215 Ulterior motives (2)
It was only in the evening that a sumptuous and delicious dinner was brought to prove that he had not been forgotten. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 From this, he also concluded that Shan Jiquan must have seen the thorn long ago - but the thorn's delay in appearing proved that she was probably out of her own hands.
Night falls - for this dungeon, it goes from darkness to total darkness. Jun Li didn't feel a little sleepy, but he still lay down, closed his eyes, and began to play with the mosquitoes around him a little bored. Naturally, they couldn't bite him—as long as the protective aura that even the raindrops that were dripping down that day had to go around. But this alone was still unpleasant, just because of the sound of mosquitoes, it was also annoying to listen to it, so he simply used enough ear power to argue the path of mosquitoes one by one, and scattered his mind to disturb their flight one by one, and hit the small flying objects with invisible qi to float around. While he was having fun, suddenly there was a noise from the cell door outside, as if someone was coming.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the "murderous aura" that he had been holding was indulged, and the mosquitoes that had already been dizzy by him suddenly suffered a huge impact, and more than a dozen of them fell to the ground. Jun Li had already sat up, but his heart sank slightly: this will not be a thorn. If she had been, she would have been able to hear her call herself.
The light of the lantern came in from the outside, and the dungeon gradually lit up, filling with a soft feeling. He heard footsteps. A lithe body is coming.
"Jun Li?" There was still a few distances, and the person who came spoke softly.
Jun Li was slightly stunned. The titles "Sister" and "Mrs. Shan" had been exchanged in his heart seventeen or eighteen times at that moment.
――Why is Gu Xiaomeng here?
Surprise and hesitation, just like the inner struggle when he eavesdropped on Xia Zheng and Shen Fengming's almost desperate words outside the seriously injured Chen Rongrong house in that small county town in Qingliu a few months ago. But some invisible hand always forces him to collide with fate, and does not give him time to think, and does not give him a second choice.
“...... Mrs. Shan. He stood up and addressed her as if there was more than the prison door between them.
Gu Xiaomeng didn't seem to care, and when he saw him, he stepped forward and said, "Are you okay?" I heard the thorn say this--I didn't know about it before...... I didn't know your brother-in-law gave such an order!"
"I ...... I'm fine. Seeing her like this, Jun Li was really a little at a loss.
Gu Xiaomeng seemed to be a little ashamed, "Jun Li, I haven't seen you for so long, but now it's like this-my sister really doesn't know how to explain it to you, just because your brother-in-law originally told me that he had sent you a letter, asking you not to come back for the time being, and didn't want you to get involved in this matter--but who knew that when he heard that you were coming, he actually ordered you to be detained, and he didn't even tell me." I had a fight with him, but he ...... He said that the matter had already been reported to the sect leader, and there was no room for change of mind. ”
"He really told the Blue Dragon Sect Leader ......?" Jun Licai muttered, "So, he really ......"
He paused and looked at Gu Xiaomeng. Her expression was like she didn't know how to tell the truth.
“...... Is he going to keep me hostage because of my relationship with Suzaku?" Jun Li spoke again.
When Gu Xiaomeng heard this, her face darkened, and she didn't dare to look at him. "You understand everything...... Jun Li, my sister can't stand you, I can't stop him, and I can't help you out. Now that the sect leader has known about this, everyone in the Qinglong Sect knows that you are the apprentice of Suzaku, and you will not be allowed to be released at this juncture, even if I have the heart to let you go, I will ......"
"It doesn't matter. Jun Li smiled instead, "Don't worry about me, I came by myself, I should have thought that there would be this layer." ”
"I just hope that this disaster will disappear quickly, and it won't really come to the point of meeting the Suzaku Blade. Gu Xiaomeng was still a little sad. "Jun Li, I know...... I know explanations are superfluous, but your brother-in-law ...... He is also for the Qinglong Sect, don't you blame him and hate him, okay? Even if he takes you as a hostage, he still wants to get a few more chances of winning in his hands to overpower Suzaku, but it is not aimed at you, and he will definitely not take you seriously-Sister can't do anything else, and he will always keep you safe here. If anyone really dares to touch you, my sister is not like this now, no matter who he is, I will also fight with my life to protect you, you can rest assured. ”
Jun Li knew that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and her heart was not without emotion, but also helpless. Maybe. Maybe no one wanted to hurt him. Don't talk about Gu Xiaomeng, Shan Jiquan and Xu Shan, if they have nothing to do on weekdays, they will definitely not be enemies with him. But if the two armies really meet and the two forces intersect, he is just a small chess piece in such a game, and if he gives up himself in exchange for a desired result, who cares about this chess piece? Shan Jiquan is so cunning and calculated, and he takes the lead in his hands, and it is no longer a matter of course.
