Ling Yun was finally pitted by his most relied on and trusted father, He Yuting. After drinking the drugged glass of wine, he fainted and fell to the ground.

There was a low laugh outside the door, and two muscular men strode in.

The person in front is none other than Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Heavenly Owl Gang.

And the person behind is about sixty years old, green clothes and cloth robes, full of energy, face like a crown of jade, thick eyebrows, nose like a jade pillar, lips like beads, three locks of long hair fluttering on the chest, holding floating dust in his hand, carrying a sword on his shoulder, looking fairy wind bones, chic and elegant. But it was the Heavenly Owl Elder White Feather Daoist.

Li Ruiyun Shi Ran walked over, with a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, revealing undisguised undisguised unruliness and treachery.

He glanced down at Ling Yun who had fallen to the ground, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, the smile was gloomy and gloomy.

"Ling Yun, Commander Ling, my eldest son, don't you usually boast of being shrewd—I didn't expect that you also have times when the boat capsized in the gutter! ……”

His face changed suddenly, as if he was covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes became cold and terrifying.

"Take him away! ......" He turned around and instructed the Heavenly Owl disciples who followed suit.

The people behind answered, rushed forward without saying anything, grabbed the unconscious Ling Yun roughly, pushed and shoved and walked out.

He Yuting's face was expressionless, and he just watched his son be taken out by the group of wolf-like people in front of him, and then gradually drifted away, and finally slowly disappeared from his field of vision.

Li Ruiyun was already full of joy, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of pride, "Lord He took care of the overall situation, killed his relatives with righteousness, and helped Li solve a difficult matter, and Li thanked me here!" Lord He, we will continue to cooperate with each other in the future! ”

He Yuting didn't say a word. He still maintained the posture of staring out of the door just now, his expression was unmoved, a few strands of hair scattered in front of his forehead covered his pale cheeks, his eyes were empty, and the whole person was full of deep numbness and sadness.

Li Ruiyun said: "Li deeply understands Lord He's mood at this time. However, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, and Ling Yun insists on going his own way, delusionally trying to show his grievances for Lu Wenzheng, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg and seeking his own death?

"Even if Lord He doesn't help, we can still catch him, and Lord He is also in line with the times, which is a wise move! Besides, is it very cost-effective to exchange one life for three lives? ”

After being reminded by him, He Yuting came to his senses. He slowly raised his eyes, and even the muscles in his face twitched faintly.

"Huanyu and God give them away, let them go!" His voice trembled.

Li Ruiyun's eyebrows bent, and a chuckle escaped from the depths of his throat. He turned his face to look at Bai Yu for a moment.

Bai Yu understood, clapped his hands lightly, and several Heavenly Owl disciples flashed outside the door, pushing and shoving a few people in front of He Yuting.

Looking at it, it was the concubine Yu of He Tianci, the lord of Huanyu County and the little son, and He Yuting. It's just that the three of them looked confused, ignorant, and looked stupid.

He Yuting looked at Li Ruiyun angrily, like a trapped beast, "...... How could they be like this? ……”

Li Ruiyun said: "In order to avoid disturbing others with noisy noise, I took a meditation pill for each of them without authorization. However, Lord He does not need to worry, this pill is a great tonic, which is beneficial and harmless to the body, and he will be sober after taking it for 12 hours. ”

He paused for a moment and looked at the sky outside, it was already the middle of the moon.

Li Ruiyun arched his hand at He Yuting and said, "Lord He, it's not early, Li has taken his leave." ”

As he spoke, he gave a look at the White Feather Taoist and led the crowd away.

He Yuting stared blankly at their distant backs, only to feel that his mind was blank......

The dark night sky was only half a crescent. The miserable white moonlight was as hazy as a veil, and it penetrated weakly into the deep and cold Hou Ye's mansion.

It's so quiet that it's like falling into the endless darkness, and it makes people shudder. At a glance, it is still endlessly depressed and weird.

When Princess Evergreen woke up from her nightmare, it was already the next night.

Knowing what had happened, she was in pain, and her hatred for He Yuting reached the extreme.

"Why, why are you doing this? …… He's your own son—the tiger doesn't eat it! He Yuting, is your heart more vicious than a beast? She burst into tears.

He Yuting looked at Princess Evergreen with panic and despair in his eyes, he walked to her brocade couch step by step, and slowly knelt in front of her.

