Chapter 228: Death is certain
Only then did Yang Xiaotian understand the whole thing, and cast a grateful look at everyone.
At the same time, I was glad in my heart that I hired someone from the Killer Society at that time, and with their reputation, if something went wrong, they would definitely find out the reason, and it was this responsible attitude that let them know that they had come to Qingnan City, which led to their appearance at a critical moment.
In this way, Yang Xiaotian once again turned the danger into a disaster and embarked on the road back to the academy, the second master Feng Youchu and Feng Ming, and the four children also went to the imperial capital together, after all, the current Qingnan City is the city of the Lan Soul Empire, they escaped back as prisoners without permission, if they are discovered, they will definitely be punished for the crime of fleeing without permission, I am afraid that the death penalty will not escape.
And the other servants, under the persuasion of the second master Feng Youchu, issued soul coins and went their own way, now he doesn't need so many servants to serve, not to mention, some of those servants still have families, after being captured from the city, they have not returned, and now they are going to find their relatives.
Only Lin Bo stayed alone, he had no family, and he had been doing things in the Feng family for the past twenty years, so he chose to go with the second master, and it just so happened that the second master and they really needed someone to take care of them, so they agreed.
Along the way, everyone began to talk and laugh, chatting about each other's experiences, and the second master also talked about his plans, after arriving in the imperial capital, he rented a house next to Nancheng College, and then educated and tutored Feng Ming and his four children, he wanted to be the father of these poor children and raise them to adulthood.
Those children were naturally moved to tears, and finally someone took care of them, and they could also be like normal children, full of food and clothing, and they could also learn skills.
Yang Xiaotian looked at these little brothers, and was happy for them in his heart, but while he was happy, he thought of Little Rabbit, how good it would be if she was still there! Then a trace of loneliness and self-blame flashed in his eyes.
The curtain spirit on the side, her eyes were always on Yang Xiaotian's body, she didn't allow him to say goodbye again, so she had to watch him from time to time, but she knew in her heart that it was this month's separation that made her cherish their time together even more, so she would always keep her eyes on him.
At this time, I saw the change in his eyes, so I asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Xiaotian came back to his senses from his loneliness, turned his head to look at the curtain spirit, pursed his lips, and shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing!"
"I won't allow you to hide anything from me anymore! Mu Ling's beautiful eyes flashed, and she began to cry as she spoke.
"It's all my fault!" Yang Xiaotian stroked the green silk of the curtain spirit and apologized.
The other brothers, though they didn't hear what they were saying, saw the curtain spirit sobbing and cast concerned glances.
Mu Ling also realized her gaffe, and she didn't want to make Xiaotian sad, so she quickly wiped away her tears and held Yang Xiaotian's arm.
Slowly, when they were about to arrive at the imperial capital after they had been gone for a few days, everyone showed sad faces, and no one spoke, because before that, I don't know who suddenly talked about the king of Qi and pulled them back into the cruel martial arts world. The people of the world are none other than the king's ministers, and the shore of the land is not the king's land, at least the imperial capital has a place to stay.
Yang Xiaotian saw everyone's worries, so he smiled slightly, and kept explaining: "It's okay, he can't kill me blatantly!
After hearing this, everyone also felt a little reasonable, and felt a little relieved, but they were still a little worried, after all, he was a prince wearing five golden silk dragon patterns!
In this way, they finally returned to the imperial capital, and the second master, Feng Youchu, as he said before, rented a house in a relatively secluded place near the academy, and the curtain spirit also followed Yang Xiaotian back to their residence, Zhulin Yuan, and of course, the phantom sword must have followed.
In order not to worry the president of the shogunate, Xiaotian had already sent someone to inform him, and said that he would go to ask for guilt in person later.
When he walked again
By the time he arrived at the Bamboo Forest Trail, the winter snow had already melted, and he remembered that when he left, he walked away on the heavy snow that had just fallen, and he was still thinking about how beautiful the Bamboo Forest Garden must be in the snow!
After all, the past year has ended, and now he is a year older, thirteen, a new year has quietly come, everything is a new beginning, when the time comes, there will be new freshmen in the academy, and they have bid farewell to the identity of freshmen forever.
On the other hand, one day, behind a rockery in a back garden, there is a small pond, the water is slightly red, but it is still crystal clear, there are small clusters of large and small fish, swimming around, looking vibrant, but in stark contrast, the bottom of the pond is scattered with fish skeletons with white flowers, which is very eerie.
There is a small sitting altar in the middle of the pond, and the little prince Nangong Yu is cultivating on it cross-legged and with his eyes closed.
