"This is lunch." Duye Taki placed the plate in front of her.
Yu Linglong raised her hands to indicate her wrists which were tied by chains.
Seeing her raise her hand, Duye Taki quickly distanced herself, obviously wary of her every move, "It's already a preferential treatment if it's not tied behind your back. This doesn't prevent you from eating, right?"
"Uh... But it's very inconvenient. I brought it to your door. Do you need to be so careful?" Yu Linglong bent down with difficulty and held the wooden spoon with her fingers.
"Your name is Sheying, and you are good at sneak attacks with arrows. Of course I have to be careful to avoid following in Fei Nian's footsteps."
"I have already told you that he is the inner ghost of the Privy Council and a user of evil arts!" Yu Linglong couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Wei Daodao's whole family was killed by him, and I was simply wronged! "
There was a trace of grief, anger and desolation in her tone. In addition, she had been tied up and driven on the road these days, and she had suffered a lot of trauma on her shoulders. She looked quite miserable.
Compared with the previous proud guard of the Privy Council, at this moment Yu Linglong not only had her hands and feet bound, but her face was also quite pale. There were several traces of dry cracks on the originally red lips, and the long eyelashes were stuck together due to sweat and were no longer as flexible as before.
But for some reason, Du Yelong felt that the person in front of him looked more feminine. The softness concealed the strength of the guard, and the unkempt face highlighted the beauty and authenticity of the facial features. The word "pear blossoms bring rain" , seems to be the best portrayal of her now.
What are you thinking! This guy is obviously a man!
Duye Taki tilted his head to the side with his hot cheeks, and at the same time secretly cursed himself for being unbearable. In the past, his colleagues sought his help when they were desperate, but he still had time to think of such vulgar things.
"Okay, who is talking about panic between you and Fei Nian? I will find a way to figure it out." Baihua Jian coughed twice and brought the topic back to business, "The second prince said that he has already set off to leave Shangyuan, and he will leave in a few days. Able to reach the Liuzhou waterfront.”
"How many more days will it take..." Yu Linglong bit her lips.
"So I have to wrong you for a while longer - if you are really wronged." Duyelong paused for a moment, "In addition, I will bring some dry food tomorrow, which will be enough for you to eat for a few days."
"You... are not coming?" She looked panicked, "Are you going to leave me here alone?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. The second prince is already planning an attack, and a war should break out in the next few days. I must rush to the front line, and nothing can go wrong." Duye Taki played with the sword at his waist. Heng said, "What if I die in battle..."
"Stop talking nonsense, you won't die!" Yu Linglong interrupted quickly.
"I hope so." He smiled, "I'm just saying this just in case. Don't worry, I have a back-up plan, so you don't have to worry about Fei Nian coming to kill you."
After saying that, Duye Taki turned around and walked out of the house.
"Wait!" Yu Linglong suddenly called him.
"Um?"
"Be careful with Fei Nian—that person is no longer an ordinary new alchemist." Yu Linglong stared into his eyes and said every word.
"I will." Du Yelong nodded, "Of course, I will also keep an eye on you."
The door is closed.
"What, it seems that I underestimated you." Yu Linglong sat on the desk, crossed her legs and looked at "himself" who was tied to the bedside, "You are quite decent at imitating women's speech."
"Do you think I am happy with this?" Shadow said angrily, "Who is this all for?"
"Isn't it for yourself?"
"..." Shadow was a little stuck for a moment, "Okay, that's not wrong."
After being injured by Fei Nian, Yu Linglong handed over control of her body to Shadow. Whether she found Du Yelong or was tied to Liuzhou, it was Shadow who was negotiating with the other party, and Yu Linglong became a a bystander. Happily, she stepped back and found that the injury on her shoulder had stopped deteriorating—although it had not healed further, it was still at a controllable stage.
Yu Linglong speculated that that kind of weird magic could directly damage the soul, and there was no way to directly use Dui Shu to treat it. Even if he didn't die suddenly on the spot, he would definitely not survive for long. But Fei Nian didn't expect that she had two souls. When the shadow controlled the body, it suppressed the injury.
"But having said that, you are really good at reading people." Shadow muttered, "I didn't expect that once I tied myself up, that guy with the Hundred Flowers Sword would really be unable to move his hands."
"I can only say that I'm pretty lucky." Yu Linglong said modestly.
The choice of Takiba Taki among the remaining core members was exactly her choice. He is young and energetic, with passion and impulsiveness that matches his age - the former point means that he will not easily hurt the "weak" who cannot resist, The latter point means that he will not be so legalistic, and he is not so resistant to violating the rules of the Privy Council as long as it does not violate the bottom line.
It turns out she made the right choice.
After seeing Yu Linglong, Du Yelong's first reaction was to capture her and then hand her over to the headquarters for disposal. But she responded calmly. Not only did she throw the chain in front of him, but she also took the initiative to stretch out her hand and let him grab it. This attitude obviously made Doye Taki shaken. In addition, what Yu Linglong described was of great importance and could not find any logical loopholes. It was even more detailed and specific than Fei Nian's description. Baihua Sword also fell into hesitation for a while.
After thinking about it, he neither let Yu Linglong leave nor handed her over to the Privy Council, but quietly brought her to the Liuzhou front line. At that time, the transfer order had been issued, and Duyelong could not stay in Shangyuan for a long time, so he planned to look for Feinian's flaws here. After all, according to Yu Linglong's description, evil forces may have penetrated into the Privy Council House, and he had to act in secret.
"Is it just good luck?" Shadow sneered, "Who emphasized that the more you pretend to be a weak woman, the easier it is to win his trust? Who told me to just hum in a weak and pitiful voice when nothing happens? Yu Yu. Linglong, don’t think that I don’t know this, you are just playing with people’s hearts—”
Snapped! Yu Linglong flew up and slapped Shadow on the back of the head.
"You-" Shadow suddenly felt that something was not right. Why was it the one who was beaten when it was a shadow? Now that Yu Linglong was a shadow, it was still it that was beaten
However, its body was trapped by the chains, and it couldn't even get off the hook, let alone fight back.
A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences, so Shadow had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"But you are right..." Yu Linglong sighed after finishing the photo, "I did take advantage of him."
Her target is not Taki Taki.
She also did not reveal the shocking changes that had taken place in Jinxia City to Baihua Sword - the significance of this matter was too great, and she had to find a decisive opportunity to stop the war. Otherwise, if Anjia or the Black Sect find out, they will definitely nip this matter in the bud at all costs.
After a lot of twists and turns, Yu Linglong had once again sneaked into the "core" of the Privy Council Mansion, and had determined the specific location.
Late at night, Yu Linglong and Shadow changed places, and the seemingly tight confinement instantly fell away and turned into a pile of meaningless empty shelves.
"Sorry." She lowered her head slightly toward the bedroom outside, "But I can't wait until you find out the truth."
After saying that, the shadow controlled her body and pushed open the window, disappearing silently into the night.
