Religious ascetics in Bermuda like the tune of ringing the bell, but even the most devout ascetics don't have enough perseverance and physical strength to continue this work for a full day and night cycle. Xu Le and Huaicao Shi in the prison cell of the White Master Fan Mansion, in the dark environment without any bystanders, fought fiercely for a day and a night, and finally stopped. Those soldiers outside the courtyard were shocked. The timid bell came to an end, and did not ring again.
Two people who stand in each other's camps cannot be friends, let alone become partners, as the crazy master Fan said, but they must admit that they have always had some kind of battle in terms of fighting. The tacit understanding, whether it was last year's battle royale in the sea of mulberry trees, or today's trapped room fight, is the same.
At that time, a piece of the outer skin of the wall, which was beaten softly by the shock, fell down unnoticed, making a soft sound on the ground covered with rubble, and the two men who were struck in a dangerous and awe-inspiring fight slowed down their hands almost simultaneously. Rhythm, vigilantly watching every tiny movement of each other's body, slowly retreating to the walls on both sides to sit down.
This is tacit understanding, but also helpless. At this time, Xu Le had turned into a bloody man, his right arm was completely drooping by his waist, and his bones seemed to be all broken. She was as indifferent as usual and didn't touch the dust, but the blood oozing from the ribs of the military uniform, the trembling fingertips because of fatigue, and the right leg that dragged tragically on the way back, all fully demonstrated that she was also severely injured.
No one knows how intense the previous battle in this claustrophobic room was. If the serious injuries they suffered were placed on someone else, I'm afraid that person would have died long ago, and only Xu Le and Huai Cao Shi were the two vital forces. A guy who is tenacious enough to be terrified and then admired can always support and keep fighting.
It's just that at this point in the battle, no one can kill anyone, but the strength in their bodies is almost exhausted, and it is no longer difficult to withstand high-intensity battles.
perhaps.
Just maybe.
At this moment, they are sitting under the two residual walls with the last flame hidden in their bodies. They are always waiting to burst out and burn the most powerful enemy on the opposite side, who seems to be unable to escape. However, neither of them moved, no All the last life force burst out, probably because this cell gave them a strange feeling, they were only separated from the real world by a wall that was not thick, and they could break through the wall at any time and devote themselves to it. They need to be among their relatives and friends, and their lives should not be gambled here.
The wall skin was still rustling from time to time, but the two of them didn't take a look. They sat cross-legged by the wall according to their accustomed postures, and took all the time to recover their strength as soon as possible.
Clear water was sprinkled on the ground full of dust and gravel, mixed with the smell of blood and water, with a faint fishy odor. There was no light in the prison, and it was dark and I don’t know if it was day or night. Two powerful young men hid in the cage like beasts. They are licking their wounds in their own territory, accumulating strength, and waiting for the next battle, but their territories seem to be too close, so close that they can hear each other's breathing and feel what the other party is thinking.
No one spoke, the passage of time could not be felt in the dark room, and no sound from the outside could be heard in the quiet environment.
However, both Huai Cao Shi and Xu Le are very sure that the outside of Master Fan's house must be very lively at the moment, and the entire empire must have fallen into madness.
I don't know what the fireworks will look like when this madness finally explodes.
Xu Le curled up and coughed violently, constantly wiping the blood dripping from his lips, thinking with a hint of sadness, even if he didn't die in the hands of Huaicao Shi, how could it be possible that he had suffered such a serious injury Escape from the siege of the imperial army
"Your Majesty! We strongly demand an attack!"
Inside the Imperial Palace, several officers in their thirties knelt on their knees, looking at the back of the supreme being with excitement, blood on their foreheads, and one of the officers shouted in a grief-stricken voice: " Your Majesty, no one knows if His Highness is safe inside, Master Fan's mansion does not have heavy firepower, as long as you give your order, my troops will only need three minutes to solve the battle and rescue His Highness!"
"Your Majesty, please make a decision early, the army cannot live without His Highness!"
Several officers knelt heavily on the ground again and kowtowed vigorously until the wound on their forehead burst open again, shedding fresh blood.
The Imperial Emperor Huaifuchai never turned around, and his face remained expressionless. He did not have any negative views in his heart for these daring officers who dared to urge him. He knew better than anyone what kind of prestige the daughter he was proud of had in the army.
"Master Fan is the uncle of your Highness, could he still hurt her? Why attack?" The emperor waved his hand casually and said, "If something really goes wrong, she can't come out by herself, do you think you really It only takes three minutes to succeed?"
