Realizing the severe pain in his left arm, Shangguan Hong immediately let go of his right hand, and he unconsciously picked out several bleeding wounds on his arm.

Strangely enough, he had been so afraid of being hurt that he shuddered at the thought of it, but now he felt as addicted to the hot pain as the wine.

Shangguan Hong followed Shangguan Ru on the orders of Queen Ju, and arrived at Tongtian Pass several days late, but everything was late, and her half-sister seemed to have cast a spell, and in a short time she became one of the most high-profile figures in and around the city, and there was even news that Prince Dotun had become infatuated with her and was willing to pay any price for it.

Shangguan Hong felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, how could he beat her? Martial arts, wisdom, and popularity, all of which were too far behind, and his only advantage was a letter in his arms.

However, it was more difficult than imagined to send this letter, and the identity of Queen Ju's messenger did not have much influence in Tongtian Pass, and he had been sitting at the gate of the general's palace like a beggar for almost two hours, his stomach was growling with hunger, but the guards at the gate only threw him one word: "Wait." ”

When he finally met Shang Liao, his confidence had fallen to the bottom, but he still had to carry out the task given by the queen.

The queen was the only tree he had clinged to to parasitism, and she was not yet tall, and he had to wait patiently, and show unusual loyalty when she was weak.

Shang Liao behaved very coldly, took the letter from the servant's hand, skimmed it hastily, and returned it to the servant, and the servant returned to its original owner.

"I don't understand what that means. Shang Liao picked up the teacup as if to speak to it.

Shangguan Hong stood a few steps away, licking his dry lips, "That's what the Dragon King has given the queen the power to manage the Dragon Army. ”

"Well, strictly speaking, the dragon army is in the free sea, and I only have Shule Fu [***] under my command, if the queen wants me to know about this, then please go back and tell her, I know. ”

"That's not all. Shangguan Hong's voice was dull, feeling that he was completely doing a stupid thing, and it was impossible for him to convince General You, even if the queen came in person.

"Oh?"

Shangguan Hong glanced at several servants in the room and said that it was not suitable to discuss secrets here, but Shang Liao tasted tea slowly as if he hadn't noticed, waiting for him to continue.

"That's right, the queen thinks that some people may be swaggering and deceiving under the banner of the dragon king, and the generals of the dragon army should be wary of this. ”

"To be direct, I don't understand women's riddles. Shang Liao said in a commanding tone.

"Up...... Shangguan Ru, she is the favorite daughter of King Dubu, although there has been a dispute between father and daughter, but as long as the father says a word, won't the daughter change her mind......?

"The most trusted person. Shang Liao put down the teacup, stood up, and made a send-off, "The country of incense, the flame horse, with all due respect, any of them means that the Dragon King has full trust in Shangguan Jiaotou, and his persuasiveness is far stronger than this letter...... I don't know what the queen thinks of vague letters, but her duty and obligation is to assist the dragon king in internal affairs, and if I were to propose the establishment, she should run the palace well, and give birth to a prince for the dragon king. ”

Although he knew that the result would be like this, Shangguan Hong was still red-faced when he walked out of the general's mansion, he understood that Queen Ju had little influence in the power system of the Dragon Army, but experiencing this humility made him feel humiliated.

When the mission is over, he can go back and tell the rudeness of General Right and add another name to the queen's list of hatreds, but the powerful revenge is still far away, and he now suspects that even if he returns to Xiaoyaohai, the queen will not be able to take too much power from Zhong Heng and Dugu Xian.

Shangguan Hong went out of the city in despair, found a small shop selling wine and meat, drank bad wine, chewed jerky, had no taste in his mouth, and his heart was churning.

He hated the snobbery of Jinpeng Castle, the cruelty of Shangguan Fei, the cold arrogance of Shangguan Ru, the indifference of the Dragon King, the condescension of Shang Liao, and even the powerlessness of the queen and the annihilation merchants who sold him wine and meat: the little food of poor Baba was even more expensive than that in Biyu City.

Even the pedestrians on the street made him feel angry, there were wars and deaths everywhere, why didn't he stay at home honestly, he had to run around? The Western Regions is not a paradise, he wants to tell the truth loudly to these dazed refugees, this is hell, your little property is not enough for a month's expenses, and then you will sell your sons and daughters, and you will become a slave yourself.

It is full of stupid lives, and some people are even so happy that they finally come to the Western Regions, and Shangguan Hong has an urge to kill people on the street......

He didn't have the courage, and in the face of an unsatisfactory life and a miserable world, his only way to deal with it was to sleep with the strength of alcohol.

Two young scoundrels walked over, gave him a few nudges, and found that he was unresponsive, so they searched and led their horses one by one, and quickly ransacked the gloomy guests.

The shopkeeper turned around and went about his business, not wanting to see anything.

Shangguan Hong quarreled with the shopkeeper, desperately wanting to kill, only to find that even the knife was gone, but the shopkeeper and several guys were holding a meat chopping knife like a panel in their hands.

He was the son of the Lord of Jinpeng Castle, and he was good enough to deal with a few ordinary people, but he retreated anyway.

As night fell, Shangguan Hong had nowhere to go, but after a good night's sleep, he was even more miserable than the street refugees he had secretly laughed at.

He walked into the city, intending to have the cheekiness to ask the general's palace for help, but before he reached the city gate, he turned and left, telling himself that he would rather starve to death than accept a second humiliation.

In fact, he knew that there was a person in Tongtianguan who would definitely help, Shangguan Ru, although he never had a good impression of his half-brother, but he would not see him without food and clothing.

