Chapter 62: Reunion after a long absence
Facing this person standing in front of them, the three sisters and brothers of the Yuanyang family were surprised and delighted, this person is the best memory of childhood for them, both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Ao Qingluo, is it really you, why are you here?" Yuan Yangnuo couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, staring directly at the red-haired girl in front of him, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen some rare treasure, this may be the only person he wants to see tonight.
Different from the excitement on Yuan Yang Nuo's face, the faces of the sisters Yuan Yang Xiuhong and Yuan Yang Xiulan were much more complicated, with joy, but more doubts and confusion.
You must know that Qinglong's first order after taking power was to imprison everyone in the Ao family, regardless of their relatives near or far, in the Ao family's mansion and guarded by heavy soldiers. But in front of her, Ao Qingluo was standing in front of the three of them, she was Ao Lengshuang's niece, although she was not a big person in the Ao family, but after all, the people of the Ao family, the important relationship between them was self-evident, and now she appeared in the living room of Yuanyang's house in a grand manner, and it was a late night visit, if Qinglong knew, the blame was small, if you suspected that the Ao family and the Yuanyang family were secretly colluding, the matter would be big, so the hearts of the two were also extra cautious.
Yuanyang Xiuhong thought for a moment, and said to the attendants in the living room: "You all go down first, close the doors and windows of the living room, no one will come and disturb without my order!" The tone was majestic, as if he was the head of the Yuanyang family, and the attendants immediately put down the men in their hands and left the living room in a hurry.
Seeing that the attendants were all gone, and there were finally only five people left in the living room, Yuanyang Xiuhong and Yuanyang Xiulan showed a slight smile, and walked towards Ao Qingluo with a smile, "Qingluo, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
"My sister bothered, it's okay, but I don't know what tomorrow will be?" Ao Qingluo's face showed a wry smile, now she is no longer a question of whether she is good or not, but a matter of her life.
Yuan Yangnuo on the side was also worried, took Ao Qingluo's hand, and expressed his concern: "It's okay, there is me." Yuan Yangnuo thought about it for a while, and added, "And my sister!"
Ao Qingluo suddenly smiled, looking at Yuan Yangnuo's concern, a warm current also welled up in her heart, and she couldn't stop smiling and nodding at Yuan Yangnuo.
"Cough, cough" Yuanyang Xiuhong coughed lightly twice, the two of them let go of their hands in embarrassment, Yuanyang Xiuhong walked straight to Sha Ying, glanced at him, the two walked to the side, Yuanyang Xiuhong asked with some anger: "Fifth brother, what are you doing here, why did you bring her here, shouldn't she have heard it in the Ao family's mansion? Did you tell Qinglong about this? Or did you claim ...... without permission?"
"Brother and sister, don't get me wrong, you listen to my explanation, this matter is indeed my own decision, that's because I know that this Ao Qingluo is not as good as the rest of the Ao family, she and your Yuanyang family are also very fateful, as for the story, I don't need to say more, since the Ao clan was imprisoned, Qinglong ordered me to bring someone to guard, she took the initiative to find me, and wanted me to help meet with you, I also see her as unusual, and I also hope that she can bring a ray of life to the Ao clan, so I took the risk to bring her to meet you. As he spoke, Sha Ying fell to one knee and bowed his head deeply.
"Sister, don't blame Brother Sha, it's all Qingluo's bad, it was I who begged him so hard that he agreed to bring me to see you, I ...... I have something to say to you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance tomorrow" Ao Qingluo saw Sha Ying kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead, her eyes turned red after a while, and her eyes were full of tears.
Seeing this, Yuan Yang Nuo suddenly became anxious, and just wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he was grabbed by Yuan Yang Xiulan and shook his head vigorously at him.
Yuanyang Xiuhong turned her head to look at Chu Chu's moving Ao Qingluo, and her heart was also sour, this moving appearance, fiery hair, couldn't help but remind her of the past......
