"It's in our hands, don't think about struggling."

"This Tianluo net was specially made to prevent the sharks from escaping, and it is invulnerable, even if you have great ability, you can't escape!"

Lao Da "spitted" fiercely and spit out a mouthful of blood foam, "Look at your little one, you are very capable, and you actually knocked out all the teeth of Lao Tzu." He picked up his white face and said with a wicked smile: "This face is quite handsome, but I don't know if it will look better if it is carved with a flower on it?" ”

The brothers burst out laughing.

The corners of Lao Er's lips raised evilly, "Chop off his hands and feet, and then soak them in the potion I carefully concocted, and see if I can grow his limbs back, since the merman can't, people can always do it, right?" ”

"Don't worry, let him enjoy himself before chopping off his hands and feet." Lao San smiled lewdly and slowly took off his pants.

The brothers all laughed meaningfully, but in the next moment, a miserable scream resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately afterward, screams pierced the night sky one after another, until silence returned.

A wolf with a pure black body, with shiny dark skin, raised its head high in the moonlight, and there was a wisp of pure white in the middle of its head. The ice-blue eyes seemed to be a thousand-year-old ice cellar, and the ice was piercing.

It roared under the moon rings and disappeared into the night.

"Listen, what is this sound?"

"It's a wolf, there's a wolf here! Let's go! ”

Ximen Zhong was pushed onto the boat by the little servant and urged to leave.

Zhao Yuanling was reluctant to go first, "I have to wait for Mo Bai a little longer." ”

"What are you waiting for! Wait a minute, the wolves will come and eat us all. ”

"Yes, little boy, or let's go first, that's a wolf, we can't beat it."

Ximen Zhong snorted coldly, and finally picked up the child's shelf, "If you want to go, you swim back by yourself, I will stay and wait for my benefactor." ”

Sure enough, Mo Bai didn't break his promise, and in less than half an hour, he had already appeared in front of Zhao Yuanling.

His clothes were torn in half, and only a few strands of tattered cloth hung from his body, revealing his strong chest.

His face seemed to be injured, and the corners of his mouth showed bruises, and he wiped them fiercely with his hands, as if frowning at pain.

However, this did not affect his appearance at all, and it was this scar that made his perfect appearance flawed and more real.

Ximen Zhong's gaze at Mo Bai was a little more fanatical.

"Where are we going now?"

The boat departed slowly, little by little, towards the shore.

Zhao Yuanling didn't think about it, and directly reported a name: "Muzu Temple." ”

When the group arrived at the temple, the monks arranged accommodation for them.

After learning that Ximen Zhong was the son of the city lord, the elder came to greet him in person.

Ximen Zhong, who had walked through the ghost gate, knelt down gratefully and thanked him after seeing the statue of Muzu, and his heart that had been tense finally relaxed in this sandalwood swirling.

The little guy looked at his master behind him and bowed down reverently, and couldn't help but sigh, and said with emotion: "It seems that the city lord is right to let the little boy come out to practice, you see how calm he has become now." ”

"Yes, yes, in the past, the little boy was disdainful when he encountered the temple, but now he knows how to bow down."

"This is called the fear of the gods, and if the lady knew, I don't know how happy she would be......"

A few little guys are silly and happy.

Ximen Zhong, who seriously kowtowed a few times, stood up and gave each of them a slap in the face.

"It's not that you took away the master's token, otherwise how could I be involved in such a thing? Now it's okay, what Daddy ordered is messed up, and you're ready to punish me! ”

The little guy heard it and wailed again and again, "It's obvious that you threw the token to us, not to mention that we didn't come to pick you up?" ”

The four of them were quite weak and did not dare to look at him directly, they played happily outside, and it was not until dark that they realized that the little boy had not returned.

So we discussed rowing to the island.

"If we knew that you were so frightened by this token, we wouldn't have dared to take it."

Ximen Zhong snorted coldly, "It seems that my popularity is still too low, and they won't recognize the master if they can't see the token." ”

The little guy couldn't help but mutter, "Shouldn't you remember to bring silver taels when you go out?" ”

Muzu Temple, in Zhao Yuanling's wing.

She returned here again, and for the first time, she felt that the temple was such a quiet and peaceful place, which really soothed her soul and calmed her mind.

The sandalwood fragrance in the temple is still very strong, and the sound of the bamboo forest not far away is quiet, which is quiet and pleasant.

Knowing that they had come in a hurry at night, the monk also served them a pot of tea.

Zhao Yuanling poured two cups, and handed one to Mo Bai.

She told her about today's events, and then asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

"It's the minister's fault that the princess was frightened."

He leaned over slightly, his sparkling eyes shining as he looked at her. The jaw is angular and angular, like a work of art.

When Zhao Yuanling looked at him, that familiar feeling spread in his heart, and he was eager and enthusiastic.

