Where should they, the other Shuras, go? No one knows, not even themselves. A race that pursues absolute power naturally looks at these outsiders with admiration. But is this enough to combat the crime of regicide? What is more important in their minds? Bai Ya and the others didn't know anything, they just wanted to get out alive.
After passing through the layers of city walls, Jun Luanjiu helped them onto the tall horses and said:
"Leave this place to me. I didn't ask them to report to the city. With my badge, the people in the city won't stop you. I don't know where the spider demon is. Just ask the guards. .”
"Aren't you going back with us?" Liu Shenghan asked.
"They won't let me leave like this. They need an explanation." He looked back at the confused Shuras on the city wall, turned his head and gave them his badge, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"What if, what if it doesn't work?" Qi Huan glanced at the silent Aoyan and said to Jun Luanjiu, "If you have a problem...if we find him and take back Poseidon's magic weapon, we will definitely come. Looking for you. Or—or if you are finished here, you must go to the Imperial City to find us as soon as possible!"
Jun Luanjiu shook his head.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pick you up. You don't dare to waste a moment. After all, if you alert him when you are looking for someone and let him run away, it will be even more difficult."
"You overestimate us too much." Qi Huan smiled ugly, "We were afraid that he would fight us on the spot. You don't know, we suffered a lot last time."
"No. No one dares to mess around in Shura's royal city."
"But……"
But Shura's rule may have ended. It is only a matter of time before everyone in the world knows.
"If you don't go, it's really too late." Jun Luanjiu's voice became stern, like a warning.
Others knew that the back-and-forth conversation was just to give Aoyan more time. There was time to miss the past but no chance. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, the two of them couldn't even sit down and have a good talk, but troubles continued one after another. This made her brain, which was already like paste, even more sticky and unable to turn around.
She just felt tired and wanted to rest. But she also knew very well that she could not rest.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you stay." Bai Ya said suddenly, "You came here for your father, not for these magic weapons. Even if you don't bring anything back, the court will never make things difficult for you. Since you have Once you find the general, you should follow him at all times, just in case something unexpected happens - I'm not talking about accidents, I'm talking about don't get lucky and miss it again."
It wasn't like he was joking, but he was analyzing the pros and cons with her honestly, but his words didn't sound very nice. Jun Aoyan was a little angry and wanted to say something to him. After all, no matter what, she is not a heartless person. She stayed like this, ostensibly to help her father deal with this mess - but what could she say or do? To put it into detail, it seemed as if she had abandoned everyone and only cared about herself, leaving the next troubles to others and becoming the hands-off shopkeeper herself.
"Young Master Bai is right..." Surprisingly, Liu Shenghan also agreed, "You shouldn't let go of those you catch. It's us who advise you, not you who won't help us. Lord Shuangyue is here, and nothing will happen. .”
At this moment, Lord Shuangyue was sitting on the horse like a normal person, licking his nails, not in a hurry or paying attention to anything.
"I...but-" Jun Aoyan looked at her father with a complicated expression and hesitated to speak.
"I taught her that she should never abandon her comrades." Jun Luanjiu's tone was much gentler, "I knew she must want to come...but I didn't know that she really came. I was too passive and accepted it easily. Reality, don’t struggle, just go down the river. You and she follow her all the way in dangerous situations like Jiutian Kingdom, it’s a life-long friendship. Go, it’s not like you can’t come back.”
After saying that, he suddenly whistled. This whistle is very special. Normally no one would blow this tune. Before a few people could react, the horses under them suddenly raised their front hooves and flew away, leaving no time for them to hesitate. Apart from a few short, subconscious exclamations, the last thing Jun Luanjiu heard was his daughter's hysterical roar.
"Old guy - alive! Come to me alive!"
He suddenly smiled, revealing his old, slightly yellowed teeth. The dead girl has never learned any manners since she was a child.
Along the way, Qi Huan kept telling Ao Yan not to take it too seriously. After all, the old general holds a high position and his words carry weight in the Wu Kingdom. According to Shura's rules, even if the king dies, they must obey the orders of other superiors. Wasn't the king killed by Jun because of drunkenness? He didn't know the murderer either, so there was no reason why he would make things difficult for him. What's more, he has lived in Wu Kingdom for many years, and he must have a good idea of Shura's temperament, and there is nothing wrong with him.
Unfortunately, the horse ran too fast and the road was very bumpy. Along the way, he almost shouted and spoke to barely cover up the continuous sound of horse hooves. Twice, he even bit his tongue, which relieved the pain for a long time. But he didn't give up and continued to persuade, regardless of whether Aoyan was listening. In fact, she couldn't hear a few clear words and could only roughly guess the meaning. What's more, her heart is closed. Even if Qi Huan pours every word into her ears in front of her, she may not be able to hear it in her heart.
Not long after, they returned to the Imperial City of Wu Kingdom. Along the way, many vendors' stalls were trampled over, but they had no time to apologize. Just as they were about to rush into the city gate, the guards immediately pointed their weapons at them and forced them to dismount. Bai Ya sat on the horse and showed Jun Luanjiu's waistband without even looking at them. Several guards looked at each other with some suspicion.
