Otherworld Qin

Chapter 72 Chapter 78
The war is over, but life is far from peaceful. When the bloodshed on the battlefield stops, people's hearts start to bleed. The repeated bitter battles turned a hundred miles outside Kalin into a huge battlefield, where countless bones are piled up waiting Burial, and often this time can best show the cruelty of war.

Shengxuan has already seen enough of this, so he has been hiding in Carlin College for the past few days, going to the tavern when he has nothing to do. At this time, he is already the owner of the tavern, and people after the war really need a little alcohol to relieve themselves sad mood.

On this day, Shengxuan was sitting behind the counter drinking wine and chatting with some regular customers in the tavern, when suddenly someone came in and said to him, "Boss Ye, someone is looking for you." Hearing this, he hurriedly asked someone to take care of him , and ran out of the store by himself.

Seeing a few guards standing outside, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Excuse me, what's the matter?" "Are you Ye Chengxuan?" "Exactly." "Someone wants to see you, come with us." Cheng Xuan's face darkened, why are these guards so stinky, can't they speak well?He couldn't help asking, "I don't know who wants to see me?" The guard looked up mysteriously, which made him even more surprised, and he also raised his head, but only saw the blue sky and white clouds, "What a beautiful sky. "

The imperial guard led Shengxuan all the way into the palace. This was the first time he entered here. He couldn't help but feel very novel. At the same time, he also felt the unique aura of the Dugu royal family. Nanming's palace is heavily guarded but inevitably looks stingy. Although Sanmiao's palace is exquisite, it lacks majesty. Only the palace of Lone Bamboo makes people feel awe-inspiring when they see it.

Entering a spacious room, the first thing that comes into view is a row of huge bookcases. This is the first time Shengxuan has seen such a large amount of books. The guard quietly led him through the row of bookcases and said respectfully. "Your Majesty, we have brought the person you want to meet."

Hearing these words, Dugu Feng raised his head, and waved his hands lightly, "Go down." "This,,," Dugu Feng waved his hands lightly again, but that movement carried incomparable majesty. Not daring to say another word, he respectfully saluted a standard military salute, and then quickly walked out of the room.

Dugu Feng looked Sheng Xuan up and down, and then pointed to the side, "Please sit down." Sheng Xuan was not polite, pulled the chair next to him and sat down directly opposite.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for saving my uncle on the battlefield a few days ago, and for stabilizing the situation in the Battle of Blue Shield River, allowing us to win the final victory." Shengxuan was very disapproving when he heard this. , did not say anything, Dugufeng paused for a while and continued, "These two things let me see your character, and more importantly, your ability. I once heard Helian Zan mention you, but at that time I I didn't pay attention, it was my mistake, Helianzan should not have arranged for Commander Tie to meet you, but should have met you personally, but I think it is not too late for us to meet now, I appreciate you very much, so I think Let you do things for me, I don't know what you want?"

These simple words made people sound very comfortable. I didn't expect a king to be so approachable, and it also made Shengxuan deeply feel Dugu Peak's excellence. If it were another person, he would definitely kowtow to thank him immediately. But Sheng Xuan shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your appreciation, but I am sorry, I have already made up my mind to return to Nanming, which is my home. If I am still of any use, I will I want to go back to my hometown and do something for the people there."

Hearing such an answer, Dugu Feng couldn't help but slightly frowned. He didn't expect the little guy in front of him to reject him so flatly. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door, and then someone outside said, "Your Majesty, Chun Yuye, Sima The crimes of Jie, Huangfu Yixin and the rest of the family members have been sorted out, and the crimes of Helian Zan have also been sorted out, and several people have confessed, and the holy verdict is presented to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Shengxuan's heart tightened immediately, those three people under his command, among the thousands of troops that day, didn't Dugu Feng pardon them?Then there is Helian Zan, he has really been captured.

Dugufeng glanced at Shengxuan, and then shouted out, "Bring it in." Suddenly, the door was gently opened, and a civil servant quickly walked over with a stack of documents in both hands and put them on the table, and then saluted lightly. Quickly retreated.