"We have assembled a mecha brigade and three heavy armored regiments." The officers' backs were already wet with cold sweat. They gritted their teeth and insisted on their opinions. "A group attack can solve the problem."
The emperor no longer talked to these officers who were loyal to his daughter. He waved his hands tiredly and drove them all out of the palace, while he came to the side of the bar and looked at the endless night in front of him and the whiteness of the sky. fell into a long silence.
After a long time, the truly most powerful man in the universe muttered to himself: "The genius family is indeed prone to lunatics and idiots, but if this problem is so easy to solve, the yard would have been built hundreds of years ago. resolved."
The slums shrouded in the dark night in the distance seeps of light, and the white courtyard is very clearly illuminated. The emperor frowned slightly and looked there, trying to convince himself not to worry too much about his proud daughter, but always. I feel that there is a shadow constantly spinning in my heart.
In the early hours of the morning, the night was still dark, but the slums of Kyoto were brightly lit. The mechanical troops who entered the slums in the name of military exercises were on standby nervously on the crushed ruins, reflecting the metal rays of light. Like a ghost, it shuttled around the edge of the searchlight line, always ready to launch a surprise attack on the white courtyard.
The poor and untouchables who live here are kept far away from the security line by the police department and the security department. These lower-class people, who are busy all day long for survival, look over there in horror, not knowing what happened. , many of whom looked at their homes in ruins and began to cry softly.
At one of the street intersections, a fat middle-aged woman was huddling in the crowd and looking over there. From time to time, she would scolded the people who were vying for the seat next to her, or shoved away the high barriers in front of her. She was tall, and no one noticed that her eyes were full of deep worry and anxiety.
"Mom, let's go back." Paul squeezed over sweating profusely, looked around nervously, tugged at the cheap clothes on his mother's body, and said in a low voice, "It can't be brother... It is impossible for a wanted noble to cause such a commotion, and the surrounded white yard is not an ordinary place."
Aunt Susan ignored her son's persuasion and didn't turn around to leave. She just looked sadly at the yard that was about to be seen in the distance. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said, "The child hasn't come back for more than two days. , I don't know why, but I know he must be there."
"Although I know that you are Nasri's son, you may have the ability to avoid chip monitoring, but I still did not expect that you can really hide for so long under the search of the empire, I am very curious, the past six months Time, where are you hiding?"
In the dark prison without a trace of light, Huaicao Shi's hoarse and tired voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Le was a little surprised that she would speak. After a moment of silence, she said, "Remember the bet we made on the spaceship? I said, I can escape. But I won't tell you how I did it."
The room returned to a dead silence again, except for the slight flow of water and gravel on the ground.
"It seems that the Sheriff's Office and the Intelligence Agency's control over the slums is really poor. There are too many hidden things in these dark and dirty areas. The pariahs have long been accustomed to dealing with the will of the empire. You are hiding here, indeed. It was a very good choice.”
Xu Le froze slightly, wondering if the other party had guessed something, so naturally he refused to answer, but listening to the condescending and contemptuous taste in her words, thinking of dear Aunt Susan and Paul, he couldn't bear it. She shook her head and said, "In my opinion, the dark and filthy things you're talking about are truly gentle, kind, and merciful. As for the pariahs in your mouth, they have a noble sentiment that your nobles can't match."
"What's the name of the woman who was fooled by you? Susan? After she seems to be a low-level noble, it seems that she is really good to you."
Huaicao Shi's squinted eyes shone in the darkness, not like a gem, but like a drawn sword.
Xu Le's pupils shrank suddenly, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart and the deeply hidden fear, and said in a deep voice, "You can't find them."
"You underestimate the power of the Empire."
Xu Le was silent for a long time, his tired and seriously injured body seemed so weak at the moment, he said slowly in a rustling voice: "Tell me about your conditions."
Huaicao Shi squinted his eyes like a machete, looked at Xu Le under the opposite wall through the dark space, and after a while he said with a strong sarcasm: "This is the empire, and it will be my country in the future, that Susan is my subject, want me to To threaten a Confederate enemy with one of my subjects is a humiliation to me."
"I know very well the thinking habits of you big men. If you want to punish Aunt Susan afterwards, it must be in compliance with the law, but in fact... you are blackmailing me."
The strong anger in Huaicao Shi's curved eyes flashed away, and after a moment of silence, she said indifferently: "I don't care about your understanding, if it's a threat, what conditions can you promise me? It's like you think you understand. My habit of thinking, and I understand the habit of thinking of you moral mongers, hypocrisy is your label, and guilt is your greatest source of pleasure... If I asked you to commit suicide, would you agree?"
