03 Ten years of pain
Who is he? Jielan couldn't see him clearly, the man turned around, he was wearing a black cloak on his head, it was difficult to catch anything but those eyes, but Jielan had a familiar feeling, although the memory was so vague, but she was sure that she had seen this person.
The man walked up to them and got down on one knee, "Are you all right?" ”
Jielan nodded.
The man nodded reassuringly, he stood up, and with a few incantations, a large black bird emerged from his body and stood in front of him, and he stroked its head with caresses and commands, "Get them out of here!" ”
The black bird chirped, then squatted down, the man helped Jielan up, put her on the bird's back, and then lifted the injured Luomo, and carried it, he faced Jielan, "Someone will naturally deal with the matter here, and the person you said will also have someone to help you save him, so it's better for you to take your companion out of here!" ”
"Will there be anyone? Who? Jielan couldn't help but ask.
"If he wants to tell you, he will tell you, if he doesn't want to, I'm not qualified to tell you!" This person's words are like frozen ice, without the slightest emotion.
"Then thank him for me, I don't need help from others, I'll save people myself!"
There was silence for a long time, and the man did not speak again, but he whistled, and the bird flew up, carrying Jielan away like a flying fish outside the tunnel.
And this man is holding a long sword, facing the remaining demons alone!
.............................
It was a sharp pain, as if some kind of monster hidden in the shadows held his heart, making him breathless, and there seemed to be something in his body gnawing at his soul, little by little, the suffocating pain rushed to his somewhat cloudy brain, he just wanted to pull out the long sword beside him and kill wantonly, but the remaining reason in his brain made him try his best to endure his cruel desire.
In the past ten years, this pain has become deeper and deeper, as if it was pierced into his heart and cannot be pulled out. Who would have known that when the high lord of the city came to the hour, it was like he was going to hell.
But none of the imperial doctors could diagnose what disease he was suffering from, and he always prescribed only some medicines to cure angina pectoris and calm the mind, and on several occasions, because of his disappointment with these imperial doctors, he killed them all.
But the lord of the city of Duju vaguely understood in his heart that this seemed to be a curse he planted ten years ago, a curse from his dearest son and his favorite queen of the city out of hatred.
"But I'm not at fault!" For ten years, as the lord of the city, he had always thought so.
Outside the dormitory, the voice of the maid announced: "Lord, General Kongjing is here to meet!" ”
It was rare to see Kong Jing come to disturb at this time, and the city lord of Duju was very surprised, he propped up his body in severe pain, and asked the maid to loosen his clothes, and waited for the clothes to be neatly arranged before announcing Kong Jing.
Kong Jing knelt down on one knee and said: "Disturbing the Lord in the middle of the night, the minister is here to ask for guilt first, but the minister has an important matter that needs to be reported to the Lord immediately." ”
Because of the pain in his heart, he bowed for a long time and said weakly: "Say... Let's do it! What's the matter? ”
Kong Jing noticed that the city lord was ill and asked, "Is the lord's illness again?" ”
"Those quacks can't cure the master's illness, what's the use of staying in the city, the master doesn't want to see them again tomorrow."
Kong Jing seemed to seize the opportunity to speak, "The last general guessed that the lord's long-term illness had nothing to do with the imperial doctor, but because of his business?" ”
"What?"
"The young master has returned to the city."
The city lord of Duju suddenly heard the word young master, as if a thunderclap sounded in the sky in the quiet middle of the night, making his whole body tremble, and he almost fell from the head of the bed, he slowly stood up, approached Kongjing, and said in a trembling voice: "You... What did you just say? ”
"The young master of Xuanming has returned to the city, which is why the heartache of the lord has intensified, the young master was born with demonic nature, and it is also predicted that it will bring disaster to Chiyan City, so he was exiled ten years ago and was not allowed to step into the city, but the young master sneaked into the city, which is about to bring indelible disasters to Chiyan City."
"He... He's back? Didn't you tell me nine years ago that he had died? Why are you still alive? ”
"This is also where the last general doubts, the last general guesses that the young master will come back this time, not for anything else, but for... Just for..."Kongjing didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
"Only why?"
"I'm afraid it's the forgiveness of the Lord!"
The city lord of Duju had weak legs, and he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by a maid and fell down, "How could he have such a big courage to dare to do such a rebellious thing?" ”
"If it was ten years ago, maybe not, but the young master today is full of resentment towards the Lord, he doesn't understand the Lord's intentions, and he doesn't know the Lord's good intentions to save his life ten years ago, but the Lord ordered to kill his mother and exile him, so the grudge is deep, so the last general guesses that the young master's return to Chiyan City this time will definitely be unfavorable to the Lord."
"The Lord... The main body took pity on him when he was young, so he didn't kill him, the son of the demon, but he didn't expect him to do this to the master? Where is he now? ”
"It was in the Josuke-sama's mansion before." Kong Jing said solemnly, his confident face exuding a cold cold light.
"Josuke? Why is it with Josuke, does he want to threaten me with Josuke's life? ”
"The lord previously asked the last general to find out who reported to Wang Cheng, so that Wang Cheng sent the 'Imperial Ring' young monarch to our city to investigate, and the last general has already found out, it is Lord Chengfu!"
"What? General, you are mistaken, Lord Josuke-sama is loyal to his master, how could he do such a thing, it's ridiculous! ”
Kong Jing stood up and looked at Du Ju coldly, his eyes were like a sharp sword stabbing at the city lord, making him take a step back involuntarily, "You? Du Ju faced the man in front of him, feeling a little scared.
"If the Lord does not believe, please see this man!" Kong Jing looked outside the house and saw a guard walking in with a prisoner, who pushed the prisoner to the ground, immobilizing him.
"I believe the Lord knows this man."
The city lord of Duju glanced at the prisoner, although he had been whipped to a human shape, he could still tell that this person was from Zhong Yue Shangshu under Yu Yao.
"Say, Lord Shangshu, in the face of the Lord, do you dare to hide it?"
There was blood on the corners of the Shangshu Lord's mouth, his eyes burst out, his face was extremely distorted, it seemed that he was trying his best to endure humiliation and pain, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, the criminal minister deserves to die, it is his subordinates who sent a 'letter of request' to Wang Cheng, so that Wang Cheng... Send Shaojun to Chiyan City. ”
"You... You—" The city lord's face turned pale with anger, and his weak body became even weaker.
The guard presented a silk silk to the city lord with both hands, and he bowed to take it, and his hands trembled when he saw the book on it, and when he saw that the final payment was Yuyao, the city assistant of Chiyan City, he was even more angry and threw the silk silk to the ground, "The master has always treated him generously, and he has always thought that he is loyal to the Lord, but it really chills me to think that he has harmed me so much!" ”