Ao Qingluo's mother Ao Lengmei was in her prime, beautiful and moving, and won a lot of admirers at that time, including Yuanyang Xin, the head of the Yuanyang family at the time, Yuanyang Xin was a young man, and was deeply trusted by the demon king and the god king, plus he was talented and intelligent, doing business everywhere, and accumulated a large amount of wealth, and was considered the elite of the demon clan at that time, and every time he came back from doing business abroad, he would take the opportunity to send Ao Lengmei a small gift he brought, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, countless, and it was also rumored to be a good story at the time, although both families were interested in matching the newcomer。
It's a pity that Jiang Lang is intentional, the goddess has no intention, Ao Lengmei is just like her name, proud, cold and gorgeous, although there are many suitors, but no one can get close to her, let alone touch her heart, Yuan Yangxin is also hitting walls everywhere. Until her sister Ao Lengshuang married the demon king Baizu and became the demon queen, Ao Lengmei's temperament suddenly changed greatly, regardless of the opposition of the family, she insisted on marrying a little-known demon general, and left the Ao family with her husband alone and left the demon king palace. This broke the hearts of many people at that time, of course, there was Yuan Yang Xin, the infatuated Yuan Yang Xin sent Ao Lengmei 10,000 taels of gold as a gift to wish the two of them happiness, but they were all rejected by Ao Lengmei, and the heartbroken Yuan Yang Xin also married another demon woman according to the family arrangement shortly after Ao Lengmei left. The two had nothing to do with it, until a few years later, when they got the unfortunate news of Ao Lengmei's family, Yuan Yangxin suddenly fell seriously ill, and at this time he already had Yuanyang Xiuhong and Yuan Yangnuo, a son and a daughter. Both of them still remember their father's haggard state at that time, and that was the only time they saw his father crying bitterly.
After Ao Qingluo was taken back to Ao Qingluo's house, Yuan Yangxin intended to let his daughter and son play with Ao Qingluo, Ao Qingluo was not valued in Ao Qingluo's family, but in Yuanyang's house, he felt a lot of care, what is delicious and fun Yuan Yangxin will let his pair of children share with Ao Qingluo, over time, the relationship between the three is getting better and better, plus she is also red-haired, so, unconsciously, the market began to speculate about the relationship between Ao Qingluo and the Yuanyang family, and Yuan Yangxin's hard pursuit of Ao Lengmei was well known, so this message became more and more fierce, so that in the end, even the demon king asked about it。
But Yuan Yangxin didn't seem to take it to heart at all, and continued to take care of Ao Qingluo from time to time, even if there was Yuanyang Xiulan later, he often let several children play together and take care of each other, that is, in those innocent days, several people established a friendship similar to relatives, the three sisters and brothers of the Yuanyang family even regarded Ao Qingluo as their sisters, and Yuan Yangnuo secretly had feelings for Ao Qingluo.
However, as they grew older, the messages from the outside world finally reached the ears of several children, and the children finally grew up, these gossips eventually became a barrier between them, and slowly everyone became estranged intentionally or unintentionally.
Things are people, a hundred turns and thousands of times, Ao Qingluo appeared in front of the three of them again, still with such red hair, still so beautiful, the feelings that had long been extinguished in Yuan Yangnuo's heart were completely ignited again, and even more vigorous than before.
Looking at Yuan Yangnuo's stupid appearance, Yuan Yang Xiuhong felt helpless, and her heart still retained a lot of beauty for this childhood friend.
Yuan Yang Xiuhong showed a kind smile, as if looking at a long-lost relative, and carefully looked at Ao Qingluo in front of him, "You are getting more and more beautiful, no wonder my brother is obsessed with you, hehe" A joke that seemed to be true or not was true, which suddenly made Chu Chu's moving Ao Qingluo burst into tears and laughed; "Sister, you are joking with me again, Brother Nuo, you are looking at me in danger and worrying about me." ”
"It's good to smile, it's rare to meet again after a long absence, don't cry, you see my brother's anxious face" Yuanyang Xiulan on the side grabbed Ao Qingluo's arm and said with a smile, but her eyes couldn't stop looking at Yuanyangnuo on the other side.
