Chapter 459: Big Guys, Little Guys (Part II)
No matter from what point of view, Lin Wu is a small person who can't be smaller, if it weren't for Zhu Xi's promise to Su Wen, he would have died a long time ago, silently, and as humble as dust.
No one will miss him, no one will cry for him, and even when he dies, he may not even have a tombstone, but will be thrown into a mass grave like a dead dog.
But it was such a useless little person, but someone remembered him and risked his life to save him from the black prison of the Holy Inquisition.
And that person is not the horse master Xu Ying.
When Lin Wu knelt down in front of his life-saving benefactor, he didn't know who the other party was, and why did he save himself, now he was just a waste person, what was the value?
Lin Wu's eyes were glowing with a cloudy glow, because of the long period of torture, he had long been unable to see the scenery a foot in front of him, so he didn't even know whether Engong was a man or a woman.
And at this moment, an incomparably crisp voice suddenly sounded in front of Lin Wu.
"Don't ask anything, don't say anything, someone will naturally take you down to recuperate in a while, and I will come to see you in a few days." ”
Lin Wu listened to this voice, it seemed to be no different from a child, although the other party told him not to ask anything, but Lin Wu still pulled his voice almost dumb and asked.
"Dare to ask Engong's name!"
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed, and Lin Wuzhi felt a heart-piercing pain in his heart, but he trembled all over, insisted on not letting himself fall, and just lowered his head deeper.
A moment later, before Lin Wu fainted from the pain. The pain disappeared without warning, and he straightened up profusely in sweat. Not a word.
At the same time, he finally heard the childlike voice in front of him again.
"You can call me the old butler. ”
After saying this. The old butler waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward and took Lin Wu away.
The old housekeeper now looks no different from a seven or eight-year-old child, that is, the appearance of the little medicine boy when Su Wen first met, compared to the middle-aged man with dark eyes that Su Wen saw later, but he didn't know which was the true appearance of the old housekeeper.
Wasted all his strength, just to rescue such a waste from the black prison, no one knew what the old butler wanted to do.
No one even knew that the old butler had already set foot on human soil and came to the war-torn kingdom.
In fact. Even the current Demon High Priest, Demon General Hua Diao, and even the Venerable Demon His Royal Highness, have no idea about the whereabouts of the old butler.
The only one who knew about this matter was the Holy Maiden Asanatsu, but she kept absolutely silent, and she didn't mean to interfere with the old housekeeper's decision.
A hundred years ago, the demon race was a hierarchical race, and at the top of the pyramid, it was naturally the great demon lord, the strongest under the stars. Slaughter.
And under Tu Sheng, the four holy beasts, the seven priests, and the twelve demon generals were actually the same level of existence, and they also represented the top combat power of the demon race at that time.
But. Above them, below the Demon Lord, there are two more people.
One of them. It's the demon saintess, Qianxia.
Another one. It's the old housekeeper, Yi Weibo.
It's a pity. After the Holy War, although Qianxia escaped from the pursuit of the human powerhouse with the help of Shi ShengSima Qian, he was finally trapped in the swamp and did not see the light of day for a hundred years.
And the old butler Yi Weibo fled to the Southern Frontier Demon Domain, and even in order to save his life, he did not hesitate to quote the secret method of the demon race, surrendered himself, and fell all the way from the holy order to the realm of waiting.
After a hundred years of cultivation, the old butler became a half-saint again, if it weren't for Su Wen who went to the Southern Xinjiang Demon Domain by mistake and went to Yuecheng in Tianliang County, maybe the old butler would continue to hibernate, waiting for himself to return to the holy position, and then return with the supreme demonic power.
But the world is unpredictable, the sudden outbreak of the civil war of the human race, Su Wen's troubles in southern Xinjiang caused the demon emperor's vigilance against the foreign race, and the repeated letters from His Royal Highness and the high priest of the demon clan, so that the old housekeeper could no longer continue to be silent, so he could only go out of the mountain in advance.
Who would have thought that his first stop after leaving Southern Xinjiang was not to go to join all the demon comrades, but to come to the country.
After rescuing Lin Wu, the old housekeeper reluctantly glanced at the direction of the Forbidden Palace Imperial Garden, which seemed a pity, but he knew that with his current strength, it was obviously unrealistic to want to assassinate Emperor Wei.
So after a moment, the old butler withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look south.
It is Su Wen's hometown, Linchuan City.
He knew that the most important goal of his trip was there.
"Ahh
Tang Ji sat on the edge of the bed and sneezed fiercely, the sound was like thunder, almost knocking the bed board down, and his fat body shook a few times in response, and then he stopped restlessly.
"Could it be that Xiao Yun misses me?"
Tang Ji smirked, then stood up, walked to the window, quietly opened the window a thin slit, and looked at the somewhat deserted wooden building opposite.
