Chapter 234
Lin Qingyang could only entertain the saint to sit in the yard temporarily, but he still couldn't let her know that Qi Ci was here.
Lin Qingyang poured a cup of hot tea for the saint, and couldn't help but said: "You Tianheng Kingdom..."
"Only I know. After all, you are still alive, which proves that Qi Ci will be fine. I'm just worried... I don't know if I can help you." The saint said bluntly.
"Since you know I'm fine, you don't need to ask any more questions." Lin Qingyang still didn't give an accurate answer.
Upon hearing such an answer, the saint just smiled in relief and stopped asking.
It's so easy to talk, it makes Lin Qingyang feel embarrassed. "Your Black Feather Guard has already died in that palace, so you can pursue it as you please. If you do other things, it may attract attention instead."
The saint nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry, as far as I know, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has already put the blame on His Highness Baya. He didn't suspect anything."
Lin Qingyang was a little surprised, because Yuechen and the others hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know about the subsequent development of the court.
"After investigation, it was discovered that His Royal Highness Baya secretly prepared a lot of fire oil agencies to imprison Qi Ci's palace, and left a lot of evidence. Although I don't know why it turned into explosives, but there is no proof of death, this crime can only be held on his head. Go up. Xiyue Kingdom has changed from being the pursuer to being the one being pursued. The emperor of Zhou Dynasty has sent someone to Xiyue Kingdom, and it is estimated that Xiyue Kingdom will pay compensation to our two countries." The saint also knew that there must be a problem , but up to now, it can only be said that Baya harmed others and eventually harmed himself.
Lin Qingyang understood that the emperor originally wanted to blame Ning Ziheng, but found that Baya was also among them, and it was better to use it to avoid direct conflict between Da Zhou and Tian Heng, so he naturally threw the blame on the dead Baya.
After the saint finished talking about the key things, she got up and left without staying, "Our Tianheng Kingdom will stay here for five more days, if..." The saint said here, smiled, and said: "I think you are all Capable people should not need my help, I hope you are all well."
After the saint finished speaking, she bowed and saluted. Lin Qingyang hurriedly returned the salute, and was about to send the saint away.
As a result, just as the saint turned around, she saw Qi Ci on the steps.
When Lin Qingyang saw Qi Ci come out, he stood silently aside.
Qi Ci walked in front of the saint in silence and knelt down on both knees.
The saint hurriedly wanted to help Qi Ci up, but Qi Ci still insisted on finishing the salute.
The saint said, "A Wu, aren't you going back with me?"
Qi Ci nodded and said: "I have people to protect and responsibilities to fulfill. The saint rescued me from hell, and I will never forget it in this life. I hope... I will have a chance to repay it in the future."
The saint shook her head and said: "God guides me. Maybe you still have many unfinished fates in this world. I just follow God's will. Now, it is your blessing that you can find your place in the world. Cherish it." " Having said this, the saint paused for a moment, and said with a worried expression: "I know your identity, maybe... there will be opportunities in the future, I hope you can maintain peace as much as possible, so that the people of the world will suffer less from the war, and you will naturally will suffer less."
Qi Ci's eyes flashed, "I will try my best."
The saint smiled, and did not force her to resign. She knew that many times, it was the people at the top who really decided the fate of the people in the world, but those people's hearts were extremely firm. She tried hard to change, but it was always in vain. .
The saint made a blessing gesture to Qi Ci at last, and left.
Looking at the back of the saint girl leaving, Lin Qingyang really couldn't help sighing, the book is really not exaggerated at all, beautiful, wise and kind-hearted, such a woman is indeed perfect and holy, and it is not to blame when she died, Readers scolded the hero in the comment section.
Even Lin Qingyang wanted to knock Chu Lishu's head off.
It didn't take long for Yuechen and Huo Luo to come back. They had already arranged everything. After midnight, when Huo Luo was on duty, they could take people out.
The four sat in the courtyard and talked.
"After you go out, let's see you off to the hospital. It's more remote. There is only Liu Mansion around, so it's safe." Lin Qingyang said.
"Li Shu said before, to send it to his house, after all, there are too many people, it's not convenient for your house." Yuechen said.
Lin Qingyang thought about it for a while, and the sudden addition of a few people would still scare the people in the mansion. He was full of ordinary people.
Suddenly a thought flashed in Lin Qingyang's mind, strange, it stands to reason that Chu Lishu has his own territory, and it is a safer and more secure place, why does he still stay in other courtyards... Lin Qingyang's heartbeat accelerated, and he couldn't help it. Fantasies come up all the time, maybe... want to be with him?Hahaha, ah, it's so shameful to think so, my skin is getting thicker and thicker.