"You tease me too!" Ao Qingluo looked ashamed and angry, and reprimanded Yuanyang Xiulan. His eyes involuntarily looked at Yuan Yangnuo, and when he saw his anxious look, his heart was full of warmth.
Seeing a few people talking and laughing, Sha Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "Fifth brother, get up quickly, you have bothered a lot, but this matter should be kept secret, and it will be good for all of us, isn't it?" Yuan Yang Xiuhong looked at Sha Ying with a serious face, and there was a sharp look in his eyes, looking at Sha Ying, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, I understand, you can rest assured, you will never leak any news"
"Sister, I took the risk to come today, not for anything else, but I hope you can save me and save the lives of our clan" Ao Qingluo suddenly knelt down in front of Yuanyang Xiuhong, crying," Aunt she deserves it, and her brothers are all innocent, but there are more than 500 people in our family, not all of whom are traitors and evil people, and they are not clear about their tricks, they are completely obedient to orders, but now they all have to be buried together, which is really wronged, I hope my sister can see Uncle Xin's face, for the sake of the past relationship between our two families, explain to the demon king a lot, and leave us a way to live!" Ao Qingluo became more and more sad the more she spoke, and her tears kept dripping on the floor.
"Sister, the first evil is dead, the rest of the Ao family, you and your brother-in-law will let them live" Yuan Yangnuo saw Ao Qingluo's tears, his heart became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but ask for mercy for them, the anger of the Ao family has long been forgotten over the years.
Yuan Yang Xiuhong's face was embarrassed, he looked at his infatuated brother, and then at his childhood friend on the ground, and his eyebrows became more and more entangled, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the Ao family made a mess this time, and even forced the demon king to death, this is the most unforgivable thing for Qinglong, if it weren't for what the God King said at the time, it is estimated that the people of the Ao family have been thrown into the pool of blood at this time......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was as pale as earth, Yuan Yang Xiuhong sighed, picked up Ao Qingluo on the ground, took her hand and continued: "I don't want to save your life, you see Yuan Yang Nuo's appearance when he sees you, I know his thoughts, even if I don't mention him, just as the relationship between us, I will try my best to persuade Qinglong." ”
Ao Qingluo saw hope again, and couldn't help but hold Xiuhong's hand tightly, "Sister, willing to help!"
"However, there is one thing that must be asked to you in advance" Yuanyang Xiuhong stared at Ao Qingluo and said with a serious face.
Ao Qingluo immediately realized that this was to ask herself how she felt about Yuan Yangnuo, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her face was also crimson, she lowered her head and whispered, "Sister, me and Brother Nuo ......"
Yuanyang Xiuhong smiled slightly, "This matter is not important, I am going to ask, what should your Ao family do next?"
"What should I do?" Sister is asking......" As soon as she heard that it was not what she was thinking, Ao Qingluo suddenly sighed, and the shyness on her face turned into embarrassment.
"I want to ask, now that Ao Lengshuang is dead, and Ao Tian is also imprisoned, your Ao family must always elect the next leader, can he ensure that all the Ao family members can behave in a proper manner? can all obey the orders of the demon king?
Yuanyang Xiuhong expressed the worry in his heart, it is true that killing the Ao clan is not the best way, but who can guarantee that the Ao clan will not be angry, in the final analysis, it is also the first family of the demon clan, the tree has deep roots, if there is really another Ao cold frost, it is estimated that the consequences will be unimaginable, which is also an important reason for Qinglong to detain the clan.
"I understand my sister's worries, what do you think of me, can I bear the burden of the Ao family?" Ao Qingluo said lightly, but Yuan Yang Xiuhong was taken aback, and the others present were shocked, everyone couldn't help but look at this red-haired girl again, still with a young face and a charming face, I didn't expect her to want to take on the fate of the Ao clan.
