but the two of them dragged his arm and said nothing.

Lu Wenzheng looked at the somewhat sad faces of the two, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.

He sighed and said, "Alas! You and Ling Yun were originally the right-hand men of the mansion, and the mansion has always been regarded as the son and nephew of the cronies; Unexpectedly, Ling Yun fell to this point just for a woman, which is really disappointing and painful for this mansion!

"'Lust makes you faint,' that's not bad at all. Lingyun, when will you wake up and repent, and when will you understand the hard work of this mansion for you? ”

Xu Zhidao: "My lord, don't be sad. In fact, Commander Ling was just confused for a while, and I believe he will wake up soon. Don't worry, we're going to call him back. ”……

Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen were led to the back garden by Yuzhu.

Ling Yun was still sitting on the stone steps, motionless, and the wind and rain were raging wildly on him. A bright electric light illuminated his pale, blank face.

Yang Zhen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and roared, "Lingyun, what do you want? If you want to die, go for it! You can't use this cruel way to practice yourself, and at the same time torture others! ”

With a "bang", he threw a long sword at his feet.

Xu Zhi hurriedly grabbed Yang Zhen and said, "Captain Yang, what are you doing here?" Don't be impulsive! ”

Yang Zhen said with scarlet eyes: "How can I not be impulsive? Ling Yun, let me ask you, in your mind, Lord Lu, the county lord, and so many brothers from the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department—are all of them not as important as that demon girl? ……”

Ling Yun staggered to his feet, his eyes were a little hazy, as if he was talking to them, and as if he was talking to himself, "Actually, do you know, she has already broken up with me, and I will never see her again from now on-

"But why can't you let her go, why do you still have to report to the police to arrest her? You're amazing...... Do you have to be happy if a couple of people who love each other turn against each other and kill each other? Why are you doing this? ……”

Xu Zhi saw that Ling Yun was in a trance, his eyes were scattered, and his body was shaky, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and hurriedly helped him and said, "Commander Ling, what's wrong with you?" Who are you talking to? ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xu Zhi stupidly, as if he had not woken up in his sleepwalking.

Yang Zhen also saw that there was something wrong with Ling Yun's expression; He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his arms tightly with both hands, shook his body vigorously, and said urgently: "Brother Ling, Brother Ling, what's wrong with you, are you confused?" ……”

Ling Yun didn't speak. He just glanced at the two of them, then gently pushed their hands away, turned around and staggered forward, no matter how the people behind him called him and called him, he didn't look back.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the dark night sky, and a thunderclap exploded above him. He felt a roar in his ears, and his eyes were full of splendor, so he didn't know anything......
