Chapter 22: A Sharp Turn
"I need to get out of the way. ”
Duan Heng didn't care about saying anything more at the moment, and turned around to leave this cabin, but before he could take a few steps, two strange immortal cultivators blocked his way.
"Sorry, you can't leave. ”
"Hey, old Duan, what's going on?" At this time, Zhou Peng and the two also followed, and asked suspiciously.
Duan Heng turned his head and sighed, "We should be under house arrest." ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Peng and the others were stunned, this is incredible, too ridiculous!
Soon, however, there was no need for them to question it, and it was enough to see that the eyes of most of the people in the entire cabin were fixed to see that this was not a false thing.
Especially Bai Luoyun looked over with a smile on his face.
"Let's go!" Bai Luoyu still didn't believe it, or was angry, and was about to break out by holding Zhou Peng's hand, but immediately several immortal cultivators stood in front of them.
"Bai Luoyun, what do you want to do?" Bai Luoyu turned his head and asked angrily.
"It's nothing, this journey is too dangerous, I must ensure your safety, otherwise if something happens, how can I explain it to my uncle? Bai Luoyun smiled elegantly.
At this time, the barbarian king Xiao Jiuyang walked over with a cruel smile, smiled ruefully, and showed his teeth, "Three, do you want to go by yourself, or do you want the old man to do it himself?"
"You dare, surnamed Xiao, Bai Luoyun, my father is the city lord of Luming City, the next candidate for the head of the Bai family, you dare to put me under house arrest! Do you know what the consequences are?" Bai Luoyu finally shouted.
"You're so smart, sister. To be honest, on weekdays, I really don't dare to do anything to you, but now, you and your common fiancé must return to Bailu Prefecture. And it's a swagger, lest everyone in the world know, and no one knows to return, don't worry, I won't touch a single hair of you, and safety can definitely be guaranteed, so, don't toss, sister, I can't help myself. I was forced to make this decision. Bai Luoyun sighed and said.
"Y-what do you mean?" Bai Luoyu's face instantly lost blood, and so did Zhou Peng, and they finally understood what was going on at this time.
There is no doubt that Bai Luoyun wanted to take the two of them back to Bailu Prefecture, but he didn't do it to invite credit, it was obviously Bai Luoyu's father's rival, someone who was also qualified to be the next head of the Bai family.
It's just an illegitimate daughter born to the common people, and now there is another common fiancé.
If this matter is really revealed to the world. For the Bai family, it is simply a great shame. This is a big scandal, ordinary people pay attention to the right family, let alone this kind of big family that has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years?
It is conceivable that once this matter is poked out, and it is so upright and bright, how bad it will be to deal a blow to Bai Luoyu's father's reputation. It is almost certain that he will not be able to become the next head of the family, and he may not even be able to keep the position of the city lord of Luming City.
"Jiang Yu'er, Jiang Yu'er! It's you, everything is arranged by you, and I treat you as a friend in vain. You traitor!" Bai Luoyu suddenly turned his head and scolded angrily at a woman not far away.
The woman named Jiang Yu'er was silent, but Duan Heng found that there was an unbearable struggle in the corner of her eyes, but in the end, she remained silent.
"I won't let you succeed!" Bai Luoyu shouted sadly, and then suddenly there was a dagger in her hand that flickered with cold light, aimed at her chest and quickly stabbed down, she was so decisive!
It was only at this moment that Zhou Peng, who was beside her, stepped forward and blocked it with his arm, and the dagger pierced into his arm, causing blood to flow.
"Don't be like this, Luo Yu, you still have me, I will protect you. Zhou Peng also shouted with tears in his eyes, at this time, Jiang Yu'er and several other women also rushed up and quickly grabbed the dagger, as for the barbarian king Xiao Jiuyang, he quickly shot at this moment and imprisoned Zhou Peng even with Bai Luoyu.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Heng was also imprisoned, but from beginning to end, he did not resist and fight back, he just looked at Zhou Peng who was sincere and sincere with some strangeness, and felt a chill in his heart.
A moment later, in a special cabin in the center of the ice ship, Duan Heng and the three of them were all locked up here, and then, as expected, Zhu Yu, Lin Yulou, Liu Bai, Wu Shaoxiang, and the mysterious woman were all caught in a net, all of them were imprisoned, and they were all placed under house arrest here.
"Brother Duan, what happened, the day before yesterday I saw Niu Er talking to a certain steward on the ice boat sneaky, could it be that he betrayed us?"
Duan Heng shook his head.
At this time, Zhou Peng, who was comforting and crying not far away, sighed: "Old Duan, I'm really sorry, I thought I could bring a few brothers, but now I have involved you all." ”
"It doesn't have to be said. Duan Heng shook his head again, his expression was as usual, and then his eyes looked at the other corner, the mysterious woman who was suspected to be Luo Qingli, and the injuries on her body had actually improved.
