As if following the light, Ouyang Xiaoleng walked through the long and narrow tunnel and opened his eyes in the fragrance of plum blossoms. The figure sitting by the bed who was nodding due to exhaustion was the human girl he was familiar with. Her left hand was also held warmly by that person. He felt that maybe it was because it was the hand connected to the heart. There will be warmth overflowing from the heart.
Xia Qiu kept guarding Ouyang Xiaoleng who was in a coma, looking at his quiet face quietly. His hands were so cold that she didn't dare to look away from his face for a moment. All she could see was his breathing. Only the faint trembling of the end can make her feel at ease. She didn't know when she started to doze off. When she realized it, she opened her eyes suddenly, and a pair of gray-blue eyes were looking at her.
That time Xia Qiu was poisoned by Rakshasa Mother's stagnant water, it was Ouyang Xiaoleng who was watching her wake up by the bedside, but this time she was watching over him. The same anxious anticipation, just for a common feeling, this time of separation and death, is torture and test.
"Are you awake?" Xia Qiu looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng's beautiful face and couldn't bear to breathe or blink.
"Um."
Ouyang Xiaoleng just couldn't bear to wake up Xia Qiu. He was weak and sat in one position for a long time, and his body was a little stiff. He tilted his head back slightly and let out a sigh.
"Does it still hurt?" Xia Qiu asked distressedly with tears in her eyes.
"It doesn't hurt!"
In fact, even though he had taken the pain-relieving potion, the stabbing in his chest by Yasha still made him feel a faint pain when he spoke and breathed. But looking at Xia Qiu, whose eyes were red and swollen, how could he bear to say it out and make her feel worse? Worry.
"You have to tell Hongye and Yong-sama quickly that you are awake! In order to save you, Hongye kept giving his demonic power to you to heal your injuries. As soon as you were out of danger, he collapsed from exhaustion, and he doesn't know what's going on now." Xia Qiu sobbed. He rubbed his nose and said.
Her words made Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart tighten. If he hadn't been careless, Yasha's sneak attack would not have been successful, let alone all these troubles. Even a little bit of demonic power takes a long time to acquire. No one would use their demonic power to heal others unless it was a last resort. He knew very well that he was seriously injured, and it must have taken a lot of Ouyang Hongye's demon power to pull him back from the line of life and death.
He nodded and said to her: "Go ahead! I'll rest for a while!"
It was already dusk outside. When Xia Qiu walked outside Ouyang Yong's room, a solemn breath came from the house. There was no usual laughter and laughter inside, and the voices of Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye were so low.
"I just went to see Wang Yue. He seems fine. Although the mood of the princes has been calmed for the time being, there is no guarantee that they will not change their minds!" Ouyang Hongye frowned on his pale face, which was a pity for his handsome face. s face.
"well!"
Ouyang Yong's sigh revealed fatigue and worry. It seemed like it was just yesterday that he successfully solved the crisis of the divine pillar, and now he had to face such a difficult problem.
"I didn't expect that Qingyun would use such a method, letting Yasha sneak into Chenji Palace to take Xiao Leng's life, and successfully pass the blame on to Mochizuki!" Ouyang Hongye became angrier as he thought about it, and veins popped out in his clenched fists.
"Fortunately, Xiao Lengji escaped the disaster, otherwise..." Ouyang Yong's heart palpitations when he learned that Ouyang Xiaoleng's life was on the line could only be counted on one hand in thousands of years.
Xia Qiu was still outside the door, hesitating whether to go in, but she heard Ouyang Hongye's call: "Xia Qiu, is it you who are outside the door? Come in!"
"Xiao Leng has woken up. Although he is still a little weak, I want to tell you as soon as possible!" Xia Qiu walked around the plum blossom screen and walked into the house and said.
"Great! I can rest assured!" Ouyang Hongye's brows finally relaxed a little, and he said happily.
"Yes, yes, we finally have good news!" Ouyang Yong nodded.
"What happened?" Xia Qiu asked tentatively.
"The princes pointed the finger at Wang Yue for Xiao Leng's assassination, insisting that he and Yaksha were working together internally and externally. Under pressure, they had no choice but to follow their wishes and temporarily imprison Wang Yue in the dungeon!"
After hearing what Ouyang Hongye said, Xia Qiu exclaimed in astonishment: "How could this happen?!"
Ouyang Hongye comforted her and said: "In any case, Wangyue is safe for the time being. He is just suffering from some physical pain, so there is no need to worry about him!"
Ouyang Yong changed the topic at the side and asked: "Should we go see Xiao Leng now, or later?"
Ouyang Hongye thought for a while and said: "It will be later! Xia Qiu, you are also tired, I will ask Jingji to take you back! You can come directly to Fu Xing Hall tomorrow morning. I will meet Mu Ya at the school explained.”
Xia Qiu nodded and said: "Xiao Leng is still resting, so I won't go and say goodbye to him! If he wakes up and looks for me, tell me I'll come back tomorrow morning!"
Thorns still escorted Xia Qiu home like a little red bird, and in the blink of an eye, she left home for another day and night. Ever since Ouyang Xiaoleng used witchcraft to hypnotize her grandparents, they would no longer worry about her staying out at night. Worried that if her father occasionally asked about it on the phone, they would still smooth things over for her. At first, she felt guilty about this, but then she gradually felt that this way could make them happy and save them the trouble of explaining to them. It was the most appropriate method at the moment.
She fell on her bed, exhausted but unable to sleep. Although she had not been in contact with Mochizuki for a long time, she already fully understood his personality. The physical pain may be nothing to him, but with his temperament and being imprisoned unjustly, it will definitely cause him physical and mental frustration.