Dugufeng opened those documents gently, and asked Shengxuan while looking at them, "Young man, if it were you, what would you do with these people?" It is inevitable that there will be a moment of confusion, since it can be corrected, it is considered a good thing."

Dugufeng laughed loudly, "You are still too naive. The most precious thing people cherish is their lives. At that time, they had no other choice when they were defeated. But if you let them go today, it is hard to guarantee that things will get worse in the future." He said The red pen on the desk quickly crossed the names of the three.

Then he picked up Helian Zan's materials again, and couldn't help sighing, "My nephew is actually a rare talent, whether it is planning or execution, he is a top talent, it's a pity..." Dugufeng sighed and hesitated After a while, I still put a cross on it.

For He Lianzan, Shengxuan had very complicated feelings, but gradually he forgave some of his previous actions. After all, each was his master at that time, and he believed that any means would not be an exaggeration in the face of the mighty Lone Bamboo. But the only thing that Sheng Xuan can't let go of is Ba Le.

Shengxuan was thinking about the past all by himself, while Dugufeng was processing those documents quickly. There were no less than a thousand people involved in the three major families. Looking at the long list and the crimes listed later, Dugufeng sent those It is indeed time to kill Goujue without hesitation, and those who were forced to participate in it were also sentenced to be dismissed from their posts and sent to the army. Finally, after all these were dealt with, he dropped the red pen in his hand. At this time, his fingers were already stained with blood. It was full of red ink, as if it was those blood donations that fascinated people.

Dugufeng looked at Shengxuan who was still sleeping, and coughed lightly, "Well! Young man, do you really think about helping me? With your current strength, although you can't catch up with Commander Tie, your other abilities surpass him. There are too many, and you are a very trustworthy person, so I originally planned to hand over the position of commander of Yicheng to you, I hope you can still think carefully before making a decision."

Sheng Xuan still shook his head firmly, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your importance, but I really don't want to be in that position. I just want to go back to Nanming immediately, so..." Before he finished speaking, Dugufeng had already sighed "Hey, why can't talents always be used by me? Helianzan is the same and you are the same, well, I won't force others, you don't want to accept this position, but you finally made contributions to Guzhu, I still want to reward you , tell me what you want?"

In fact, the execution of the three major families and others just now was specially arranged by Dugufeng, just to test him through this matter, to see how he would make a decision on such a matter, and Shengxuan's performance made him very satisfied, he I found that this young man has no ambitions and is very affectionate. Even if he really does not use it for himself, he will not become a threat to him in the future. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for Shengxuan to get out of this palace.

Hearing that he was going to be rewarded, Cheng Xuan smiled slightly, and was about to say no, but immediately changed his mind, and said seriously, "I don't want a reward from Your Majesty, but I have a request that His Majesty can grant." "Oh? What request? But it’s okay.” “I want to meet Helian Zan.”

Dugufeng frowned, looked at Shengxuan with his eyes up and down, savoring the meaning of this sentence, his eyes seemed to see through him, and Shengxuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Helian Zan and I used to have brotherly feelings, and the relationship between us So to meet him is to think of this friendship."

Dugufeng's brows finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "You really have a lot of loyalty, you little guy, do you know that Helian Zanke once wanted to kill you, don't you hate him at all?"

"Hate? Actually, I don't need to hate him, that's his choice, but I can't forget what he has done to me." Dugufeng nodded in satisfaction, "I promise you to see him, but not now, but tomorrow, Tomorrow Helian Zan will be executed on the other side of the Landun River, then I will give you some time to say goodbye to him." Sheng Xuan got up and bowed to Dugu Peak, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dugufeng asked curiously, "Is this what your request is?" "Exactly, His Majesty has already fulfilled my request, and I don't dare to have any other intentions, so I ask you to leave." He took a step back, Dugufeng said. I still wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that I couldn't say anything, and finally waved my hand unwillingly, "Okay, you go down."

Looking at Shengxuan's back, Dugufeng couldn't help but thought to himself, "This little guy is too weird. I want to make him commander. He doesn't agree, and I don't want to give him rewards, but I just want to see Helian Zan, and promise him to be with him before execution." That thief got up and thanked him, he is really different from ordinary people, maybe I really did something wrong today and let go of a terrible tiger."