"You? Not kidding? Although you are the niece of Ao Lengshuang, with your qualifications, can you really be those old men in the Allah clan? Yuanyang Xiulan looked at Ao Qingluo with a suspicious expression, this woman is not much older than herself, and she still hides such ambitions.
"The current Ao family has long lost the original arrogance, and now the lives of the clan are in danger, naturally whoever can save the lives of the Ao family will be the head of the family, if it weren't for the recognition of the old people in the clan, I wouldn't have come here rashly to find help from the Yuanyang family." Ao Qingluo looked at everyone with an affirmative face, and could see that everything she said was true, Yuanyang Xiuhong was immediately impressed by her, it seemed that she came prepared.
"Then sister, can you guarantee that the people of the proud family will have no second heart?Can you afford this responsibility, if something happens, I'm afraid no one will be able to protect you......" Yuan Yang Xiuhong's face sank and asked forcefully.
"Sister, you can rest assured, the Ao family is now a frightened bird, and the Ao family's military power has been taken back by the Demon King, it is estimated that there will be no more in the future, and the Ao family will no longer have the ability to fight against the Demon King, as long as they can save their lives, they naturally want to spend the rest of their lives peacefully, this, I can guarantee that as long as I serve as the head of the Ao family, the Ao family should completely surrender to the Demon King and the Yuanyang family. The three sisters and brothers of the Yuanyang family looked at each other again, they understood that this was Ao Qingluo's intention on the surface, if they really subdued the Ao family, the Yuanyang family would naturally be in full swing, after all, it would become the largest family of the demon clan. However, Yuanyang Xiuhong is not so easy to fool, she still smiled faintly: "Sister Qingluo, our Yuanyang family has no intention of annexing your Ao family, the life and death of the Ao family is not up to us, it is the demon king Qinglong who really controls life and death, do you understand!"
"My sister understands that I am unstoppable, as long as my sister believes in me and supports me, I will definitely make the Ao family completely surrender to the demon king. Ao Qingluo stared straight at Yuan Yang Xiuhong, her eyes full of longing.
"Okay, in that case, you will go with me to see the Demon King tonight and let him decide in person, but don't worry, I will definitely help you!" Yuan Yang Xiuhong grabbed Ao Qingluo's hand tightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Fifth brother, you can go with us, you still need your help in this matter, don't you" Yuanyang Xiuhong has not forgotten Sha Ying, this crime of privately releasing criminals, Yuanyang Xiuhong will not stop herself.
"Yes" Sha Ying still had a smile on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart, he knew that this was for him to be held responsible.
At the door of Yuanyang's house, the three of them rode the demon beast and quickly ran towards the Demon King Palace, and Yuanyang Nuo and Yuanyang Xiulan stood at the door and watched the three of them disappear into the night.
"Let's go, my infatuated brother, with my sister here, even if I don't have a proud family, Sister Qingluo will be fine" Yuanyang Xiulan sneered at Yuanyang Nuo.
"What do you know, I just look at her as a weak woman, taking on the fate of a family, and I pity her," Yuan Yangnuo defended.
"She's a weak woman, I see, so many people see her as weak, in my opinion, she is no worse than her sister now, and she will be a powerful character in the future, just like you, she may not be able to restrain her, it seems that the men of our Yuanyang family are going to be hurt by the women of the Ao family again!Hey...... It's fate!" Yuanyang Xiulan dropped a sentence, snickered and returned to the mansion by herself, leaving Yuanyang Nuo to stand at the door stupidly.
Yuan Yangnuo reacted after listening to it for a long time, and hurriedly chased after him, "What do you mean, laugh at me!"
However, not far from the Yuanyang family's mansion, a pair of eyes were really staring at every move here, "You go and follow those three people to see if they are going to find Qinglong, I will report to the master first." The man in black in the lead commanded behind him.
"Yes" A deep voice came from the black shadow, and a black shadow flew quickly in the direction of the Demon King Palace. And the leading man in black quickly disappeared into the night.
