05 Witchcraft
Luomo, who was standing on the side, suddenly heard the name of Chaoya, his face sank suddenly, he grabbed Lu You's arm, because of the urgency of the moment, Lu You only felt that his arm was in pain. And he said urgently: "The Chao Ya you are talking about is the Jade Cavalry Captain Chao Ya ten years ago?" ā
Lu You nodded, seeing that Luo Mo had such a big reaction, and he was suspicious in his heart.
But the criminals knew the identity of Luomo, and he stood up and said, "Captain Chaoya is still alive?" Didn't you get beheaded by my foolish father ten years ago because he was burdened by me? Why are you still alive? ā
"I don't know this detail very well, but I heard that he has been living in the Chengfu Lord's Mansion for the past ten years, and he will become a housekeeper after changing his name, as for what the purpose is, I don't know, does Luomo-kun know the captain of Chaoya?"
Luomo's hands trembled a little, his face turned pale, and it took a long time before he spit out word by word from his mouth, "He is my father, I don't know how." ā
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned for a while, and they couldn't help but feel even more sad for him, because Fang Cailu mentioned that Captain Chaoya's blood was splashed in the main hall, so isn't it?
The gangster was not excited to think that his friend's father was still alive, and asked, "What is the current captain of the Tooth School?" ā
"I heard from other officials that Kong Jing abandoned Captain Chaoya in a mass grave, and his subordinates have sent people to look for him, and I believe it will be found in a short time."
Luomo's face suddenly turned like ashes, his lips turned pale, and he muttered, "Mass graves? He... Is he dead? Luomo looked gloomy and stayed there blankly, as if it was not sad.
"Luomo, don't worry, your father was beheaded because of me back then, and now he was killed by Kongjing for Chiyan City, I Xuan Ming is really grateful, from now on you and I are like brothers, with me there is you, with you there is me."
Luomo wanted the young master to regard himself as a brother, which was his trust and gratitude, but how could the pain of losing his father be extinguished, he only said: "Thank you young master, the young master has long been like a brother in my Luomo heart." There was still a sadness in his eyes that could not be hidden, "Commander Luyou, please let me go and find my father's body myself, after ten years of absence, I wanted to see each other again, but I didn't expect it to be like this, it seems that God is so fond of playing tricks on me." Romana was so sad that he couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to find his father's body.
"I'll go with you!" The criminals made this request, but Roma replied, "No, the young master has more important matters to deal with, so I just go myself!" ā
The criminals know Luomo's mood, and letting him go by himself can ease his mood, not to mention that he still has to find his father, and he also has to deal with many political affairs in Chiyan City, I am afraid that even if he does not want to, but during the period when his father is not in power, he still has to act as the government.
"Alright, there you go! All sorrows! ā
Luo Mo nodded, and was about to say goodbye to the banquet, but he heard a woman's voice behind him, Luo Mo looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Jielan.
"I'm going with you, you have helped us so much in Beiyandi, I want to help you a little at this moment." Jielan was afraid that Luomo would be sad because of his father's misfortune, but he was patient, because he knew that Luomo had always been hard, and even if there was any grief in his heart, he would endure it himself, and this kind of character was quite similar to himself.
Luo Mo hesitated for a while, he didn't expect Jielan to go with him, but he still said decisively: "No need, a place like a mass grave is not suitable for you to go." ā
"Who said that?" Without waiting for Luomo to answer, Jielan said to the criminal: "I will accompany Luomo to find his father, so I will not accompany the young master and the young king." ā
Jielan said this, Qi Xue, Chengfeng, and Black Pig naturally had to follow, because they were not noble people after all, and it was not suitable for them to come to this city, and now they had the opportunity to get out of here, which was simply undesirable for them.
Qing Zhan looked at Jielan, who was indifferent to him, and didn't know what to say, he only said: "Then you should be careful, if you encounter anything, let me know in time." ā
Jielan lowered her head and said softly, still looking a little sad, as if facing Qingzhan would make her feel more pain, and staying by his side for a moment would hurt her more, Jielan just wanted to avoid him, so that she could calm down and gradually forget her ignorant heart.
Chengfeng didn't want Jielan to be nostalgic, so he said coldly: "Let's go!" If I continue to talk about it, I'm afraid that it will be dark, and it will be more difficult to find it then. ā
Jielan nodded, turned her back and walked out of the hall, and Luo Mo said goodbye to the court after making a gesture to the young master and the young monarch.
When their figures disappeared from sight, Qing Zhan suddenly felt a shock, since his subordinate Tan Qi said that word against Jielan when the army carnival together that day, Jielan has avoided herself, and Qing Zhan can't figure out whether Jielan wants to stay away from her because of the disparity in status, or whether she really has no nostalgia for herself at all, so she chooses not to have anything to do with herself.
Even if he was extremely resourceful, he couldn't guess Jielan's thoughts, he just felt that his empty heart had lost its balance, so that he was a little swaying and powerless.
The gangster looked at Qing Zhan Shaojun's gaze and stayed in the direction where Jielan left, so he understood his thoughts, but this was Shaojun's private matter, and he couldn't ask about it, so he only said to Lu You: "Do you know where my father is now?" ā
Lu You's face was sad, and he said, "I have asked Corporal Qiu Ze to go to the Kongjing Mansion to search his house, I hope I can find some clues." ā
As soon as the wicked man heard this, he knew that there was no news of his father yet, and he could not help but be a little worried, because the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous he would become.