"But I'm afraid he's going to be disappointed...... he just said softly, "he should know that my master-apprentice relationship with Suzaku ...... It was already broken. Caught me...... Oh, it's better than nothing. ”
Gu Xiaomeng listened to his voice softly and a little lonely, shook his head and said, "Jun Li, don't think about it so much, don't think about anything, it'll be fine." What do you want here, but tell your sister that is. When this incident passes, when you come out, I will ask your brother-in-law to compensate you!"
Seeing that Jun Li still had such a non-thick expression and did not answer, she lowered her eyebrows: "Sister also has a lot to say to you, but now like this, she can't say anything." Jun Li, you ...... Did you know ......?"
Jun Li waited for her to say something "do you know", but when she heard her voice, she suddenly choked, and her words were choked and she couldn't speak. He was stunned for a moment, and his heart ached slightly. She must have wanted to say that you know how your sister has worried about you and missed you since you were gone, but perhaps she was also afraid that he would always be just so cold or indifferent - she endured it for a long time, but she did not dare to vomit, so that she was sad and gaffe. To him, the parting that went to summer seemed to be far, far away, and he felt completely cut off from that home on that winter night when he threw the medallion. But after cutting off the Gu family, it will not cut off those Gu family people after all, not there, but also here.
Have you become harder than you were then? I used to cry secretly when I left, but now, except for a little pain in my heart, I don't have the urge to cry when I look at my righteous sister like this. Probably I have accepted this arrangement of fate, and I have been at peace with everything - this level of torture is only a dust-swept away.
"Mrs. Shan, don't be sad. He just said this, his tone was not cold, but not soft, just neither humble nor arrogant, as if the two of them were just nodding their heads. "You don't have to say it - I know your intentions. ...... I know. ”
Gu Xiaomeng still couldn't raise his head, so he said again: "What about the stinger?
When Gu Xiaomeng heard him mention the thorn, she flattened her tone and raised her head and said, "The thorn has locked up her father." When she came home today, your sister and wife were at the master's place, and she chased after her all the way, and made a big fuss when she went to the master's place, but for the sake of your brother-in-law, the master would never do anything to her, compared to you, she was just locked up at home. ”
The corners of Jun Li's mouth moved. "Hmm. He only said one word. The single thorn he knew, if he didn't make trouble for him, it wouldn't be her. But she really couldn't change Shan Jiquan's mind.
"If you can—can you please tell Shan Xianxian, I'd like to see him. Jun Li said, "I wonder if he will be willing to come here?"
"You want to see him?" but ......" Gu Xiaomeng hesitated, "I'm just afraid of him ......"
"Just talk to him. If he does not want to come, then he will do it. ”
Gu Xiaomeng nodded. "Okay, I'll tell him. ”
Jun Li watched Gu Xiaomeng's back with the lantern go away little by little, and saw that the halo faded, and the dungeon finally became dark again.
It must be getting late, and no matter what, Shan Jiquan won't be here today. Although Jun Li thought so, he didn't lie down anymore, just sat silently in the corner, not moving, silent.
He looked at the darkness of everything. Master, if you were still here, would you be happy or unhappy to see me like this now? I never thought that I would have to do anything else in this life except inherit your Taoism, but if I left you, it would be like being sucked in by the rivers and lakes step by step, and now I am contaminated with the chaos of the rivers and lakes, and even the fishiness of the temple, and I have inexplicably become a bargaining chip in the interests of others--Have you calculated it for me? I have not made much progress in the Taoism you confessed, but I have also learned martial arts--you will definitely scold me for not doing my job? However, I was not able to make a fuss when I meditated, meditated, and meditated, but now I can meditate in the dark like this—am I closer to the realm you are talking about?
He thought about many things, and gradually he also had a dream. Even though I just sit, I don't feel uncomfortable.
It wasn't until he woke up that he realized that he had indeed fallen asleep—that he had been asleep for a long time. What time is it now? It's still dark in this dungeon, and judging by the amount of light that passes through it from a distance, it shouldn't be dawn yet. Then how could he suddenly wake up?
He soon knew why he was awake. There are few voices in the distance. said that it was not dawn, but it was really extremely visible, but it could distinguish a faint figure by a little bit of skylight.
The figure didn't have a lantern with it, but just walked like this in the dark, I don't know if it was familiar with this place, or if it had excellent eyesight. Jun Li's mind turned. Is it Shan Jiquan? It's a dawn of the day—I'm afraid that several guards are sleeping, and he is coming?
He stood up in response to the arrival of the figure. Sure enough, the figure heard his voice, and his steps were a little solid, and a little faster, and he was already approaching.
"Did I wake you up?"
