Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Principle of Not Killing
Because the leader of the alliance, Xue Youyou, entered the palace to see the driver and did not return for a long time, the dinner party in the Loyalty League had to be postponed again and again, and the banquet did not start until the end of the day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I think everyone was a little impatient, so as soon as the banquet began, many people rushed to pour a lot of wine, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
The men and horses from all the rudders stepped forward to toast the alliance leader Xue Youyou, and the deputy alliance leader Zuo Yusong smiled on the side and blocked most of it for her. It's just that when she encounters some men with straightforward personalities and not too raunchy, this deputy alliance leader, who has always been gentle and doesn't speak much, seems to be a little overwhelmed, and has to be dealt with by Xue Youyou herself, and the result is, of course, she was forced to drink several more glasses of spirits.
Although Xue Youyou has always disliked what the Loyal Alliance did to the Yin people, but the law of the country is like this, but it cannot attribute all the blame to these people who have received orders. And after all, she has been the leader of these people's alliance for ten years, no matter how alienated she is, she is more or less a familiar face, and she always has to get by on face. So no matter how anxious she was to leave, she still had to sit there steadily, drinking and talking with everyone, and listening to them talk and laugh aloud and all kinds of anecdotes in those unrestrained and even slightly vulgar words.
This banquet lasted until near the end of the day, when Xue Youyou got a chance, and under the pretext that she was too strong to drink, she confessed to the big guy and left the table first. Zuo Yusong was left alone, and continued to accompany those men who were still on the rise to drink.
Hurriedly returning to the inner hall of the Xiuyun Sect on the mountain, Xue Youyou went straight to the door of the secret room. After waving away the guards before she stepped into the secret room.
Xiao Yu was still sitting reclining against the stone wall, his eyes wide open at no telling where he was looking.
"You must have expected that this seat did not get the antidote to the Endless Pill today. Xue Youyou said bluntly.
Xiao Yu's eyes blinked slightly, but he didn't speak.
"Also, the emperor already knows that you are a hermit, and he will not let you go in the future. ”
"It seems that he has temporarily let go of the Sect Master and Master Huinian. Xiao Yu finally smiled lazily.
Xue Youyou frowned, "I think the emperor didn't intend to kill Master Huinian in the first place, otherwise why did he promise to give him the antidote to the Endless Pill in the first place?"
Xiao Yu still smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
Xue Youyou stared at Xiao Yu, and finally asked the question that had been entrenched in her heart since last night: "That Endless Pill-, did you choose it on purpose?"
Xiao Yu was stunned by the question, and then slowly smiled after a while: "Why would the sect master ask like this, how could I deliberately choose that Endless Pill?"
"Because I've asked Luo'er about giving you a hemostatic pill, so—"
"So that other pill yesterday turned out to be a hemostatic pill......" Although Xiao Yu's expression was still calm, there was still a trace of chagrin in his voice.
"You really didn't recognize it at the time?"
"I-" After a long pause, Xiao Yu sighed and shook his head silently.
Xue Youyou wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yu, she really couldn't tell if this kid was acting or if he was really lucky and missed the opportunity. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was afraid that he would use some cunning tricks to fool herself. Moreover, she had to admit in frustration that she really couldn't tell which sentence was true and which one was false from Xiao Yu's nonsense.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly annoyed, it seems that only the Endless Pill can make this kid with a cheap bone confess! In fact, she is also superfluous to ask, could this kid still have any kindness to save a person who once abolished his martial arts? Even if he really deliberately chose the Endless Pill, it must have some ulterior motives. Hmph, this is his own doing!
Although she thought so, Xue Youyou still didn't want Xiao Yu to die in her hands like this, no matter how much the emperor wanted his life.
"In any case, although I can't give you an antidote, as soon as you tell the truth about that old case, I will let you go immediately. ”
Xiao Yu immediately shook his head unappreciatively.
Xue Youyou, who was slightly drunk, only felt a surge of anger, and said hatefully: "Do you think this can still stand you?!"
Xiao Yu's pale face flashed with a hint of stubbornness, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
Xue Youyou stared fiercely at this young man who was so incapable that he dared to challenge her face-to-face, and said coldly: "Then I will come here every day to see you tossing and wailing in front of me until you die like a dog!"
Although he couldn't see anything, Xiao Yu turned his head to the other side and closed his eyes. He just wanted to move his slightly stiff legs again, but he was suddenly attacked by a cold air like a sharp blade between his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but snort, and his body began to twitch violently again......
The razor-sharp cold churned and sliced through his body, and the intense pain that was almost maddening was like a monstrous wave, completely engulfing him in an instant. What's even more terrifying is that the Endless Pill can make him always conscious to bear this kind of heart-wrenching pain, and he can't get a moment of relief from a short coma. The only thing he could do at the moment was to grit his teeth-
As the cold qi in his body became more and more frantically raging, Xiao Yu's temples could not help but "suddenly" and beat wildly, and the cold sweat on his forehead continued to roll down his cheeks. His body gradually slid down the reclining stone wall to the ground, and began to roll uncontrollably......
