National color raw owl

Liuli frowned slightly, turned her head and was about to say something to the prince, the prince seemed to have sensed that Liuli wanted to explain to Tianhou, he shook his head and said: "Liuli, it's not that the Palace doesn't keep him, but that the guards of the Prince's Mansion have disobeyed him. You don't need to say more."

Liuli sighed quietly and said nothing more.

"It's cold outside, push me back!" The prince said calmly after taking a last look at Tian Hou.

Liuli went to the back of the wheelchair, also glanced at Tian Hou, pushed the wheelchair, and slowly left the garden, Zhao Quan put away the knife, still smiling: "Commander Tian, ​​after all, you took us with you, we will be free in the future, we will often to see you!"

Tian Hou looked up at Zhao Quan, with a look of resentment in his eyes, he reached out to take back the Ghost Saber, one foot had already stepped on it, Zhao Quan looked down at Tian Hou from above, shook his head and said: "You are not the Ghost Saber back then. , Of course you don’t deserve to take this knife.”

Tian Hou said coldly: "Get out of the way!" With force, he was about to pull the ghost knife out from Zhao Quan's feet, but Zhao Quan's feet were heavy and he couldn't pull it out for a while. A guard kicked Tian Hou on the shoulder. Tian Hou didn't expect that someone would dare to kick him behind his back.

The prince's attitude towards Tian Hou is already very obvious. The guards saw it, and knew that Tian Hou, who was like a useless person, would never have a chance to be valued by the prince again. These people don't have much favor, and now that they find an opportunity, these people naturally don't take Tian Hou seriously.

The guard who kicked Tianhou picked up the once frightening ghost knife and presented it to Zhao Quan, "Commander, this knife should be in your hands now!"

Zhao Quan took the Ghost Saber, looked at it twice, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right, the quality of a weapon does not depend on the weapon itself, but on the person who uses the weapon. No more The original ghost knife, this knife is just scrap copper and rotten iron, not worth a penny."

The guard laughed, stepped forward, kicked the ghost knife up, and after it fell, another guard stepped forward and kicked it, and a group of guards treated the ghost knife that Tian Hou regarded as life like a kick Kicking back and forth, Tian Hou gritted his teeth, then closed his eyes, turned around, and walked out of the garden lonely.

"Tian Hou, you will live better without a knife, remember my words." Zhao Quan's voice sounded behind him, "If you can't control this knife, but still hold it in your hand, it will only put you in danger. I have worked hard for you, and I hope you can understand."

Tian Hou didn't know how he left the Prince's Mansion. On the night of New Year's Eve, the capital was full of laughter and laughter, but Tian Hou was like a bereaved dog who couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Unknowingly, he walked into a secluded dead end. It wasn't until a wall blocked in front that Tian Hou came back to his senses, looked left and right, and then turned around, wanting to turn around and walk out of the alley.

After only a few steps, he saw two figures standing in front of him, blocking his way.

Tian Hou's pupils contracted, and saw that the two men's swords were out of their sheaths, and they were approaching him step by step. Tian Hou touched his waist, only to find that the ghost sword that was always with him was no longer in his waist.

Without his left arm, Tian Hou is no longer the Ghost Saber he used to be. Now that he doesn't even have a knife at hand, he has become an ordinary person.

The two men pressed forward step by step, one on the left and the other on the right. Tian Hou's eyes showed a look of resentment that penetrated into the marrow, "Is it the prince? Haha... I should have known it a long time ago. I know so many things about him. Will you keep me alive? He is the best at killing people...!" His only remaining hand clenched his fist and said sharply, "If you want to kill me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy...!"

The two men stepped forward together, one from the left and the other from the right, and Tian Hou was unarmed, so he could only dodge, but there is not much room to dodge in this alley, and the two swordsmen who came to assassinate are not weak, Tian Hou Although Hou tried his best to dodge backwards, he was still slashed at his waist with a knife. After a sharp pain, Tian Hou rolled to the ground, and the two of them did not hesitate, and dropped their knives at the same time, slashing Tian Hou's body.

"Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and make him restless...!" Filled with endless resentment in his heart, Tian Hou knew that he would not be spared, so he roared fiercely. He knew that no matter how hard he struggled, he would not be able to escape, rolling on the ground After two rolls, he finally closed his eyes, stopped moving, and waited to be slaughtered.

With his eyes closed, it was pitch black, and Tian Hou could even clearly hear the sound of the two knives chopping down.

He has always been familiar with the sound of the knife wind. Over the years, he has heard countless knife wind sounds, and in the end the blades were cut on other people's bodies, but today, he will finally be buried under the knife he is most familiar with.

The wind stopped abruptly, and soon, he heard two strange noises. Tian Hou couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the two assassins had fallen to the ground. He was startled for a moment, and then heard a voice: "Can you stand up?"

Tian Hou followed the sound and saw that at some point, a figure appeared in the alley, a few steps away from him. The alley was pitch black, and he couldn't see the figure clearly for a while.

Tian Hou struggled to get up, looked at the figure, and asked, "You saved me? Why did you save me?"