Before, Duan Heng was worried that when she was imprisoned, she might not be able to bear it and burst out, after all, Luo Qingli was so arrogant, how could she be humiliated like this?
But now it seems that she didn't even resist at all.
In addition, she seemed to be aware of Duan Heng's gaze, and looked up at each other, although there was only one eye left, it still gave people the illusion of looking up at the starry sky.
But it was only for a moment, and it returned to its original state, the gaze was cold, quiet, without the slightest fluctuation, and with the hideous wound, it had a frightening effect.
Duan Heng was the same, although he was still very reluctant to meet this mysterious woman before, he would not show the slightest timidity at this moment.
So he also looked at him with a cold and calm gaze.
This may seem funny to others, but to him, it is very important, who has the courage to look at the princess of the imperial patriarch? This has nothing to do with her lack of combat power at the moment, but the suffocating status.
Duan Heng dared to believe that if this mysterious woman really revealed her identity as the princess of the imperial patriarch at this moment, then what Bai Luoyun, what Ye Tulin, what immortal Joey, and the barbarian king, they would all immediately abandon all the important plans of the original, and they would find a way, and they would be crazy to escort her back to land.
The reason is that this identity is too sensitive and noble.
And as long as they can be escorted to safety, the reward of the imperial clan alone, as well as that supreme glory, is enough for them to enjoy the rest of their lives, and even the legacy of their descendants.
So at this moment, as the only person in the know, Duan Heng was thinking about how much benefit he could get from it, but he also felt that this feeling of wagging his tail and begging for pity made him extremely unbearable.
He didn't want to admit defeat, and he wouldn't give in even on this little detail.
Although, it's actually funny.
In this sealed prison, the atmosphere became strange for a while, Duan Heng and the mysterious woman each sat in a corner, looking at each other, but it was definitely not the kind of affectionate gaze, nor was it a tense and imminent hatred, let alone a fighting spirit, wanting to overwhelm the other party and compete for the first place.
They don't have each other in their eyes, there is only one way to express it, indifference, just like meeting quietly in the left of the road, looking at each other, no surprise or joy, no wind and no waves, you, just the scenery in my eyes, that's all.
Of course, among them, Duan Heng is slightly inferior, so he will not be the first to divert his gaze when he is killed, this has nothing to do with fighting spirit, but a flaw in his state of mind, the identity of the princess of the emperor patriarch is comparable to a god-level move, he has to back down slightly this time, so he will have to back down again and again in the future.
The joints are delicate. People who are not strong enough will not feel it, and they will not pay attention to it.
But Lingjue suppression is Duan Heng's trump card, what he wants is this kind of momentum, what if you are the king of heaven Lao Tzu? If you should suppress you, you will suppress you.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the prison, the four of Zhu Yu had long been afraid to breathe, they didn't dare to look, they all lowered their heads and counted the stars, their spiritual sense was not strong enough, and they were invisibly suppressed by the aura of Duan Heng and the mysterious woman.
And Bai Luoyu had already stopped struggling, and even forgot about being in a state of embarrassment for the time being, because she had been gossiping about it a long time ago, looking forward to the scene after Duan Heng and the two met again, and now it seems that it is really amazing.
The eye is still in the same place.
The mysterious woman behaved very relaxedly, as if she was looking at the scenery, but she would not regress at all, which had nothing to do with identity, strength, situation, or even principles. Both she and Duan Heng understood what the two of them were insisting on?
Therefore, on the contrary, it is even more impossible to regress.
But just when Bai Luoyu and the others thought that this strange staring would be endless, the mysterious woman chose to back down, and in the dim light, a slight arc could be vaguely seen at the corner of her mouth.
"Whew!"
At this moment, everyone felt like they could finally breathe fresh air, it was too depressing before, although Duan Heng and the two of them did not release their spiritual sense, how could this level of touch have no effect?
Duan Heng was stunned for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze, his expression calm.
"Duan Heng, I'm sorry, I've bothered you, I didn't expect that I asked Jiang Yu'er to help me collect the Wind Evil Jade Talisman, I didn't tell anyone about it, I didn't even know about it! ”
Bai Luoyu also opened his mouth at this time, and quickly explained the reason, "But I will definitely not let them succeed, Duan Heng, we need your help, I know you must have a way, right?"
This Bai Luoyu actually has unexpected confidence in Duan Heng, and I don't know if this is her woman's intuition or what?
Duan Heng just shook his head and didn't say anything, and at this time, he couldn't say anything. (To be continued.) )