Xue Youyou was also shocked by the tragic situation in front of her for a while, and after standing for a long time, it was finally difficult to look at it anymore. She was about to turn away, but she suddenly furrowed her eyebrows, listened intently for a moment, and then silently walked to the side of the door, and stood against the wall.
After another moment, she gently opened the door and chased after a departing figure in the distance......
When she returned to the secret room, Xue Youyou saw Xiao Yu curled up on his side on the ground, the silver robe scattered to the side, and the blood-stained white robe on his body was also full of wrinkles and dust.
When it was finally over, Xiao Yu's breathing gradually smoothed out, he took a few deep breaths, slowly relaxed his body, and then sat up from the ground without a sound.
"You-?" Xue Youyou looked at him in surprise, and was stunned for a moment.
"The man outside the door...... Is it someone from the Loyalty Alliance?" Xiao Yu's voice was hoarse and trembling slightly, and at this moment he was supporting his arms backwards on the ground, while his upper body was also slightly leaning back.
Xue Youyu stared at his sweaty face and the undried blood on his lips in disbelief, "No one can resist the power of the Endless Pill's ecstasy, how did you do it?"
Xiao Yu leaned back again, and at the same time, his hands pressed harder against the bluestone ground, "The sect master didn't kill that person, did he?"
"What if you kill it, what if you don't kill it?" At this time, Xue Youyou already knew that the Endless Pill had completely lost its effect, and couldn't help but answer Xiao Yu in a stupid way.
"If you don't kill, the other party is just guessing, and if you kill it, you can confirm their guess. ”
"What guess, whose guess?" asked Xue Youyou.
Xiao Yu leaned slightly to the right, and slowly exhaled before saying, "Presumably, the suspicious emperor has already guessed that the sect master has caught me." ”
Although Xue Youyou also had the same suspicions, after listening to Xiao Yu's words, she couldn't help but feel a mess in her heart, and secretly hated herself for being too careless, and the emperor saw the clue from nowhere. No wonder he is so forced to leave himself to speak today, it turns out that he wants to find flaws in his speech and demeanor. In this way, I have caused great trouble!
"I didn't kill Fang Cai, he was a personal follower of Zuo Yusong. ”
"That's okay......" Xiao Yu moved his body again and breathed a sigh of relief, "But with the emperor's temperament, the most jealous people below have something to hide from him, although this Zuo Yusong's personal entourage has not found out a result, sooner or later he will still send someone else until it is investigated." Therefore, I have now become a hot potato in the hands of the sect master, and I am really in trouble. ”
Xue Youyou snorted coldly, "Even if it will cause a lot of trouble, this seat will pry your mouth open and get everything I want to know." ”
Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile dumbly: "At this moment, the sect master can still have such confidence, which is really admirable. ”
"Tomorrow is the time when the Endless Pill is the most poisonous, and the pain it will bring will be doubled compared to today, are you confident that you can still endure it?"
"If I can endure it today, I will endure it tomorrow, and as long as I have a breath, I can endure it forever. Although Xiao Yu's voice was low, there was an unquestionable firmness.
Xue Youyou walked in front of Xiao Yu step by step, looking down at him indifferently, "Have you ever thought that if I completely give up the idea of learning the truth from you, then what is the need for me to have your breath?"
"You're going to kill me?" Xiao Yu raised his head slightly, and his godless eyes fell in the direction where Xue Youyou spoke.
"Are you afraid I'll kill you?" Xue Youyou asked disdainfully.
"I'm afraid. Xiao Yu replied very simply.
"Oh?" Xue Youyou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile, "I thought that people like you would not be afraid of death." ”
Xiao Yu pulled her lips and showed a wry smile, "If I wasn't afraid of death, how could I rather endure the torment of the Endless Pill than kill myself?"
"Not wanting to die is not the same as being afraid of death. But since you don't want to die yet, there must be a reason why you still need to live, so you might as well say it and listen to it, which can be regarded as giving this seat a reason not to kill you. ”
Xiao Yu smiled, was silent and did not speak, but tilted his body that had been slightly to the right to the left, and his left arm trembled slightly a few times.
"I did think of a reason for you," Xue Youyou suddenly stepped forward, staring at Xiao Yu's hands on the ground, leaning over and smiling coldly in his ear, "I won't kill you today, because I want to take a look, and after you have worn off all your ten fingers, what will you use to resist the poison of the Endless Pill!"
The corners of Xiao Yu's lips moved slightly, "This reason...... It's ...... far-fetched."
Xue Youyou smiled coldly again, slowly straightened her body, and turned to leave.