In the early morning of the next day, a gust of wind blew up suddenly, and the sky was dark, and it didn't mean to stop until noon. This kind of weather must indicate a bloody show, and just today, there are new ghosts on the Blue Shield River.

Shengxuan got up early and went to the tavern to get a jar of fine wine, and then slowly walked to the other side of the Landun River with the jar in his hands. At this time, there was already a high-level execution platform, and there were many soldiers on both sides guarding it. However, these people had obviously received instructions from the royal family, so no one stopped Sheng Xuan all the way to Xingtai.

The execution platform was full of guards, but no one came to see Helian Zan off, which made the execution ground look even more bleak. I think he was considered an all-powerful figure in the Carlin business world back then, but now that he is on death row, those former partners, But none of the friends came to see him off, and now they are afraid to avoid it, for fear that they have a relationship with this traitor, so why do they still come here?Maybe this is the way the world is.

Suddenly there was a sound of shackles from far to near. Through the thick wind and sand, Shengxuan saw a team of guards escorting a person walking slowly. From the difficult steps of this person, it can be seen that he has been seriously injured, but the shaking His steps still showed a trace of perseverance.

Finally the man walked up to Sheng Xuan, their eyes collided and they couldn't help being stunned at the same time, only to see that Helian Zan was already covered with scars, the most serious ones were the knife on the chest and the bone-deep sword on the leg , Shengxuan couldn't help stepping forward two steps and shouted "Brother!" Helian Zan couldn't help being shocked, "You,,, I,,, I don't deserve to be your big brother."

Cheng Xuan slowly put down the wine jar, then took a full bowl of wine and poured it in front of Helian Zan, "In my hometown, when someone travels far away, relatives will send Zhuangxing wine. The little brother came here specially to do a good job for the big brother."

Looking at the bowl of wine in front of him, Helian Zan couldn't help but choked up, "Brother, I, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Ba Le. If you can see him one day, I hope you can apologize to him for me. I'm sorry. All that is owed to you is to be repaid in the next life." As he said this, he was about to step onto the execution platform, but Cheng Xuan stopped him with one step, "Brother, please drink up this cup."

Seeing Shengxuan's sincere gaze, Helianzan couldn't help crying, picked up the bowl of wine tremblingly, and then poured it down with his head raised, a warm current gushed out of his body immediately, making him feel a sense of ecstasy , the wound on his body no longer hurts so much. It turns out that Shengxuan put Drunken Immortal Grass in it. This herb can temporarily anesthetize people. Although it can't relieve the injury, it can also make him feel better.

Feeling the changes in his body, Helian Zan couldn't help blaming himself even more. His lips trembled for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he threw the wine bowl aside and squeezed two words "Thank you!"

Watching him walk up to the execution stage step by step, Shengxuan shouted loudly, "Brother, go all the way!" This sentence made him tremble again, and he couldn't help but stop, and the guards in charge of custody were not in a hurry to drive away He, after a long pause, Helian Zan finally said, "Brother Chengxuan, you are a good brother who is loyal, but I have done so many things that are wrong to my brother. Today's fate is my own fault." It’s all going to pass, I believe that my elder brother couldn’t help himself at that time, I never blamed you, I will always remember how kind you were to me, and I have learned a lot from you.”

These few words really moved Helian Zan, and his eyes turned red, "I'm really glad that you came to see me off for the last time today, so I want to say something to you here." "Brother, please tell me "From the time we met to now, you have always given me the impression that you are a genius. Not only has you mastered battle qi and magic, but you are also very organized in making decisions. The most rare thing is the aura on your body, which will attract many people You do things, unlike me, who always have to play tricks, but I always feel that you are deliberately avoiding something, and you dare not have too much contact with people. In this troubled world, I hope you will be more decisive in the future, and don’t miss what you should do got something."