"Mu Huichun is also taken away together, is he resting now?" Huo Luo asked.
"Well, Li Shu is in my room." Lin Qingyang said.
Yue Chen spit out a mouthful of tea, and said speechlessly, "You let the two of them sleep in the same bed?"
Lin Qingyang didn't think it was strange, did they all think that Chu Lishu was the master and shouldn't just share a bed with someone?
The corner of Yuechen's mouth twitched, "I sympathize with Xiaomu."
Huo Luo also smiled and said, "How about the glass book?"
"He slept soundly. I changed his medicine."
It wasn't until this moment that he had been silently observing their Qi Ci that he realized that these two people never mentioned the word His Highness in front of Lin Qingyang. Could it be that Lin Qingyang didn't know Chu Lishu's real identity, but gained their trust ?This is really strange.
Qi Ci is cautious, and will avoid uncertain information.
Immediately, Yuechen talked about the situation outside, but he heard that the saintess had come to explain it.
At this time, Yuechen's curiosity was aroused. Anyway, he still had time, so he couldn't help asking about Qi Ci's past, about the saint, about the west of the palace.
"The Holy Maiden is indeed my savior. If she hadn't appeared, I would have died at the hands of Gosho Nishi. Gosho Nishi is a... cruel lunatic. I was caught by Gosho Nishi's people a year ago. "Qi Ci slowly talked about his experience.
Four years ago, Qi Ci was ordered to lead troops against Tianheng Kingdom, but he encountered a trap and almost died in the hands of Baya.There are many wandering tribes in that area, and they would go to the battlefield to search for things from the dead to exchange for money. One of the old people found that Qi Ci was still alive, so he took him back to the tribe and slowly treated him with local methods. Thanks to Qi Cifu's life He actually woke up after lying down for three months, but at that time, Qi Ci had lost his memory and completely forgot who he was.It was also because they were a wandering tribe and did not have a fixed location, so those who hunted for Qi Ci failed to find him, so they escaped Zhao Cheng's silence operation safely.
After that, Qi Ci lived with the old man in the tribe, but the wandering tribe was often robbed, killed, and robbed women by other bigger forces.Qi Ci, who recovered his body, naturally protected everyone with his martial arts, but in a siege, Qi Ci was captured alive in order to protect his people and leave, put in chains, became a slave, was resold non-stop, and finally flowed to the west of the Imperial Palace in the hands of his subordinates.
Those subordinates were looking for strong slaves for Gosho Sai's pleasure.
When Qi Ci said this, the other three couldn't help being taken aback.
They heard that the Tianheng Kingdom Regent's way of making fun is the Colosseum. Only then did they realize that Qi Ci...has he been to the Colosseum?
Lin Qingyang's expression was even more obviously froze.
Does Chu Lishu know this?
You should... know, after all, when Mu Huichun healed Qi Ci, he mentioned those strange wounds. Chu Lishu is so smart, how could he not know about it.But he didn't recover his memory, so... it should be fine.
And just when Lin Qingyang was astonished, Yuechen and the others began to question angrily.
Qi Ci lifted up his hair and exposed the back of his neck.
A brand mark appeared on it, it was something like a seal, with a word filled in the circle.
"beast"
Lin Qingyang's heartbeat quickened instantly. He had seen the scene of Chu Lishu arranging Qi Ci's collar a few times, and he didn't think anything of it before, but now that he realized it, wasn't it an intentional cover-up?And every time after covering up, Chu Lishu's face became very ugly.
Why?Did Chu Lishu remember?Afraid that he would be worried, so...
"Everyone who enters the Colosseum will leave this mark. I have stayed in it for half a year and passed ten levels." Qi Ci's expression rarely changed, and his mood rarely fluctuated, but when he said this paragraph, The hostility in his body couldn't stop coming out.
As if feeling danger, he couldn't stop trembling.
"Ten levels?" Yue Chen asked.
Qi Ci closed his eyes and said slowly: "The garden of all kinds of beasts is divided into thirteen levels according to the difficulty level, lions, tigers, wild bears, wolves, pythons, etc...there are many and wild animals, Whenever Gosho West wants to watch a performance, the beasts will be starved for a few days in advance, and then the slaves will be randomly entered into different animal gardens to fight. As long as they can survive and walk from the entrance to the exit, it will be considered a success. After success, they will be given a chance to heal And delicious food, and those who don't succeed will become the beast's plate."
The reason why Qi Ci's fighting style became so wild was also tempered during that time. Even his temperament has changed a lot, almost turning him into a wild beast.If he hadn't recovered his memory now, people who knew him probably wouldn't be able to recognize him without his appearance.