That slut had a stupid kindness, thinking that this would wash away the evil things she had done when she was a child, Shangguan Hong thought hatefully, and vetoed this path at a faster speed.

Eventually, he decided to do what he should have done a long time ago: the killer and the robber were meant to be one family.

The son of King Dubu was going to be a robber, and Shangguan Hongzhen wanted to announce this decision loudly and let the news reach Jinpeng Castle.

He silently walked out into the wilderness outside the village, hiding in a tree.

It was already dark, and the chill of early autumn came, and Shangguan Hong shivered.

Pedestrians were scarce, and a few knights passed by, all of them were Beiting cavalry, and Shangguan Hong didn't dare to attack.

The old and young family walked, and before the figure appeared, the voice came: "Walk for a while, there will be something to eat in front." ”

Obviously, the family didn't have much to grab.

Slowly, the lights in the distant villages went out one by one, indicating that the first day of Shangguan Hong's robber career was likely to be fruitless.

He curled up on the branches, ready to spend the night.

As soon as he closed his eyes, wanting to have a dream of fine clothes and jade food, a gentle hoof sound came, and Shangguan Hong suddenly shook his spirits.

By the moonlight, Shangguan Hong could see clearly that there were two women approaching, one riding a donkey and the other walking.

Experienced robbers would have thought at this time, how could a woman dare to go out of the village in the middle of the night? Shangguan Hong had only one thought, he had been unlucky all day, and luck was finally willing to favor him, and he didn't even notice an obvious strangeness: the two women were actually holding umbrellas.

Shangguan Hong jumped off the tree, his limbs had not been stretched for too long, and his knees were weak when he landed, and he almost fell, he wanted to say a few cruel words, but he was stunned by two words, "I want money." ”

The walking woman was shocked and said, "Is this how all beggars beg for money now?"

"I'm not a beggar, I'm a ......"

The woman on foot put away the umbrella, Shangguan Hong vaguely felt a little familiar, and when the woman riding the donkey also showed her face from under the umbrella, Shangguan Hong's soul flew away, turned around and ran away, and fell on the road after only taking one step, "Yes, I'm sorry, I, I don't, I don't know it's you." ”

The lotus girl bowed her head and said to Han Xuan, "Look, I said that we will meet acquaintances." ”

Han Xuan had very little contact with Shangguan Hong, and after approaching, he looked carefully for a while before he suddenly remembered, "Aren't you the eunuch next to the queen......?" Have you become a beggar? Is my young lady okay?"

"Well, uh, I don't know, I've been out of the Stone King's Palace for a while. Shangguan Hong looked at the lotus girl, he was taken to the Dragon Court with the queen, this female demon should be clear about this.

I don't know if it's because of the night and moonlight, or because of the white clothes, Shangguan Hong feels that the lotus girl seems to have changed a little, becoming ethereal, like a fairy, and like a ghost.

"How much do you want?" asked the Dutch girl.

"No, no, I don't want money, I just beg you to let me live. Shangguan Hong lay on the ground and got up without a face.

"I didn't want to kill you, what did you say to let you live?"

Shangguan Hong suddenly came to his senses, "Do you know I'm here?"

Han Xuan unceremoniously twisted Shangguan Hong's head and let him look at him, "Tell me about my young lady, how was she when you left?"

"Well, well, everybody likes her, it's just that sometimes she misses you. ”

Han Xuan sighed, finally satisfied, and walked back to the Dutch girl.

The lotus girl handed the umbrella in her hand to Han Xuan, "I made a special trip to the far away, but I didn't come to look for you." ”

Hunger and desperation made Shangguan Hong's mind spin rapidly, he suddenly changed his posture, knelt on the ground, and said eagerly: "I am here on the order of the queen...... You also hate Shangguan Ru, don't you? Actually, the Dragon King doesn't like the queen at all, you want to ......"

The Lotus Girl only moved a look, Shangguan Hong felt the murderous aura surging like a tide, and trembled all over, he knew that he was wrong, this was not what the Lotus Girl wanted to hear, "I hate everyone in the Shangguan family, the Imperial Master, accept me, I am willing to join Xiaoyue Hall and serve you as a dog and horse." ”

"What about the Dragon King, do you hate him?"

This is a difficult question to answer, a wrong sentence may never be undone, Shangguan Hong wanted to seek a hint from the face of the lotus girl, but he got nothing, he didn't even dare to look directly into those eyes.

"Hate. He said, "The dragon king is the root of everything, and it is he who indulges the twins in their misdeeds." ”

The Dutch girl was silent for a moment, "So, what you want is not money. ”

"Revenge!" Shangguan Hong shouted, "I want revenge." ”

"At any cost?"

"At any cost. ”

The lotus girl nodded at Han Xuan, and Han Xuan took out two books from her arms and held one in one hand.

"One is the first seven chapters of the Wudao Divine Skill, and there are still the last two chapters in the queen's head, and after five years of hard training, you will have a chance to take revenge. ”

"Five years. Shangguan Hong muttered in a low voice, not knowing whether it was long or short.

"The other is the seven-turn big return work, which can quickly enhance the internal force, but there are hidden dangers. ”

"This is what Old Man Mu practiced. ”

"That's right, you choose the same. ”

Shangguan Hong was puzzled, "Why? Why are you ......?"

"I can't bear to see a seed of revenge die like this. ”

"Both. Shangguan Hong said firmly.

The lotus girl didn't refuse, took out a small box, and took out a pill from it, "Swear allegiance to me, no matter life or death." ”