"Because you are not yet ready to die." The man let out a strange laugh with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, "It's also because you already have hatred in your heart, and a person with hatred in his heart shouldn't die like this. white!"

"Who are you?" Tian Hou said in a deep voice.

He moved two steps forward and found that the man was wearing a gray robe and a bamboo hat. The edge of the bamboo hat was pressed down, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"I'll take you to meet someone." The man said slowly, "If you want, you can follow me, if you don't, you can go another way...!"

"Why did I go to meet someone with you?" Tian Hou was full of doubts, "Who are you?"

"If you want to become a ghost knife again, if you want to vent your hatred one day, follow me!" The man turned around and left without further words. After a while, he finally followed behind.

Along the way, the two kept a distance, and that person kept walking at a constant speed. Whenever Tian Hou quickened his pace, the pace of the person in front also accelerated, and when Tian Hou slowed down, the speed of that person also slowed down. He came down and kept a certain distance. Tian Hou was very suspicious. He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to save him. He could have turned around and left, but the man seemed to have a magical power. Tian Hou couldn't help following behind.

The man walked all the way along secluded roads. Tian Hou didn't know how long he walked with that man, and how many streets he turned. He followed behind like a walking dead, until the man suddenly stopped, Tian Hou came back to his senses, looked around, only to find that he had come to a dark and secluded alley, next to a high courtyard wall, he didn't know what it was The mansion of a dignitary.

The man was standing at the back of a door at this time, looked at the door, the courtyard door opened soon, the man glanced at Tian Hou, did not say much, and dodged in, Tian Hou walked over slowly, saw When the gate of the courtyard was open, there stood a domestic servant in gray clothes, bowing his body. Obviously, this person opened the door. The person just lowered his head and didn't look at Tian Hou. Tian Hou saw the man in the bamboo hat. Walking forward along a small path, without hesitation, he entered the courtyard, and soon there was the sound of closing the door.

Tian Hou looked around, and saw that the garden was very spacious, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, but it looked extremely deserted and lonely, and vaguely felt that the layout was quite familiar, as if he had seen it in some mansion before, just for a while But I can't remember.

The man in the bamboo hat continued to lead the way, Tian Hou followed behind, walked for a while, passed through a landscape bamboo forest, and a house appeared in front of him, but at this time the man in the bamboo hat had disappeared, Tian Hou looked around and saw nothing. Seeing the trace of that person, he was puzzled, frowned, and approached the house, and gradually approached, only to find that it was a stable.

He was stunned for a moment, and walked to the side of the stable, only to find that there were no horses in the stable, but in a corner not far away, there was a dim lamp hanging on the beam. The cold wind blew, and the lantern swayed in the wind. It looked extremely sad and sad.

Tian Hou walked into the stable with light steps, and saw from a distance that the man in the bamboo hat was standing on the edge of the corner wall with his hands behind his back. Besides the man in the bamboo hat, there was another person sitting at the bottom of the wall with his back facing him. He approached slowly In the past, I saw that the clothes of the person sitting on the ground were torn, very dirty and shabby, his hair was not combed into a bun, but hung behind his head like a lunatic, under the dim light, it was very strange.

After five or six steps away, Tian Hou saw clearly that in front of the lunatic-like guy, there was actually a wooden stool with two large porcelain bowls on it. Wanli didn't know what was in it. The lunatic was eating slowly.

On his messy hair, there were a lot of straws. At the corner, a pile of straws was piled there. On top of the straws was an old quilt. It seemed that this person lived in a stable.

There was an unpleasant rancid smell in the stables, even in winter, the smell was unbearable.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve." The lunatic with his back turned to Tianhou suddenly said, "No matter how much pain you have, no matter how much pain you have, I will make your life better tonight, and I hope the coming year will have a good omen It's just that they don't know, it's just paralyzing themselves, after tonight, there will be no less pain, and the hatred in their hearts will always be with them."

Tian Hou frowned.

"You used to be the commander of the Prince's Mansion that everyone respected. With the ghost knife in your hand, everyone was afraid of three points." The lunatic continued to speak slowly in an extremely calm tone: "But now? It's just a bereaved dog. The ghost knife is gone, and there is only one more hateful dog in the world? You want to kill him? Of course you want to, but you don’t have that ability at all. On the contrary, it’s him. As long as you have a finger, you can’t even die. No, to be forgotten with hatred!"

Tian Hou couldn't help taking another step forward.

"We are all dogs. We know the pain of a bereaved dog. No one cares about our pain. People and dogs are always different. No one cares about the life and death of a dog. You and I are both bereaved dogs that no one cares about." The lunatic got up slowly, and under Tian Hou's gaze, he turned around, "I hate being a dog, so I'm going to be a person who can turn everyone in the world into a dog, and you are going to continue to do it." Dog, or would you like to be a human?"

At this moment, Tian Hou finally saw the lunatic's face clearly. Although the face was extremely thin, even the cheekbones were protruding, and it was horribly dirty, Tian Hou still recognized the man at a glance.

In the shadow of a solitary lamp, in the cold winter night, Tian Hou's face was full of shock. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "Your Highness, the whole world has been deceived by you!"