All their slaves will be locked up in a centralized place, they will eat by robbing, and raw meat can be picked up and gnawed. Everything is for living, there is no dignity or shame at all, and sometimes there will be death fights between slaves, because Their humanity has been gradually lost in the struggle with the beasts.
During those six months, the number of people in the same place continued to decrease and increase, and the shadow of death at any time also affected Qi Ci, torturing his spirit and soul.It's not that he didn't want to escape, but he couldn't escape at all.If you escape once, you will be put into the Colosseum once. Gradually, everyone will be domesticated, but Qi Ci is still a tough nut to crack. If you keep running away, you will always be punished. In the end, you can only choose the most difficult path. .
"Those randomly arranged performances are for Gosho Nishi, and there is only one level each time. Breaking through the level is a completely different scam. Gosho West has set a rule that as long as you sign up actively, those who pass thirteen levels in a row can get Freedom. After I went through thirteen levels and gained experience, I wanted to go through it alone in exchange for freedom, but I only reached the tenth level, the crocodile pond, and almost died in it. At that time, the saint appeared, and she At that time, he was about to go to Dazhou as an envoy, and Gosho Nishi didn't know what he thought of, so he insisted on coming together. The saint saw that I was dying, so she made a deal with me, so I became the saint's black feather guard and saved my life. Gosho Nishi followed here."
When Qi Ci finished speaking, his whole body was unconsciously tense, and the veins in his arms were protruding due to the force. That period of time was a nightmare for him, and he didn't know how he survived.
Huo Luo smashed a corner of the table with his palm, and said angrily, "It's inhuman, he must be a beast."
"Sure enough!" Yue Chen said coldly, "This kind of person should be imprisoned in the Colosseum forever."
Qi Ci breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "He is indeed sick, and his Colosseum has been verified by himself."
Yue Chen and Huo Luo were startled, and looked at Qi Ci in confusion.
Qi Ci said directly: "The saint said that when he built the Colosseum, he went through the thirteen levels by himself, almost died in it, and was seriously injured for half a year. It is said that there are people who can pass the thirteen levels and are still alive. There are only two of them on the record over there, one is him and the other is a lunatic."
Lin Qingyang, who had already turned pale after hearing Qi Ci's experience, felt as if his heart had been pinched so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Both Yuechen and Huo Luo were shocked by the madness of Yusuoxi, only Lin Qingyang asked with a trembling voice: "That madman..."
Qi Ci was not surprised, and said directly: "I heard that it was also sold to Yusuoxi, because he was a lunatic with very strong martial arts. He killed a wild beast when he entered the Colosseum for the first time. Xi likes it. Because it is too dangerous, it is held in solitary confinement, but that is not a good way of confinement. I also saw that thing where we were staying. It was a huge iron cage in the yard, surrounded by With iron chains, it’s not difficult to imagine that it’s like being tied to a wild animal. Usually, the neck and limbs are tied up, which is even less human than us. Although he only stayed there for three months, because Gosho Nishi liked to watch, So he spent more time in the Colosseum than me, and it is said that during that time, the slaves who came with him lived an extra three months because of this."
"Then he passed the thirteenth level, did Yusuoxi let him go?" Yuechen couldn't help but wonder.
"How is it possible? He is a lunatic. How could Yushoxi fulfill his promise to a lunatic? We say he is a slave, but he is actually like his domesticated pet. When he meets someone who suits his heart, he will always stay by his side for fun, so I I just said it was a scam. I heard that after the lunatic broke through the thirteen levels, he was dying but still alive. Gosho Nishi loved him to a paranoid level, and quickly cured him. Even he went crazy and killed the Gosho Xi's woman, Yusuo Xi was not angry, but took him on a hunting trip, and at that time, the lunatic escaped."
"Escaped? Good!" Huo Luo said angrily, "He must be so angry, he deserves it."
"Although that man is a lunatic, but his martial arts are so strong, he must be a helpless person. I hope he can do well in the future." Yuechen said.
Qi Ci nodded, "It's good to be able to escape, there is no place in the world that is closer to death and despair."
Just as he was talking, Lin Qingyang suddenly stood up, and the three of them looked at him suspiciously.
I saw that Lin Qingyang's face had lost all color, and even the blood on his trembling lips had faded away. His whole body seemed to be enveloped in extreme grief and anger, but he couldn't even make an expression.
"Qing Yang?" Yue Chen asked in astonishment.
Lin Qingyang was out of his wits, and said in a weak and hoarse voice: "I'll go...to see them..." After finishing speaking, he turned and ran.
But as soon as he ran into his own courtyard next door, he saw Chu Lishu standing in the courtyard.
He stood there with no expression on his face, his eyes diverged, as if he was thinking about something, the cold wind in the winter night blew past, lifted his clothes and hair, his face was white, he should be standing in the cold wind It's been a while.
