08 Care
The feast did not disperse until midnight, and when the officials withdrew from the Pavilion of Paradise, it was already dark at night, and several maids each carried a lantern to guide them.
After Yu Yao and the other officials left, they caught up with Qing Zhan and thanked him: "Thank you Shaojun for coming forward to save the old minister!" ”
"Lord Josuke laughed, if you really want to thank you, you should thank this disobedient guard next to me, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't want to take care of the political affairs of your Chiyan City!" Qing Zhan relentlessly rejects the past.
Yu Yao looked at Jielan beside him, although the other party was very different from his identity, he still said politely: "Thank you for this guard for coming forward for the old minister!" He looked at the gangster beside him and said to Jielan: "My guard is very grateful to you, can you invite the two of you to my mansion to talk about it, to show the old minister's meager heart!" ”
Qing Zhan knew that although the other party was talking to Jielan, he was actually inviting him, but a Chengfu invited him late at night, there must be something important, and this matter was very secret.
Qing Zhan pulled Jielan and refused: "My guard is concerned about his riding beast, and this gentleman has no choice but to accompany her, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Lord Josuke to respond to her invitation!" He took Jielan and prepared to leave, but he heard the criminals come up and shout, "Wait! ”
Jielan stopped and looked at the guard, who had broken his arm. The thug said to Qing Zhan, "Can you let me say a few words to this guard alone!" ”
A strange gaze looked at Jielan, who met Qing Zhan's gaze, as if she understood the meaning of his smiling gaze, she glared at him and walked towards the gangster.
I don't know why, Jielan always feels that the person in front of her is so familiar, as if those memories sealed in her heart are about to gush out.
"Please leave this Red Swallow City!" The offender said with a commanding solemnity.
Jielan didn't expect him to say such a sentence, as if the other party suddenly pushed herself into the cold abyss, and she also said coldly: "Leave? Why? ”
"This is not the place for you."
Not that I should come? Jielan was suddenly confused, did the person in front of her know herself, so she said these words, "You... Do you know me? ”
The gangster was silent for a while, he wanted to tell his true identity, but he knew that as long as he said it, Jielan was even more reluctant to leave. "Nope! We're just meeting for the first time, there are too many sins and too many killings in this city, and you saved my life, so I'm reminding you! ”
"Thanks!" Jielan pointed at Qing Zhan, "I still have important things to do, and after that, even if anyone stays with me, I won't stay here for a moment." Jielan returned to Qingzhan and ignored the criminal's advice, although Jielan seemed to understand that this guard had no ill will towards her, but she didn't know why she was angry, because she never thought about leaving? Is it because he had to go to rescue Chengfeng, but this person came to persuade him to leave and got angry? Jielan couldn't figure it out.
"You two were whispering intimately there, but it hurt me, huh?" Qing Zhan whispered in Jielan's ear. Jielan immediately glared at him when she heard this teasing that she was used to, but because of his casual words, Jielan suddenly found that Fang Cai's bad mood suddenly disappeared.
Could it be that this man always said such things to himself just to keep himself from thinking about those troubles and sorrows, but he had only known him for a few hours, how could he do this? Jielan smiled self-deprecatingly, laughing at the ridiculous ideas.
Yu Yao saw that Qing Zhan insisted on refusing, so he didn't force him to stay, so he ordered Lu You behind him to say: "Then let Lu You take you there, and Wei Chen will come to disturb you later!" ”
Qing Zhan didn't return to Chengfu, Lu You was ordered to lead the way, Jielan hurriedly followed, Qing Zhan saw that Jielan was so urgent, obviously a little displeased, and whispered in her ear: "I want to see what kind of demon actually makes you so concerned?" ”
Jielan didn't know why, she actually blushed because of what he said, but what she could be sure of was that when she knew that she could go directly to the 'Forbidden Demon Prison' to rescue Chengfeng, she breathed a deep sigh of relief, he thought of Chengfeng's repeated sacrifices to save his life, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as for why she was uneasy, even she couldn't tell herself.
Yu Yao let Lu You lead the two to go to the 'Forbidden Demon Prison', Lu You's life can be said to be saved by the two of them, naturally there is a gratitude and respect, he answered the promise, and led the way, on the way without even saying a word, the two followed him not long to ask for a prison cell made of iron, the four sides of the room are also locked with heavy chains, the entrance door is made of hundreds of pounds of marble, and it has to be activated by the mechanism. The two guards standing guard saw Commander Lu You and knelt on one leg to salute.
"Open the door!" Lu Yu commanded.
"Yes," the two guards struggled to turn an object that resembled a wind wheel on the iron wall, and the heavy stone door rose with the force of the iron chain, and the door gradually opened. The "Forbidden Demon Prison" was built underground, and as soon as the door was opened, it smelled a suffocating and dull stench.
And even standing outside the entrance of the 'Forbidden Demon Prison', you can hear the deafening roar and roar of the demons inside.
"Why do you imprison the demons in the city hall, so that you are not afraid that they will escape and threaten the lives of the people in the city hall?" Jielan asked suspiciously.
"These demons are trapped with the labor tools created by the bone sword master, but it is very difficult to escape, and the demons who are generally imprisoned here have extremely high demonic power, and when they are disciplined and tamed, they can be used as high-grade war beasts, if they are imprisoned outside the city, it is easy for some people to steal these demons?" Lu Yu replied calmly.
Jielan wanted to ask if the White Devil was imprisoned here, but thinking that such a question would definitely make him suspicious, so he was silent and stopped asking.
