04 The heart of a beloved son

"Lord Yuyao, as the city assistant, rebels against the way of the minister, and the last general has already sent someone to guard the city auxiliary mansion, so please rest assured!"

Even after hearing such news, the Duju City Lord still had a trace of unbearability towards Yu Yao, and said sadly: "He has been loyal to Chiyan City for three generations, and when the ancestor died, he instructed the Lord to treat him favorably, so even if he wants to harm the owner, the Lord will also remember the past feelings, and will not want his life, and will make a decision after careful investigation."

"The last general knows that Lord Chengfu has worked hard, but because of this, many people in the court are from his disciples, these people are loyal to Lord Chengfu, I am afraid that if these courtiers know that the Lord has convicted Lord Chengfu, people who don't know the reason will definitely defend Lord Chengfu, and have a dislike for the Lord, not to mention, the young master is also under the control of Lord Chengfu, and the last general really doesn't want to see the young master controlled by Lord Chengfu, and make the young master and the lord meet each other?"

"Blade to blade?" Du Ju's face immediately turned pale, "Does the rebel want to rebel?" ”

"According to the news of the last general, the young master has joined up with the commander of Lu You, and directly sent troops to the North Yan Land, the Lord knows that the North Yan Land is the place where the Lord ordered the last general to train his troops, and they directly led the troops to attack here, isn't it just that they want to declare war on the Lord? I wonder if the last general is offended by saying this, whether it offends the Lord? ”

Kong Jing noticed the change in Du Ju's expression, and proudly showed a smile that no one could notice, but his eyes were not smiling at all, but full of hatred, full of carnival and joy about to be a blood feud.

"Lu You dares to betray the master! Ten years ago I spared his life, and I spared his life at the feast, and he deceived my son of evil into doing such things. Du Ju's withered hands were exposed, and he was obviously extremely angry, "You immediately send troops to intercept and take down Lu You's head, and I want him to taste the price of betrayal." ”

"The last general commands!" Kong Jing was about to retreat, but he heard the lord of Duju City call and said: "My rebel, after you arrest him, don't hurt his life, bring him to me, I will personally whip this demon." ”

Kong Jing looked at the thin old and weak city lord in front of him, his heart was full of hatred, he only understood at this time that even if the young master Xuanming was the son of a demon, the old man in front of him still cherished his life and was unwilling to kill him, sad and hateful kindness, but this kindness was only reserved for his own blood, and for outsiders, how could you ever be merciful.

"I don't know how the lord plans to deal with the young master, he disobeyed the lord's order and returned to Chiyan City without permission, and he also conspired with Lord Chengfu to prepare a rebellion, and he should be executed..."

"The Lord has said that I will bring him to me, and I will decide for myself!" The muscles on Duju's face twisted, his body was sweating like rain because of the pain caused by the gnawing of the demons in his body, his breath began to weaken, and the tightness in his chest made his breath unsmooth, causing him to pant, he could no longer support his weak body, and slowly fell to the ground, looking down at the arrogant man kneeling in front of him, with a trace of pride and ridicule in his heart.

"Let's let you slowly feel the pain of what a demon is!" Thinking like this in his heart, Kong Jing looked at the maid beside the city lord viciously, and said angrily: "Why don't you help the lord back to rest and ask the imperial doctor to come over!" ”

The two maids lifted up the city lord in fear, and when the city lord raised his head with difficulty to look at Kong Jing, he inadvertently shook his whole body, as if something had grabbed his heart and made it difficult for him to breathe.

Because, he looked at the man in front of him, the figure reflected in the moonlight was so proud and mighty, and on the face shrouded in darkness, there was a hint of an imperceptible smile, that smile was strange and with the satisfaction of revenge, Du Ju didn't know if this was an illusion brought about by the pain of his body, or the man in front of him revealed his true nature at such a moment, Du Ju wanted to ask, but he couldn't even make a sound.

He was dragged back to the bed by the maid and helped him to rest. Kong Jing looked at the man who was gasping on the bed, and just calmly replied: "The lord is not in good health, and the last general will retire." ”

He did not bow back, but withdrew from the dormitory. As Du Ju watched his figure disappear into the night, a layer of worry rose in his heart, but this worry was quickly swallowed up by the distortion and pain of his body, and then he fainted.

......................

The Blackbird passed through the tunnel and returned to the original circular entrance, which was guarded by more soldiers than it had first entered, apparently because of them who had broken into the place. Jielan didn't have the strength to deal with them anymore, but she didn't know which cave to break out from, and when she was in trouble, Luo Mo woke up, he slowly raised his head, and pointed to the hole in front of him on the right with difficulty, "Although I know where they will hold the White Devil, there should be no other place for such a character except that place, so rush out of here." ”

Maybe it was because he swore to protect himself to the death, Jielan suddenly felt that his arrogant and cold attitude was not so disgusted, and even preferred to trust his judgment, she stroked the blackbird's neck and bowed down, "Please!" ”

The blackbird flapped its wings a few times, and then swept across the hole like a shuttle, skimming over the heads of the soldiers, and in an instant it was like a gust of wind, and the helmets of the soldiers were removed, and when they were on guard to look for the intruder, there was only an empty tunnel, and there was a gust of wind, perhaps they were just dazzled! The soldiers stood between the holes again, oblivious to what had just happened.

In just a few moments, the blackbird passed through the deep hole, and met the dazzling sunlight that came in from the outside, Jielan felt like she had been reborn from the dark hell, and returned to the land of living beings, the blackbird carried her and Luomo in the air, forgetting the red mountain under the sky, Jielan was full of melancholy, she looked around urgently, but she couldn't find the black pig Qixue and their figures.

"They escaped from the zenith of the cage of hell, and they should be able to find it if you go in that direction!" Every word touched the wound, and Luomo's trembling muscles showed his extreme patience and unyieldingness.

"You... You okay! Jielan couldn't rest assured.

"This little bit of an injury is just tickling me." He's still proud.

Jielan turned around, driving the blackbird to fly in the direction of the east, she felt the heat of Luomo behind her, and recalled the scene just now, Jielan couldn't help but ask, "Hey! Just now... Why save me! Didn't you say that a weak and incompetent person is not entitled to the help of others? In that case, why risk your life for me, a stranger? ”

As if he didn't expect her to ask this question, he frowned and was silent for a long time, "It's just that I owe you a favor." ”

Really? Perhaps this simple and indifferent reason can make Jielan's heavy heart let go, yes, how can this man, like a flint exposed to the flames, as hard as iron, melt for ice water?