"Did the general give it to you? We have to verify the authenticity."
Bai Ya threw the sign down without saying anything. They hurriedly picked it up and then checked it carefully. Qi Huan poked his head from behind. On the tall horse, they could look down at Shura, who was originally tall. This gave people the feeling of straightening their backs. However, the guards were too slow and they were all anxious.
"How to prove that he gave it to you and you didn't steal it from him?"
Bai Ya was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and stared at them with wide eyes. Liu Shenghan said from behind:
"The king asked us to go back to the city first and gave us his belt. Others are still in the Temple of War, with the king and the others. Something seems to have happened there, and it is not convenient for us to participate, so he asked us to come back first. If you don't believe it , you can send someone to see it, or wait for the general to come back, and then you can ask clearly. Please let us in first. The king and the generals are not here, how can we be a threat? "
This is what I think. Shura returned the belt card to Bai Ya and said:
"...No problem, let's go." 04
Bai Ya rode his horse in first, and Qi Huan stopped his horse in front of the guards.
"Well, the king asked us to call a... a spider demon, it should be called Luowu, right? She asked us to send a message, saying that if there is something urgent, we should go to the Temple of War to see him. Where is he?"
"Oh, I understand. We will send someone to fetch him."
"No, no, no, the king asked us to take him there. Just tell us where he is..."
Although several guards were a little suspicious, they still told them. After all, in Shura's territory, they didn't dare to make trouble if they thought about it. It seemed that the people in the palace really didn't know what was going on at the Temple of War, and Jun Luanjiu had indeed blocked the news. He was indeed talkative, and Jun Aoyan felt a little comforted.
"I thought that guy was under protection. Who knew it would be so easy to ask. I didn't expect that he was quite close to us."
"The guest room is this area...and, I think, he has not gained the trust of the Shura, otherwise he would not tell us so easily." Liu Shenghan answered Qi Huan, and then thought for a moment, "However, since he is The monster should have known we were here for a long time. But he has never met us, so if we go to see him on this trip, we won't necessarily start a fight."
Bai Ya deduced: "Then the thing must still be in his hand. Otherwise, Shura would not still be wary of him."
If so, it would save a lot of trouble. They came to the courtyard and discussed whether to go upstairs together to find someone, or to let one person go up to inquire first, and then greet everyone when the time was right. Qi Huan felt that too many people would alert the snake, and Liu Shenghan also felt that it made sense; but Bai Ya said that in a place like this, he couldn't go anywhere, and Jun Aoyan also supported him. Everyone had their own thoughts. Only Lord Shuangyue said nothing during the whole journey. At this time, he just crossed his arms and looked up at the room that should belong to Luowu with the windows closed.
"He's not here."
Mr. Shuangyue is determined.
"What?" Bai Ya suddenly looked at him, "Are you sure?"
"...Really? Haven't you gone up yet?" Qi Huan looked at the building and then at the building across the yard. There is their room on that side, the courtyard is very large, and there is a road on that side. In theory, Shuoyue-kun will not come here.
"Um."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jun Aoyan frowned, a little unhappy.
"A few days ago, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the atmosphere here. After all, the whole royal city was full of fish and dragons, and the smell of monsters was difficult to distinguish. But now, I notice that it is a little cleaner than then, and there are indeed monsters. His breath has become much lighter. And he should...have not been gone for long."
"You put it like that..." Liu Shenghan raised his head hesitantly, "It seems to be true."
"Aren't you a doctor? You should have noticed it immediately. Have you been slacking off for too long?"
"About, probably..."
Liu Shenghan's tone rarely sounded guilty. At this moment, Bai Ya rushed upstairs. Several people were stunned for a moment and then rushed up. Several pairs of feet were pounding, and the old stairs, which had been in disrepair for a long time, seemed to collapse at any time. When he arrived at the door, Bai Ya kicked it open, only to find that there was nothing inside.
They walked into the house and found that everything in the room was basically neatly arranged, and it didn't look like someone had lived there. But Liu Shenghan sniffed the air gently, with a sad look on his face.
"Sure enough... maybe he just left."
"Tsk." Qi Huan casually flipped through a few drawers.
"Why, can he still leave the amber behind?"
"Try your luck!"
Lord Shuangyue looked at him as if he was looking at a fool and said, "...It's still too late to chase after him quickly."
"Wait a minute!" Jun Aoyan suddenly knocked the floor with his Mo Dao, "Why did he run away? Could it be that someone reported to him? But other people don't seem to know about this. Could it be that they are pretending?"
"He may have bribed a single guard...or has friends." Liu Shenghan thought, "Will he be here?"
"Probably not. Otherwise, if the entire imperial city knows about it, can we still come in?"
Qi Huan retorted to Bai Ya, "What if you want to catch a turtle in an urn?"
"Are you a turtle?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"You said it yourself."
Qi Huan jumped up and down in anger. Is now the time for such a joke?