"Princess, in fact, I have to do it as a last resort! They kidnapped Huanyu and God-given them, and used this as a threat, saying that only by exchanging Zhichao could they keep their mother and son safe, otherwise they would kill them! The people of the Heavenly Owl are cruel and vicious, but what they say and do, can I watch their mother and son die in vain? ”

Princess Evergreen gritted her teeth and said, "Then can you bear to send your own son into the tiger's mouth?" ”

He Yuting's face turned pale to the extreme, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with indescribable helplessness and sadness, "But isn't Tianci also our grandson?" Isn't it also the bloodline of our Hou Yefu? Besides, he's so young—can you bear to make him make a senseless sacrifice?

"Moreover, there are also Huanyu and Yu, they are also innocent! Besides, what Li Ruiyun wants now is Zhichao, not them, and they are only needlessly involved in this dispute because of the grievances between Zhichao and Tianxiao, if they are allowed to act as substitute ghosts, wouldn't it be too wronged? ”

Princess Changqing said: "So, do you want my Lin'er to die?" He Yuting, don't say anything, I hate you! ……”

As she spoke, she buried her head in the brocade quilt and cried bitterly.

He Yuting only felt that his eyes were sour and a little stinging; He covered his face weakly with his hands, his throat so clogged that he could barely breathe.

"Princess, I understand the pain in your heart, but can you understand the pain in my heart? Since I received Li Ruiyun's letter that day, I really don't know how I got over in the past few days? On one side is his own son; On one side is his grandson, and there are Huanyu and them......

"To stay and choose, where to go, who can understand the hesitation and suffering in my heart? I'm afraid that you will be frightened, and you will force your face to be happy - princess, in fact, I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation, all for our family! ”

He raised his head with difficulty, squeezing out the bitterness in his heart word by word.

Princess Evergreen only felt her heart gradually cool into ice. She raised her face slightly, tears mixed with reddish blood couldn't help rolling down, and she smiled sadly, like a madman.

"For this home? It's for yourself! - Even your own wife and son, you can think about it, and keep saying that 'all parents in the world have the most genuine heart for their children' - He Yuting, you are too hypocritical, what do you say can I believe in you now? ……”

He Yuting's face turned pale and he was speechless.

At this moment, he clearly felt a sharp burning pain in the depths of his right chest, bubbling out endlessly. He knew it was his old wound.

Princess Evergreen said: "If my Lin'er really has three longs and two shorts, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life - you give me out, I don't want to see you again!" ”

He Yuting's pale lips trembled for a few moments, and after all, he couldn't say a word, only sighed, staggered to his feet, and staggered outside. His back was lonely and fragile.

The evergreen princess bowed her head and wept again, like the broken wail of a desperate and helpless young beast.

The light and the night mingled together, and the silence and heartache were mixed together, and when a cold wind blew, it hurt as if someone was cutting the soul with a knife.

Du Zhenghai returned to his residence, saw Ling Yun's message, and was so angry that he only stomped his feet. scolded Ling Yun for getting into the water and killing himself, but he was helpless.

At the same time, he was also thinking that maybe everything was not as bad as he thought, and with Ling Yun's shrewdness and adaptability, he could probably escape the danger and return safely.

But hope is hope, for a few days in a row, Ling Yun is like a yellow crane, and there is no news, he can basically be sure that Ling Yun is really in trouble.

What to do, of course, is to help. Although he also knew that this trip was dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would lose his wife and lose his soldiers, and even his own life would be involved. Is there just another way?

That night, he was dressed in a black night coat and carried a three-foot sword at his waist, and he came to the Hou Ye's Mansion all the way.

His original intention was to come here to inquire about Ling Yun's news; As soon as he entered the Hou Ye's mansion, he saw He Yuting in the study.

At that time, He Yuting was sitting alone behind the bookcase, looking out blankly, with a numb expression on his face, with a stagnant color like a clay sculpture, and even wrinkles showed no signs of fluctuation. The two distracted eyes occasionally turned, and then fell silent like a dry well.

He woke up from a dream when a cold sword came across his heart.

"So it's you? It's been a long time! He Yuting raised his head weakly, and collided with the murderous eyes of Du Zhenghai standing in front of the bookcase, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Du Zhenghai forcibly suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "He Yuting, I just want to kill you with a sword now!" It's just that I have more important things to do today, so let you live a little longer and tell me - where is Lingyun? ”

He Yuting sighed: "It turns out that you are here for Zhichao!" Alas, Zhichao can make a friend like you, even if he dies, he should have no regrets. ”

Du Zhenghai couldn't help but be shocked, "What do you mean by this, do you really ...... Kill him? ”

He Yuting's eyes condensed slightly, and he sighed and said, "You misunderstood." As the saying goes: Tiger poison does not eat children, how can I say that he is also my biological son, no matter what, I will not kill him! ”

Du Zhenghai's eyes tightened, and his voice was low: "Tell me, where is he?" ”……