Lin Qingyang froze in a daze, looking at Chu Lishu, suddenly saw him slowly moving the corners of his mouth, trying to show a smile, and his slightly divergent eyes were gradually turning gentle.But Lin Qingyang felt pain like being pierced by a sharp sword.
Chu Lishu forced a smile, not wanting Lin Qingyang to worry, but the next second, his expression froze, and then he ran forward anxiously, reaching out to touch Lin Qingyang's cheek.
And there were already tears streaming down his face.
"What's the matter? Don't cry, I'm fine... I'm really fine." Chu Lishu hurriedly said, his voice became firmer, as if he wasn't the one who recalled the bad past just now, and now he just wanted to stop Lin Qingyang's tears kept falling.
Lin Qingyang didn't know when he cried, but it really hurt, his heart hurt so much, his body hurt so badly that he couldn't speak.
It's not that he didn't think about what happened to Chu Lishu in Tianheng Kingdom, it's not that he wasn't mentally prepared.
But no amount of psychological preparation can match the facts that Qi Ci said just now.
He wished that the treasure he held in his palm had experienced such a thing.He felt like his heart was about to burst.
Why!Why!Why!Such a good person, such a precious prince, why did he have to go through such pain in addition to the original description? Why!
Lin Qingyang even began to fantasize that if he died earlier, would he come here earlier, find him, take him away, and protect him before he has experienced everything?
Why can't I come earlier?
Why let Chu Lishu go through this alone.
He should... kill Gosho Nishi now!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyang turned around and was about to leave, but was caught by Chu Lishu. Naturally, Chu Lishu saw the murderous look in his eyes and understood what he wanted to do on impulse, so he immediately reached out and hugged him Lin Qingyang.
"Qingyang, don't be impulsive, it's okay, don't worry, I won't let any enemy go, let's take our time, don't get angry, okay? Don't do this, you will hurt yourself." Chu Lishu hugged Lin tightly Qingyang, however, inexplicably comforted himself, as if following what he said, he looked down on everything.
On the contrary, Chu Lishu began to feel sorry for Lin Qingyang, making the hug even tighter, but the next second, Lin Qingyang hugged him and began to cry, as if his emotions had completely collapsed.
"But, he... you... Li Shu, Li Shu..."
"I'm here, I'm here right now. There's no pain or itching on my body, and there's not a single scar left. Doesn't that mean it didn't happen?" Chu Lishu listened to Lin Qingyang calling his name in distress , softly coaxing and comforting Lin Qingyang.But at the same time, I felt that my heart was stuffed full, and it was stuffed with cotton warmed by the sun, which was warm and comfortable.
But these words are even more heartbreaking to Lin Qingyang.There was no trace on Chu Lishu's body, whether it was the protagonist's halo or the side effect of taking Tianxuan Pill, the scars would fade away, leaving only smooth and flawless skin in the end.So at the beginning, Chu Lishu didn't think about what he had experienced. Maybe there was a brand on his neck, but it was gone.How ironic that everything happened without any proof.
Lin Qingyang's tears seemed to be broken, and he buried his head on Chu Lishu's shoulder, whimpering with grievance, coughing constantly, and trembling.
Chu Lishu was worried that he would hold his breath, so he drew a little distance away, raised his head, looked at his almost crying face, and for a moment felt that he was more uncomfortable and unhappy than thinking about Tianheng Kingdom's past.
Yusuoxi really deserves to die for causing Qingyang to shed so many tears.
Chu Lishu could only wipe away Lin Qingyang's tears with his hands, and comforted him more gently, but Lin Qingyang's tears couldn't be stopped, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he even started to lose his footing due to lack of oxygen up.
Looking at the wet and sticky eyelashes trembling slightly, the brows were all wrinkled, crying pitifully, twitching.
Chu Lishu couldn't help it suddenly, and leaned over directly.
In an instant, the crying stopped.
Lin Qingyang was stunned, and his eyes that kept weeping suddenly widened, staring stupidly at the handsome face who was close at hand.
Chu Lishu left with a light touch, and looked at him with a smile, "Are you still crying?"
Lin Qingyang's brain crashed, he couldn't react, his brain was buzzing, because he was crying too much just now, and now there were bursts of illusion in front of his eyes, but he stared at Chu Lishu with rounded eyes, but the tears unexpectedly matched drop.
Chu Lishu was amused, "Are you still crying?"
So, the second kiss fell.
This time it's not about leaving at the touch of a button, but with the bitterness of tears and the sweetness and tenderness of love.
Chu Lishu hugged Lin Qingyang and kissed him in the winter night. Such a beautiful memory can probably replace any painful memory in the past.