After finishing speaking, Helian Zan strode onto the execution platform, waiting for him would be the gleaming butcher's knife, while Sheng Xuan was savoring those words carefully, and felt that he really seemed to be evading some responsibilities on purpose, but in the end why?He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the distance, walking slowly towards the execution ground. Although they couldn't see clearly through the wind and sand, they could still be distinguished from the general outline. They should be two children, the guards guarding the execution ground. Can't help shouting, "The execution ground is heavy, the idlers are waiting to retreat!" But the two figures didn't have the slightest intention to stay.

Suddenly one figure disappeared in a flash, followed by the other one. The guards saw her standing there motionless, so they ignored her. After a long time, the other figure reappeared, holding a dagger in his hand, The short sword was full of rust, as if it was a piece of scrap iron, but after careful inspection, it was found that it was not any metal.

That figure looked at the dagger carefully, and then swallowed it with one mouthful, while the other figure couldn't help but say coquettishly, "Ling'er, don't eat indiscriminately." laughter.

This person is none other than the little princess Huancai'er. When she returned to the valley that day, she began to refine the soul voodoo left by the corpse witch. She originally thought that the energy contained in the soul voodoo was running low, but she didn't expect the energy contained in the soul voodoo. The power of the soul contained in it is so powerful, and it took her several months for that pure energy to be completely swallowed by her own soul gu, and at this moment, her soul gu has also completed three evolutions, that is almost The real body is only slightly shorter than hers, and the appearance is surprisingly similar to hers. Not only that, the soul Gu also produced a trace of wisdom. Although it is still unable to speak, it can express it through some simple expressions mood, she named it Linger.

After the soul gu evolved successfully, due to the relationship between the soul, her soul power was also greatly strengthened, so the witchcraft became more sophisticated. It was only at this moment that she felt the vastness of the witchcraft, and opened the Lich's notebook again. It also made her gain a lot, which also allowed her to really touch the most mysterious way of witchcraft. Maybe these are the essence of witchcraft, but now the wizards of Sanmiao have obviously discarded them, and instead pursued some fancy and fast things To improve herself, after discovering these things, her attitude changed greatly. She practiced the witchcraft that she didn't like to practice before, and gained the truly terrifying power of witchcraft from it. Although many witchcrafts are still not proficient , but finally got her on the right track.

The current Ling'er is not only a hundred times stronger than before, but can also take her to teleport, and her gossamer blade has also been greatly improved because of her stronger soul power. What makes her most gratified is that now She can use some small enchantments with her thoughts to seal a master. Although she can't do it yet, she can temporarily seal the opponent's limb meridians, which gives her more confidence.

At this moment, Yunshan City has been breached by the Jingman army, and Gu Li did not set up a garrison there in order to take Gu Zhu in one fell swoop, so it is equivalent to an empty city, Cai Er hurriedly packed her luggage, and after preparing everything, she immediately took out the Gu worms Confirmed the location of Shengxuan, but just took out the Gu worm, but there was a little hesitation, and then he cursed himself in his heart, why can't he make up his mind about this father-killing enemy?

She finally came, and now she was approaching the execution platform step by step, because Linger had already shown an impulse, which made her know that Shengxuan must be in front, so she walked straight towards the execution platform.

The guard became nervous when he saw her step by step, and kept shouting, "Don't approach the heavy platform, and if you approach it, you will shoot arrows." But these words obviously couldn't stop the opponent's footsteps. The archer has also buckled the feather arrow on the string, and as long as he gives an order, the opponent will be turned into a hedgehog.

Just at this time, a sudden gust of wind blew past, causing everyone to close their eyes. After the gust passed, they found that the two figures had disappeared in front of their eyes.

Sheng Xuan was in a very sad mood at this time, after all, a person he respected was about to be executed, and before the butcher knife fell on the execution platform, he suddenly felt a warning sign, and a strong murderous aura came from behind, and he couldn't help but Let him turn around in a hurry, just now the gust of wind made him dare not open his eyes, after the gust of wind passed, two figures had appeared in front of his eyes, the executioner was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the two, and slowly put down the butcher knife, Cheng Xuan took a closer look, and the familiar face immediately made him exclaim "Cai'er!".
