"If you, Gang Leader Li, hadn't been so despicable and resorted to all possible means, such as whimsically resorting to such despicable and vicious tactics, would I have come here to die for no reason?"
In order to save Princess Huanyu, Ling Yun came to Da Nei Palace alone to meet Li Ruiyun. In the face of his opponent's provocation, he showed no weakness and retorted.
"Hahaha... The eldest son praised me so much, Mr. Li is so flattered!" Li Ruiyun's evil face broke into a bohemian smile.
"Actually, sometimes the method and process are not the most important. As the saying goes: Different paths lead to the same goal, different approaches lead to the same result, as long as the expected effect is achieved! And the facts have also proved that Mr. Li's method is still effective when used on you, Ling Yun. You I finally came obediently!"
"Different paths lead to the same goal, different paths lead to the same goal, Li Ruiyun, you are clearly using whatever means necessary!" Ling Yun's eyes were blood red and he was gritting his teeth.
"No matter what time it is, Ling Yun, you still have such a powerful mouth and are so unreasonable!" Li Ruiyun smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at him up and down with a hint of probing.
"In plain clothes and a sword - Ling Yun, Mr. Li really admires your courage to go to the meeting alone... ah no, it should be the courage to go to the meeting alone with a sword! To be fair, Mr. Li really admires it! I want to make friends with a strong-willed hero like you! Alas, it’s a pity that we are enemies.”
"Stop talking nonsense," Ling Yun's eyes were serious, and his deep voice suppressed the surging anger, "Where is Princess Huanyu? Bring her to see me immediately!"
"Let's get back to the topic right away. You are so anxious to meet this beauty! In that case, let's get back to the business." Li Ruiyun raised his eyebrows casually, turned around and whispered to Wan'er beside him, "Go and meet her. Look at Luo Fengwei."
Wan'er understood and turned around. After a moment, he turned around and was followed by the female disciple of Tian Xiao, who was dressed in green and dozens of guards.
Under the escort and hostage of the guards, a woman with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes was pushed and pushed towards this side.
She half-closed her eyes listlessly, her frail body trembling uncontrollably, her snow-white clothes covered with dripping blood, and the crimson sunset made her cold-white jade face look even more bleak and desolate.
She was swaying, so weak that she could hardly move, as if she would turn into smoke and disappear in the dappled sunlight the next moment.
"Huanyu..." The moment he saw her, Ling Yun's fingertips began to tremble violently, his lips pursed tightly, and there was anger and pain between his eyebrows. He paused for a long time before reluctantly speaking.
Huanyu also saw him at this time. A flash of stunning light suddenly appeared in her dim eyes, "Zhichao, you are finally here! Save me, come and save me!..."
She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her excitement was like that of a wandering, confused person who suddenly found her way and lost her way.
She shouted heartbreakingly, wishing she could rush to him, throw herself into his warm and solid arms, seek his comfort, and cry out about the grievances she had suffered these days... But she couldn't.
The wolf-like and tiger-like guards on both sides clung to her weak shoulders, baring their teeth and claws, ruthlessly and without any mercy; and she, under the restraints of those ferocious minions, was like a weak chicken cub succumbing to the claws of an eagle. , can only struggle in vain, but there is no way.
"Let her go. If anything happens, come to me." Ling Yun rolled his Adam's apple twice and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Okay, you are indeed a man. Mr. Li admires your sense of responsibility and responsibility!" Li Ruiyun looked at Ling Yun with a faint look in his eyes, and calmly ordered the guards, "Let the princess go." open."
The white feather Taoist priest on the side couldn't help but frowned, and was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Li Ruiyun's meaningful look.
The guards who were escorting the princess released the hostages in their hands as instructed.
Once Princess Huanyu was freed, she immediately ran toward Ling Yun like a bird out of its cage, spreading her arms and staggering.
Ignoring the murderous, tense and depressing atmosphere at the moment, or being in full public view, she threw herself into Ling Yun's arms without hesitation.
