The Legend of Heluo Xianxia

Chapter 9 A Light Like a Bean

Ye Weiyang walked quickly towards the gate, he was going to find Dai Xing, or the housekeeper, she was going to see Xiang Ding.

"Weiyang, where are you going?" Xiong Ba took a big step, one step against Ye Weiyang and three steps, and easily caught up with Ye Weiyang.

"Go see third brother!"

"Can you see the third brother?"

"Ok!"

Ye Weiyang stopped suddenly, her eyes stared straight ahead.

A few people were walking across from them.Walking in the middle was an elder, accompanied by Dai Xing, with a polite smile on his face, talking with the old man, with unconcealable expectation in his eyes.But the old man had a solemn face, and he was not at all polite because of Dai Xing's identity.

The butler was a step behind, quietly following behind, looking at the elder's back with a look of respect.

Ye Weiyang moved her steps and stood leaning against the wall.After Dai Xing walked in, he said softly, "My lord..."

The elder kept walking past Ye Weiyang, completely ignoring Ye Weiyang's existence.Dai Xing's face darkened, he flicked his sleeves, and walked past Ye Weiyang without saying a word. The butler behind him sighed silently, looked at Ye Weiyang reproachfully, and then pointed at a guard. Wei Young also followed closely without stopping.The guard came over with a gloomy face and said:
"I know you are General Xiang's younger sister, but this is not your casual place..."

The guard's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Ye Weiyang's hands in horror.At this time, Ye Weiyang raised her hand in front of him, holding a token in her palm.

Sterling Silver Token!

The guard naturally recognized Dai Xing's token, the shock on his face flashed instantly, and he became respectful.

Of course, what he respects is the token, not Ye Weiyang.

"What's your order?"

"Take me to see Xiang Ding!"

"Okay! Come with me, please!"

The guard didn't hesitate at all, turned around and took Ye Weiyang and Xiong Ba through several gates, and then walked up a very secluded passage, but there were rows of soldiers.

The drizzle was falling, and the air-conditioning filled the air, making the passage even more solemn.

The clothes on Ye Weiyang's body were already soaked, and the rainwater from her hair kept dripping.The cold invaded her weak body, making her shiver from time to time.

The guard stopped and stood before a gate.There were four soldiers guarding the gate, they didn't communicate with each other, they just stared at the guards, Ye Weiyang and Xiong Ba coldly.The guard turned his head and pointed at the sterling silver token Ye Weiyang held in his hand.Ye Weiyang comprehended, holding the token, he swung at the four soldiers facing him:
"I want to see Xiang Ding!"

The eyes of the four guards fell on the sterling silver token, and then opened the door silently.One of them finally spoke, maybe he stayed in this place for too long, his voice gave people a cold mechanical feeling, piercing into the bones of people, making Ye Weiyang very uncomfortable, and even a little panic and panic rose in his heart fear.

"follow me!"

The fiery heart that wanted to see the third brother dispelled the cold inside and outside the body, and also forgot the panic and fear, and followed the soldier's footsteps into the gate.

Enter the gate, walk through a courtyard, enter another door, walk through a short passage, and then the steps extending downward, and walk down 23 steps along the steps.Then he entered a dark passage, and there were prisons on both sides of the passage.

"Let me go!"

"I was wronged!"

"I want to see the governor!"

"........."

Noisy voices came from the prisons on both sides. Pairs of dirty hands were holding the fence, and the godless faces were desperately trying to squeeze out of the cracks in the fence.But the expression on that soldier's face was like a sculpture, without any change, like a deaf man, as if he hadn't heard the loud and shrill calls, and even the frequency of his steps hadn't changed.

Looking at the dirty and hopeless faces in the cells on both sides, Ye Weiyang felt panic and fear again.She was afraid that her third brother would do the same.

Will not!
The third brother has always been a martial artist, even if he enters the cell in poverty, he will not be like them!
Ye Weiyang bit her white lips tightly and followed closely the footsteps of the soldiers in front.Her legs were trembling slightly from fatigue, cold and shock.

But at this moment in Dai Donglin's study, there was a fiery atmosphere.

Dai Donglin sat in the main seat, Ning Zhiyuan sat opposite, Dai Xing accompanied him, the housekeeper stood respectfully at the side, and a maid was cooking tea.

Dai Donglin had a spring breeze on his face, and smiled warmly: "Master Ning, you are finally back."

Ning Zhiyuan was neither humble nor overbearing: "Director, I already know the matter. I have studied the rune cannon for a long time, but whether it can be repaired depends on how damaged the rune cannon is. I haven't seen the rune cannon now. not sure."

"It's natural!" Dai Donglin still smiled warmly: "Master Ning just came back today, rest first. Tomorrow we will go to the warehouse to look at the rune cannon."

"I'm a little tired, I'll come to see the governor tomorrow!" Ning Zhiyuan stood up, cupped his hands towards Dai Donglin, turned and left.Walking out of the door, a hint of arrogance flashed in his eyes.

A trace of gloom flashed across Dai Xing's face, but Dai Donglin was as gentle as before: "Xing'er, send Master Ning off for me."

"Yes!"

Inside the dungeon.

The jailer leading the way stopped at the door of a cell, Ye Weiyang nervously looked inside through the fence.

One bed, one table, one oil lamp, one chair, one toilet.

The prison cell is very tidy, it seems that the governor still takes good care of the third brother, Ye Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked towards the bed.

A stalwart man was lying on his back on the bed, as if he didn't hear anyone speaking outside the cell, which was in stark contrast to the calls of prisoners in other cells.

Ye Weiyang's heart suddenly twitched, worry and worry appeared in her bright eyes.

A lamp is like a bean, under the dim light.

Xiang Ding's face was extremely gray and haggard, his eyes seemed to be looking at the roof of the cell, but his eyes were not bright at all.

Is this still the third brother who is martial in his mind?

What exactly happened to make his third brother suffer such a blow?

"Open the door!" Ye Weiyang flashed the sterling silver token in her hand again.

The jailer unlocked the door and stepped aside, Ye Weiyang pushed open the cell door and walked in.Looking at Xiang Ding who was still unresponsive, he called softly:

"Third Brother!"

Xiang Ding's eyelids twitched, his dull eyes rolled, and he looked at Ye Weiyang.Shock suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he sat up from the bed with a huff:

"Weiyang?"

"Third brother!" Xiong Ba's loud voice rang out, and he bent down and squeezed into the door of the old room.

"Fourth?"

Afterwards, Xiang Ding's eyes fell on Ye Weiyang's body again, and saw that Ye Weiyang's clothes were soaked, and water was still dripping from her hair.

Tick ​​tock dripped on the ground, and soon formed a water pocket.