What troubled her was the powerful Qingyun. She understood more and more why everyone was afraid of him. Ouyang Xiaoleng had just ascended the throne, and something like this happened, which made her have to worry about the road ahead. She always felt that Qingyun's invisible claws were waiting for an opportunity to attack them not far away. Outside, the north wind slapped the window. She forced herself to close her eyes and stop thinking about these problems for the time being. She would go to the Royal City early tomorrow morning.
Ouyang Hongye lay beside the bed and gently called Ouyang Xiaoleng's name: "Hey, Xiaoleng!"
After Xia Qiu left, Ouyang Xiaoleng fell into a deep sleep again without knowing it, and when he woke up it was already night. After being woken up by Ouyang Hongye, he sat up from the bed. In his daze, his movements were a little too big and tore the wound on his chest. He couldn't help shouting: "Ah!"
"Be careful!" Ouyang Hongye reminded reproachfully.
"Have you caught Yaksha?" Ouyang Xiaoleng was most concerned about this question at the moment.
"No, Wang Yue tried her best to chase him, but still couldn't catch him, and Wang Yue was even imprisoned!" Ouyang Hongye shook his head and answered.
"What?"
Ouyang Hongye told the story of the future, and then asked Ouyang Xiaoleng, who had once faced Yasha, if he could recall any clues.
"I have an intuition that he came here simply for the Demon King's Crown, because the position where he attacked me is exactly where the Demon King's Crown is in my body!" Ouyang Xiaoleng thought for a moment and said.
"Crown of the Demon King?! It seems that he is still obsessed with using the evil power in the Black Fire Purgatory!"
"Or is it to release someone imprisoned in the Black Fire Purgatory? Xia Qiu once mentioned to me that when she was on Changsheng Island, Immortal Yuhe once told her that Qingyun went to Xianhequan Township a long time ago and tried to let her The Yuhe Immortal used the soul separation technique to communicate with someone imprisoned in the Black Fire Purgatory."
Ouyang Xiaoleng's words reminded Ouyang Hongye, and he said excitedly: "Then everything makes more sense! Why don't we let Wang Yue go secretly, tell him that he escaped on his own, and let him find a way to get in touch with Sanmu , looking for clues about this matter everywhere in the demon world!"
"I agree! If valuable information is found, his charges can be cleared! Moreover, those princes have always been suspicious and act according to the prevailing circumstances. There are probably people who have taken refuge in Qingyun among them, and they may ask for punishment soon. Wangyue, it’s better for him to leave the royal city quickly to avoid long nights and many dreams!”
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Ouyang Hongye said and walked out.
Late at night, in the dungeon of the royal city, a man wearing a black cloak appeared. The man's face was covered and it was difficult to tell who he was. Since Yasha escaped, the dungeon has been strengthened in security. The fact that this person can enter in such a disguise arouses Mochizuki's suspicion.
The man in black obviously concealed his demonic aura on purpose so that others could not judge his identity through his aura. He walked straight to the cell where Mochizuki was imprisoned, stretched out a hand from his cloak and touched it lightly, and the seal on the cell door fell down, and the lock was automatically opened again.
Wangyue wondered whether it was the person sent by Qingyun to kill him, so he stood up and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in black who walked into the cell put his hand to his lips to signal him to be silent, and then put his hand a little above his head. Normally, Wangyue would definitely try to resist such a psychedelic technique, but for some reason, in front of this person, he was completely defenseless and felt his whole body go limp before losing consciousness.
Mochizuki felt that someone had slapped her face several times, and she subconsciously prepared to resist, so she woke up. The person in front of him was none other than Ouyang Hongye. The two of them were in a dilapidated house.
He raised his head and asked Ouyang Hongye: "Where is this?"
Ouyang Hongye answered him with a smile: "Outside the city. Don't worry, it's safe here!"
"Shouldn't I be in the dungeon?" Mochizuki was still a little unbelievable.
"In order to prevent someone in the royal city from instigating those princes to change their minds one day and have to kill you, Xiao Leng and I have discussed that we should let you leave there temporarily!"
Mochizuki asked worriedly: "Won't anyone suspect that you let me go?"
An important reason why he was willing to bear the crime was Ouyang Hongye's innocence. If letting him go caused the princes to doubt Ouyang Hongye, then his efforts would be in vain.
"This will wrong you! You will be temporarily regarded as a traitor who surrendered to Qingyun and assisted Yaksha, and you will not be able to return to the royal city for a while! Only in this way can everyone believe that Yaksha was released from the dungeon The same person helped you leave!”
After hearing Ouyang Hongye's words, Wangyue found it difficult to accept it and shouted: "Then I might as well be locked up in prison!"
"Listen to me! Xiao Leng recalled that Yasha wanted to snatch the Demon King's crown from his body. According to our analysis, his purpose was probably not simply to use the power of the Black Fire Purgatory, but to Rescue someone from Blackfire Purgatory!”
"Oh?" Wangyue interrupted Ouyang Hongye.
"Exactly, the enemy has been hidden and we have been exposed, so that we have repeatedly fallen into Qingyun's tricks. So although it is wronged, you must become a shadow warrior for the king city, Xiao Leng and us at this moment, hiding in the darkness while collecting intelligence While doing your best to destroy Qingyun's conspiracy! I know how unfair this is to you, but..." Ouyang Hongye hesitated.
Mochizuki said with firm eyes: "Well, I understand! If that's the case, leave it to me! No matter what kind of samurai he is, as long as you still trust me, as long as you Hongye still treat me as a brother, we will fight against all odds. Mochizuki is there for you!"