When he was feeling depressed, he heard Qiu Ze outside the hall walk in, knelt down towards the young lord and the young monarch, and arched his hand: "Report to the young lord and young lord, when we searched the empty mansion, we caught a suspicious person, and my subordinates felt that this person should be related to the disappearance of the lord, so they brought her over." ā
The thief was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Bring him up for questioning." ā
"Bring her in!" Qiu Ze ordered the soldiers waiting outside the palace, and the two soldiers were escorting a woman who was about double armor, the woman's long silver hair was scattered, her skin was cracked, her eyes were protruding, the corners of her mouth were tightly constricted, her hands were dry and slender, she was already a little hunchbacked, she was wearing a red robe, and a black bulb hung around her neck.
Qiu Ze kicked her to her knees, and then said to the young master: "This person is a wizard, when his subordinates went to the Kongjing Mansion, they saw that she was performing witchcraft, as if she was casting a spell on someone, and the subordinates thought she was suspicious, so they grabbed her and escorted her over." ā
The criminals walked up to the woman and asked, "What are you doing in the Kongjing Mansion?" What did he ask you to do for him? Why witchcraft is practised, and to whom is it being practised? ā
The wizard was a little frightened, but said, "I was only entrusted by Kongjing, and he asked me to cast a spell on someone, but I don't know who the wife is." ā
"Nonsense, how could you not know? If you don't know, how can you cast a curse on the other person? The offender was a little angry and asked him.
"Kong Jing only gave me this, let me cast a spell on it, I really don't know the rest." The sorcerer's fear of the impending punishment made her trembling hands take a box from her bosom and present it to the offender with both hands.
The criminals took the box and opened the lid of the box, but saw that there was a lump of flesh inside, which was carefully identified as a heart, but the heart was already blackened and emitted a powerful black evil aura. The gangster didn't know what it was, and was puzzled, but he had a premonition that something terrible was happening, and he gave it to Qing Zhan, who only glanced at it, and then understood, and said to the wizard: "You dare to use witchcraft to awaken the demonic energy, it seems that you want to go into the earth as soon as possible." ā
When the wizard heard this, he fell to the ground in fright, and begged for mercy, "I... I don't know anything, Kong Jing summoned the old woman and me into the city court to perform witchcraft for him, and I dare not disobey. ā
"Then your sorcery may be lifted?" Qing Zhan asked.
The wizard's face turned pale for a long time before he said, "No... No, I'm under a soul curse, I can't solve this curse, I can only rely on the perseverance of the person who is cursed to lift it, I... Iā" The wizard was too frightened to speak at the thought of his next fate.
The battle chief exhaled and said, "Take her down!" Qiu Ze set up the wizard, who was already a little paralyzed, and walked out of the palace. The gangster was full of doubts, but he was also full of worries, and he thought that the young man would surely come to his senses, so he asked, "Do you know why this wizard is under a spell, and to whom is he been?" ā
"This soul spell is to release the power of the demon that invades the body of the acolyte, so that it can fully awaken and invade the body and soul of the acolyte, so that the demon that was previously attached to the acolyte will no longer reside in the acolyte's body, but completely replace him as an independent soul, and the soul of the acolyte will be oppressed under his power and cannot wake up." Qing Zhan was a little worried when he mentioned this, but that worry was exactly what the criminals were worried about.
"So my father is the acolyte?" The offender was careful to raise this question, which was difficult for him to face.
Qing Zhan didn't want the criminals to accept such cruel facts, so he just smiled and said, "This is just my speculation, don't take it seriously, and we can't conclude that the object of her spell is the Lord of Duju City, if we think like this, wouldn't it be that we are in harmony with the empty Jing." ā
The criminals knew that Shaojun's words were comforting themselves, but no matter how worried and sad he was, he had to control his emotions, if he was out of control, then what should the soldiers below?
He nodded and said, "What Shaojun said is true, in the past few days, he has been tired from running around for days, and Shaojun's old injuries have not healed, so he asked Shaojun to go back to 'Biluo Pavilion' to rest." ā
Qing Zhan was also tired at the moment, he nodded, and said to Split Bo and Tan Qi behind him: "I'm going to rest, you also follow the arrangement of Young Master Xuanming to rest, don't follow me anymore." ā
Split Bo and Tan Qi took the order and said, "Yes, we will escort the young monarch back to Biluo Pavilion and then go to rest!" ā
Qing Zhan wanted to walk alone, but with these two people, I am afraid that he has no thoughts, and he is very stubborn when he wants to separate the two of them, and he is too lazy to talk to them anymore, so after saying goodbye to the criminals and Lu You, he will go back to Biluo Pavilion to rest.
And the criminals stayed in the palace, looking at the remaining Ning Lu, and suddenly felt a trace of warmth in their hearts.
Lu You knew the relationship between him and Ning Lu, and thought that it was best for him not to disturb him at this time, so he also told the young master to withdraw from the city court to find the traces of the city lord of Duju.