It was still early at this time, and most of the girls in Chunxi Building were still sleeping, and only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was sweeping the snow in front of the door, although her body was tightly wrapped, she still couldn't stop the surging heaviness.
She is naturally Xiao Yun that Tang Fat Man never forgets.
But all the regular customers of Chunxi Building know that Xiao Yun can see Xiao Yun except for not accepting customers, doing all the other work, serving tea and water, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.
Although it seems that Xiao Yun is doing the things of the next person, whether it is the girl in Chunxi Mansion or the guests who come to spend a lot of money, they dare not look at Xiao Yun as a person.
For the people in Chunxi Building, Xiao Yun is like their family, warm as winter, while for outsiders, she is more like a white lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not stained, pleasing to the eye.
Whether it is Tang Ji's current position or his family background, if he really wants to marry Xiao Yun, it is more than enough no matter how you look at it.
Regardless of whether Old Man Tang would allow a Qinglou woman to be his daughter-in-law, if Tang Ji officially proposed to Chunxi Lou, I am afraid that even the legendary mysterious shopkeeper would be difficult to refuse.
Of course, the premise is that Xiao Yun must also be willing to marry.
In this regard, Tang Ji is very unsure, I still remember that a long time ago, he told Fang Xiaole that what he wanted was not a one-night romance, but love, as for what love is, I'm afraid Tang Ji still has no answer.
But there is one thing that Tang Ji dares to pack, and that is that he likes Xiao Yun.
Because when he was about to die in the mouth of gluttony, the last name he said in his heart was Xiao Yun.
Don't forget, if there will really be an echo, Tang Ji doesn't know, but now after he escaped death, the first person he wants to see is Xiao Yun.
Therefore, he returned to Linchuan City from the Holy City thousands of miles away, in order to take a look at Xiao Yun from such a distance.
But what makes people feel a little unbelievable is that it has been a month since Tang Ji returned to Linchuan City, but he has never walked into Chunxi Tower, let alone pulled Miss Xiaoyun to talk, but stayed in the inn opposite Chunxi Tower every day, just looking at her secretly.
stared at Xiao Yun behind the window for a while, until the other party finished sweeping the snow in front of the building and walked back to the door, Tang Ji reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
And in such a moment, the saliva left by the corners of Tang Ji's mouth has wet his placket, and it seems to be seen through the heavy cotton clothes that Tang Ji is now winding black ink lines on his body.
If Tang Ji took off his clothes at this time, then he would see that the skin below his neck had been covered with a dense layer of magic patterns that could not be scrubbed.
Tang Ji self-deprecatingly named it Gluttonous Pattern.
Enduring the hunger pangs in his stomach, Don Guy tried not to look at the endless stream of pedestrians outside the window, otherwise he was worried that he would not eat them.
To this day, Don Guy doesn't even know if he is human or not.
If it's human, then why would he want to eat people?
If not human, then what is he now?
Fortunately, Tang Ji was optimistic by nature, although he knew that there must have been some changes in his body that he didn't understand, but he was not panicked by this change, but quickly accepted it, and tried to convince himself that he was still alone.
People, of course, can't eat people.
So after returning to Linchuan City, Tang Ji didn't even dare to go home, but kept locking himself in this inn, not daring to take half a step.
He didn't dare to go to Chunxi Tower to catch up with Xiao Yun, even though the two were only one street apart.
Because he was scared.
He was afraid that he would not be able to resist it and eat her at that time.
"In two days, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to Bishui Pass!"
Tang Ji sighed softly, he knew that the only one who could save him now was the dean, and I heard that all the teachers and students of the academy were now in Bishui Pass, so the tea saint Lu Yu should also be there......
If he had gone according to what Tang Ji had envisioned, he was destined to be disappointed.
Because Lu Yu at this time is not in Bishui Pass.
Now that the war is raging outside the Bishui Pass, as the only sage who defends the country, the dean of Hongming Academy, the tea saint Lu Yu, is not supervising the war in the pass, so where is he?
He put the power of life and death of the soldiers of Bishui Guan into the hands of Xu Huanzhi, and put the mess of investigating the relationship between the Canglan Emperor and the high priest of the demon clan into the hands of the torturer, and even left his beloved disciple Su Yu, just because he had more important things to do.
It is also about the life and death of the country.
That is to refuse to help the country's reinforcements outside the country!
One qiē is because of the words of Cang Li before he died in the martial arts test of the Ten Nations Joint Entrance Examination.
He told Su Wen that it was the Su family of Jiguo who designed the ambush of Lesheng Li Guinian in the battle of abandoning the mountain decades ago!
Today, the chess hand laid by Cang Li has finally begun to play a vital role...... (To be continued......)