She hugged him tightly, tightening her arms again and again, as if she was afraid that he would disperse like mist.
Ling Yun's body was held tightly by her, and her messy hair was blown by the chilly spring breeze, as if soft little claws were gently scratching his chin.
He didn't avoid it, and his Adam's apple slowly sank.
Huanyu's pale face was buried in his chest and she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she felt an inexplicable feeling of depression and sadness. She slowly loosened her arms around him, raised her teary eyes to look at him, and murmured: "Zhichao, you...what's wrong with you?..."
"It's nothing." Ling Yun's dark eyes were full of emotion, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Huanyu, these days... are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine..." Huanyu naturally understood what he meant. She raised her head, and Kyoko's eyes reflected the color of water, and she gave him a forced smile.
Ling Yun raised his head and exhaled softly, "It's okay. As long as you can be well, I'll be relieved."
The bitter smile on Huanyu's lips gradually faded away, and her throat trembled like a sob, "Zhichao, do you know? The person I miss most these days is you, and I am looking forward to you day and night. come!
"But, I'm afraid that you will really come - because this place is too dangerous. If you come here, you will undoubtedly die! Alas, I am really conflicted... In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I really don't want to drag you down. It's just that …”
She spoke incoherently to the person in front of her who was thinking about her heart, and in the end even she didn't know what she said.
"Don't say anything, I understand what you mean. Huanyu, don't worry, as long as I'm here, you will be fine."
Ling Yun's breathing was stagnant, trying to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart. Although he had to listen to a lot of things she said at this time, and he also had a lot of things to say to her in his heart, he knew that now was not the time for children to be affectionate and affectionate.
He calmly moved his eyes away and fixed his sharp eyes on the sworn enemy who had been staring at him with eager eyes.
"Tell me, how can you let her leave safely?" He went straight to the point without any euphemism or subtlety.
"How I can let her go safely, of course, it depends on you, Mr. He!" Li Ruiyun's sinister eyes like a falcon narrowed slightly, and his low voice was filled with a bit of morbid madness, "Ling Yun, be obedient. By putting down his weapons and surrendering, Mr. Li can guarantee that Princess Huanyu will leave here unscathed."
"Li Ruiyun, are you so used to being arrogant that you treat everyone in the world as fools?" Ling Yun frowned and sneered, with a speechless expression, "Can you count on your guarantee? If I surrender, I will It's up to you to deal with it. What if you go back on your promise and turn your back on your promise? Aren't I wasting all my previous efforts, losing my wife and losing my army?"
"Then what should we do according to your opinion?" Li Ruiyun stared at him, with a cold luster in his obsidian eyes.
Ling Yun's dark eyes were deep, and his handsome features had a cold aura, "You arrange a few appropriate people to send the princess out of the city. When the time comes, my people will be there to take care of the princess - just make sure that the princess is sent out of the city." Now that the Lord has left safely, Ling Yun will naturally agree to your request, put down his weapons, and let him do whatever he wants."
"Hahaha, Ling Yun, you have a good idea!" Li Ruiyun let out a deep and terrifying laugh from his throat, "From your point of view, it is naturally watertight and impeccable; but when it comes to me, it is full of loopholes and cannot withstand any damage. No more scrutiny!"
"How do you say this?" Ling Yun frowned slightly.
Li Ruiyun said in a deep voice: "As you said just now, I promised to let Princess Huanyu leave safely. What if you go back on your promise and turn your back on your promise? Wouldn't it mean that all my previous efforts have been wasted and I am in vain? Is it all in vain?"
"You——" Ling Yun was furious for a moment, "You are simply judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
"Haha, laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps, Ling Yun, aren't you?" Li Ruiyun said tit for tat and retorted.
The air seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and Li Ruiyun and Ling Yun's eyes were locked.
He slowly approached him and stared into his eyes from a very close distance, trying to find a trace of fear or flinch in his eyes to prove that his awe-inspiring and fearless were all disguised, but——
At this time, the wind also started to fluctuate subtly...
