Chapter 2141 Yamaguchi Ichi's Emotional Trap

Yamaguchi pretended to be embarrassed and said.

“Ming Li-sama, it is not proper for you to ask this.

I asked Aoba-kun to come back to assist in the investigation of the Tobita Shinchi murder case. The Divine Guards and the Student Soldiers each have their own subordinates. I cannot and do not need to answer your questions."

Ming Liyou looked at Yamaguchi's fake expression and resisted the urge to punch her in the face, and said in a deep voice.

“Qingye can’t give you what you want.

Take me to him, and if you will let him go, I will give you what you need."

Yamaguchi narrowed his eyes.

“I don’t understand what you are saying, Master Mingli.

Aoba-kun is the witness I asked to come back to assist in investigating the murder case. You said he couldn't help me, but you can.

So, you know something about the inside story of this murder case?"

Yamaguchi looked at Akariyu and waited for Akariyu to say something.

Ming Liyou smiled slightly and slowly drew out her half-broken katana, causing Yamaguchi Hajime's expression to freeze.

"Yamaguchi, stop trying to trick me.

If you had any other way, you wouldn't be so shameless as to embarrass an innocent boy.

I am willing to come, you should be overjoyed, why bother pretending?

I only have one thing to say, if you let him go, I will give you what you want.

If you continue to push your luck, I will commit seppuku right here and now, and you will have to figure out how to deal with the outside world's doubts on your own.

You forced an innocent couple to death without any evidence. Your superiors will be waiting for your explanation, and the cadets will remember what you did."

Yamaguchi sighed. Akariyuu's calmness was beyond her imagination.

She had thought of several possibilities of meeting Ming Liyou and made several contingency plans, but Ming Liyou's current condition was the worst of all her plans.

Ming Liyou did not lose her mind because of Aoba's arrest. She remained completely calm and had the energy to suppress her impatience, analyze the situation, and threaten herself in return.

Just based on this strong mind, Yamaguchi knew that he had no other options now.

Just as Akariyu said, if the pressure from above was not so severe, if he could find any useful clues, Yamaguchi Hajime would not have placed all his bets on Akariyu's feelings for Aoba.

Akari Yu was the sixth seat in the first Holy Sword Division of the cadets, and is also the current head instructor of the cadets.

Although she is just quietly engaged in education, she is the person in charge of screening talents after Spo's selection and has certain advisory power.

No matter which society you are in, don't easily offend famous teachers from prestigious schools or famous doctors from top-level hospitals, because you don't know what students they have taught or what patients they have saved.

Although the Shenwei system is independent of the Spo's ruling system and does not participate in the Spo selection, everyone has a family to support, so there must be relatives and friends who want to participate, right?

Before there was solid evidence that Akari Yu was involved in the murder, even if Yamaguchi Ichi had malicious intentions towards Akari Yu, he would not dare to go all the way.

Looking at the half-broken blade that Ming Liyou showed, Yamaguchi thought for a while and then made way.

"Since Master Mingli is willing to provide useful clues, there is really no need for Master Qingye to stay here and be questioned. Please come in."

Walking along the path, the small courtyard appears three parts deep and three parts gloomy.

Yamaguchi led the way, followed by Ming Liyou, and the two divine guards behind him stared at Ming Liyou's movements.

Arriving at a dilapidated hut, Yamaguchi signaled to the guarding divine guard to open the door. Okita Souji, who was sitting cross-legged on the porch, coughed slightly and glanced at Akari.

As the sliding door opened, sunlight poured into the room, casting a human figure, or more accurately, a human body wriggling on the ground.

Ming Liyou's heart tightened, and he quickly crossed the mountain pass and knelt in front of the body. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Ming Liyou felt sad and relieved.

This person was not Aoba, but his little bald boy, the handsome little bald boy who came to wait for Ming Liyu for Aoba that night and was touched by him.

But at this time, the half-grown child no longer had the youthful and delicate appearance of that time. His tendons in his hands and feet were cut, and his tongue was cut off. He could only crawl around the room like a caterpillar. He raised his head and desperately used the remaining half of his tongue to yell at Ming Liyou. Although no one knew what he wanted to yell, his tears kept oozing from his eyes.

It was only then that Akari realized he was blind.

Ming Liyu stood up and slapped Yamaguchi hard and loudly in the face.

Yamaguchi stretched out his hand to stop the other divine guards from moving forward, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Please understand, Master Mingli, an interrogation is not a dinner party. It will always leave some scars. We are all doing things for the saint, so please understand."

  Mingli's mouth twitched, and her originally stable mood became turbulent at this moment, and her heartbeat accelerated. Xiao Tu ended up like this, so what about Aoba?

At this time, Mingli heard Aoba's weak call from behind.

"Ayu."

Ming Liyou turned around suddenly and saw Aoba huddled in a corner of the room, calling her cautiously.

Ming Liyou, whose emotions were fluctuating greatly, rushed over and hugged Aoba in her arms. She carefully checked Aoba's whole body. Only after she knew that Aoba was unharmed did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Aoba watched Ming Liyu's expression change from nervous to relaxed, and a hint of sweetness grew in his heart.

After all, she loved me, and she didn't give up on me, even though I was just a playboy who could be manipulated by others.

Aoba's tears welled up from his eyes. He hugged Mingliyu's body tightly and cried heartbreakingly. He didn't know whether it was for this matter or for his own life.

Ming Liyou hugged Aoba and gently patted Aoba's back.

"Okay, it's okay, you can leave this damn place soon."

Yamaguchi Hajime watched the star-crossed couple pour out their hearts to each other very patiently, his eyes moving up and down the back of Mingli's neck as she faced away from him.

After a while, Ming Liyu finally gritted her teeth, pulled Qingye up, and asked.

"Are you sure you're not hurt?"

Qingye shook his head, looked at his bald head that was not in human form, and said tremblingly.

"I'm fine...but he..."

Ming Liyu sighed, turned around, drew his sword, and chopped off the bald boy's head.

Aoba let out a scream and almost fainted.

Ming Liyu hugged him and whispered in his ear.

"He is living a life worse than death. I can only help him get rid of it."

Mingli knew in her heart that Yamaguchi Hajime was leaving a way out for himself and didn't want to offend her to death, so he didn't torture Aoba.

But making Qingye's bald head like this was also to give himself a warning, using blood to make him understand the horror of the Divine Guards, so as to avoid regretting it at the last minute.

Ming Liyou turned around and said to Yamaguchi.

"Send someone to send Qingye back. I will stay here and give you what you want."

Before Yamaguchi could say anything, Aoba burst into an even louder scream.

"No! You can't stay here! You can't!"

Looking at Aoba's frightened eyes, Ming Liyou touched his cheek, wiped his tears, and comforted him softly.

"It's okay, I'll be fine, just leave without worry, everything will be fine."

Aoba hugged Akariyu tightly and spoke in a trembling but firm voice.

"I won't leave! Either I go with you, or we die together!"

Ming Li glanced at Yamaguchi Kazu out of the corner of her eye. Yamaguchi Kazu made a helpless gesture. It seemed that Aoba's decision was already within her expectations.

At this point, Ming Liyou's heart calmed down. The infinite love of the man in her arms made Ming Liyou full of fighting spirit.

Since I can't get away, I'll just do as Princess Matsukami says and have a good fight.