Not far away, a middle-aged man, wearing a crown and a yellow robe, embroidered with five lifelike dragon patterns, with a noble and domineering temperament, this person is the Prince of Five Dragons above 10,000 people under the Wuyue Empire, the King of Qi Nangong Ao.
At this moment, he was smiling on his face, staring at the young man sitting on the altar with expressive eyes, and said with a smile: "Yu'er cultivates hard, and he is a good man of our royal family!"
Nangong Yu heard the familiar voice, his originally calm face was full of smiles, and he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of admiration.
I saw him stand up suddenly, jump up, come to the pond, kneel down and say, "I've seen Uncle Wang!"
King Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand, helped Nangong Yu up, looked directly at Nangong Yu with both eyes, his eyes were full of love, the breeze passed by, a faint smell of blood hit, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of smell is this!"
Nangong Yu turned around and pointed to the pond and said, "The smell of blood in the fish pond." ”
King Qi followed the direction of Nangong Yu's finger and looked into the pond, seeing that the water here was slightly red, and there were white bones at the bottom, he couldn't help frowning, his face was shocked, and said, "What's the situation?"
"Uncle Wang, look, in the corner over there, it's a piranha exclusive to the Lan Soul Empire!" Nangong Yu said, pointing to the corner of the pond.
King Qi followed the direction of Nangong Yu's finger and looked at the corner, only to see two ugly-looking fish covered with black stripes in the corner, as if asleep, motionless.
King Qi let out a "hmm", with a hint of doubt in his tone, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
"This piranha, ugly appearance, wide and exaggerated mouth, extremely strong bite, the most terrifying thing is that it has a row of very sharp fangs in its mouth, like a knife and saw, as long as it is bitten, it must tear off a piece of meat, and it is very cunning, it is a natural killer. As soon as Nangong Yu said it, it was like telling a story, and he talked endlessly.
King Qi kept staring at Nangong Yu, seeing that he was talking so seriously, as if he was enjoying it very much, his face was full of relief, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible.
Now that he is middle-aged, he is not confused, every time he sees Nangong Yu, it is as if he sees his young self, practicing hard, having a tough personality, and a strong desire to win, and always eager to prove himself, perhaps this is the reason why he raises piranhas in the pond, so that he is always in a state of life and death competition, in order to urge himself to work hard.
I saw him nodding his head incessantly, expressing his appreciation.
Nangong Yu saw that King Qi could hear it, and realized that he was a little reckless, and patronized it to say that the piranha, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Uncle Wang, there must be something wrong with you coming, right?"
King Qi let out an "oh", as if he had woken up from the enjoyment just now, and said, "There are not many things going on today, so I stopped by to take a look at Yu'er, how is the cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique now?"
"Although I have started to cultivate from beginning to end, the power I use is very limited, and I always feel that it is difficult to truly comprehend it. Nangong Yu lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed with loneliness, as if he was ashamed of the admirer in front of him, King Qi.
Seeing this, King Qi's eyes were full of expectation, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said: "The artistic conception of the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique is lofty, it is difficult to comprehend for a while, it is normal, Yu'er only needs to insist on cultivating hard, I believe that with your wisdom and extraordinary talent, you will be able to comprehend the true meaning of the sword in time." ”
Nangong Yu looked up at King Qi, his eyes were full of gratitude, and then he blinked his eyes, his face showed a look of admiration, nodded heavily, and replied: "Well, I will definitely cultivate the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique, kill Yang Xiaotian with my own hands, and dare to fight with me for a teacher!"
"Teacher Zheng?" asked King Qi suspiciously.
Nangong Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing, but now he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, so he could only tell him that the old dragon outside the Martial Arts Hall wanted to accept Yang Xiaotian as an apprentice that day, and was rejected by Yang Xiaotian.
Suddenly, King Qi's face became gloomy and terrifying, as if he was about to be furious, and it was extremely ugly.
"Uncle Wang and Yu'er said the wrong thing. Seeing this, Nangong Yu hurriedly blamed himself.
"Yu'er, that incident has passed, Yang Xiaotian will not appear again, as long as you seriously cultivate the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique, by the time he becomes complete, you will be the most promising young man in the empire. King Qi's face was serious, which proved his correctness in getting rid of Yang Xiaotian, and then taught Nangong Yu that he didn't want Yu'er to live in the shadow of others and couldn't extricate himself.
Nangong Yu read that expectation in Uncle Wang's eyes, and at the same time, he also read from Uncle Wang's words that Yang Xiaotian would definitely die.