It was as if I could hear my own heartbeat.

Anyone who rescues himself from such a crisis can't be thrilled, right?

It's just human nature, she comforted her like this, and let her heart return to peace.

Zhao Yuanling turned his head quietly, "What I'm asking is what to do about this matter?" ”

Whether to take this trip to the troubled waters, Zhao Yuanling is still hesitating.

She naturally wants to save the merman, but if she does this, she will be the enemy of the fishermen of the entire Linglong Ruins, or even the entire Lianyun City.

There are so many benefits at stake that those who benefit from them don't care how they come from.

They only care about the value of the thing.

She is no longer the reckless princess Zhao Yuanling who used to be.

She knew that there were too many civilians who could not help themselves to become the lowest level of all living beings.

There is so little they can do that if they are not careful, they will be worried about their lives.

Now that she and Mo Bai are in the same boat, if she is reckless, then he will inevitably be implicated.

A pair of watery eyes fell on that delicate and flawless face.

She asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The dim candle flame flickered in her eyes, one bright and one dark.

Mo Bai looked at the overlapping and overlapping figures of the two and groaned.

In the past, Zhao Yuanling would never ask this question. Mo Bai knew that if she said that if she wanted to save it, she would save it, and she would firmly choose what she believed to do, even if there were thousands of obstacles.

Mo Bai never felt that there was anything right or wrong about her choice, even if he couldn't help himself with an egg hitting a stone, he would do his best to achieve it for her.

He will always be her sharpest blade and strongest shield.

Does her sword-wielder need to ask for the opinion of the blade in her hand?

No, you don't.

Mo Bai lowered his eyebrows, a row of long and thick eyelashes covered his eyes, and his voice was firm and crisp, "The princess's choice is my choice." ”

There was no fluctuation in his voice, and Zhao Yuanling couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.

"Mo Bai, you look up." The expression between Zhao Yuanling's eyebrows and eyes was serious and serious, with the majesty of a familiar superior.

"I know that I used to be self-willed and reckless, but now you and I are companions, and our lives are closely linked.

I don't want to hurt us all because of my recklessness, after all, there are people outside the world, and you and I will not always be lucky to favor that side. ”

The inky white fingers curled up slightly, and then quietly let go. The surface is calm, but the bottom of the eyes is turbulent.

It's all his fault.

It's because she doesn't have the ability to do things so carefully. Mo Bai really wanted to tell Zhao Yuanling that he would obey all the decisions she made.

She is his master, and she can make decisions about his every move.

He will not regret it, he will not resist, he will only obey.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the arrogance in his eyes had dissipated, and they became warm and peaceful.

"The princess can listen to the news I heard earlier."

Mo Bai narrated the investigation of the two brothers of the Zhang family, "Zhang Yuanqing and Zhang Yuanji are siblings, and after General Jin Wu, the difference between the two is fifteen years.

General Jin Wu was only a martial artist at the beginning, and he had no kinship in the court, and he was still unknown and no one mentioned him before he was nominated.

And when he sat on the position of general, he only had eight years of marching experience, and he had few meritorious achievements. ”

"Then why was he chosen to be a general?"

Zhao Yuanling frowned, the general is the supreme glory that every soldier wants.

If you are a famous general, you can make up for it, but you also have to experience five or six years in the camp.

How many goalkeepers are waiting to make up for their children and grandchildren, which is the hard work of their whole life and several generations.

How is it possible to casually let a civilian sit still?

A soldier in a cloth coat is only a lieutenant for ten years, or even twenty years.

Unless he is outstanding enough to attract the attention of the emperor, or has made great achievements in repeated battles, it is possible to be promoted to the position of general.

But the few meritorious deeds have shown that Zhang Lide is not too outstanding, how can it take eight years to sit in the position of general?

It sounds almost incredible.

"Could it be that someone is deliberately hiding their background?"

Mo Bai immediately denied it, "Zhang Lide's parents are cloth, and his ancestors have cultivated the land for generations, so it doesn't take much effort to find out." And when he joined the army, he also joined the army because there was no food to eat at home, so he went to the barracks to ask for a bite to eat. ”

"His wife also met through the media, a village, there is no special background, and the three generations are ordinary people."

Mo Bai paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and continued: "He was just an inconspicuous soldier, but I found out that a little strange thing is that since his second son Zhang Yuanqing was born, it seems that his luck has come.

A raid in the north of the city was wiped out, but he was the only one who escaped and ran back to Zhao. So he joined the Lingnan battalion again, and although he won the battle, only he and a few elite soldiers were left alive.

It wasn't until later that he entered the Beiwei army, the enemy raided and wanted to burn the rations and was found by him, I heard that he happened to be out on the toilet at that time, so he made a meritorious service, but the battle was still lost, they were surrounded by the enemy, he was sent to find reinforcements, and in that battle, he was the only one alive. ”
