Chapter 321: Reunion at the Demon Locking Tower
Chapter 321: Reunion at the Demon Locking Tower
The seven days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of departure.
This group of people who were always smiling and frivolous put away all their unnecessary expressions, put on cool uniforms, carried fancy weapons, tied their hair up, and tightened their faces.
Hey.
Yu Zhixu gave a thumbs up without hesitation, cool!
It looks quite realistic.
Pu Ran clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone, be alert and act separately after we reach the Demon Locking Tower."
"Roger that!"
Well, you know what, it feels like everyone has suddenly become a reliable adult.
……
A kingfisher perched on a lush branch, tilting its head to look at the people passing by below.
The cold murderous intent poured from the corners of their eyes and brows. With a slight glance from their sinister eyes, the kingfisher seemed to have encountered a ferocious beast. It tore its throat and flapped its wings desperately to fly away, leaving only its frightened feathers floating in the air.
The rustling of insects stopped, and the hare hurriedly dived into the grass, looking around curiously through the gaps in the weeds with its pair of red eyes.
Birds were flying low in the sky, the wind was howling, grass leaves and willow catkins were circling and dancing in the air. Suddenly, a shrill crow's cry broke through the air, and the two groups of people met in front of the Demon Locking Tower.
meet again.
Three heirs.
Helian Shi invited enthusiastically: "We have been waiting for so long, and you are finally here, how about we have a cup of tea together first?"
As he said this, his eyes vaguely swept over the Xuanyuan Sword at the girl's waist, and a terrifying murderous look settled in his eyes.
Pu Ran didn't say anything. He Lian Shi felt very sorry: "This is the last chance, Sister Ran, can't you satisfy me?"
The three of us sat down and drank tea calmly.
He hung his head, and his sadness didn't seem fake.
This caused Pu Ran and He Lian Dai to look at each other coldly.
At first, the two of them more or less misinterpreted his meaning, but later they understood the true meaning of the last chance.
Helian Shi is a really cruel person.
Pu Ran winked at Yu Zhixu and said, "You go to the tower to find the rune stone, I will hold them back outside."
Just as Yu Zhixu was preparing to take action, Helian Dai on the other side stroked the Jiuzhou Ding hanging around her waist with her fingertips, her eyes cold, and called him: "Yu Zhixu."
Meaning: "Come here."
Yu Zhixu looked thoughtful, not knowing what she meant by this.
Pu Ran stepped in front of him and raised his lips: "Want to snatch someone from me?"
It's come to the last hurdle, and you still want to poach Yu Zhixu?
Helian Dai took a step forward, her frosty face becoming even colder: "So what if they robbed it?"
After saying that, she looked straight at Yu Zhixu, her eyes concealing coercion: "You should know who is controlling Qing Xuan now."
Yu Zhixu frowned without leaving any trace.
Of course he knew that Qingxuan was rotten from the inside, and its top management had been almost completely replaced by Suikong's people.
It has long become a plaything in the hands of others.
"Come here, come to me."
"If you obtain the Rune Stone for me, I will spare the people of Qingxuan. If you are unwilling, after today, there will be rivers of blood and no one will survive."
It was like an iron rod mercilessly piercing Yu Zhixu's heart, filling his chest with rust and blood, his throat dry and sore, he glared at the man and shouted, "Despicable!"
After all, he had worked for Qingxuan for so many years for the safety of his country and family. Now all the people in the city are being oppressed by the butcher's knife. How can you ask him to make an easy choice?
"mean?"
Helian Dai adjusted the fabric of her luxurious sleeves and said sarcastically, "It's just a means to achieve a goal. I think it's more appropriate to describe it as strategy."
"Between me and her, who do you choose?"
Think about it carefully, between the people of a country and Helian Ran, who do you choose?
The string of reason was instantly stretched straight, almost breaking at the touch. He was like being caught in a dilemma between ice and fire, his teeth clenched and his fists clenched with veins bulging.
His pair of clear eyes were now filled with endless rage, and he seemed to be torn in two. His whole body was trembling slightly as he tried desperately to suppress his rationality that was about to get out of control.
Who is it?
If you want me to respect you, Yu Zhixu, you should make the right choice.
She stood calmly like a green pine tree. At this moment, her eyes were still calm and peaceful, as if she was an outsider.
His eyes, as clear as a stream, fell silently on Yu Zhixu, taking in all his torment and pain.
"I……"
Yu Zhixu knew that he was in a mess, so he simply pretended to be embarrassed, and let his hair hide the deep guilt in his eyes. He took a deep breath, endured the grief of being disgusted by the other party, and took a step towards Helian Dai.
In the end, he still couldn't let go of the people in the city.
He was reviled and hated, and it didn't matter even if he was used and put to death, but the people had done nothing wrong and should not become victims of this struggle.
Even if it is a dilemma, he still has to make a decision rationally.
Helian Dai curled her lips and smiled, her face bright: "You..."
"Yu Zhixu."
Pu Ran behind him suddenly spoke, and the calm water was finally stirred by the breeze, creating soft ripples.
She was laughing, and her heartfelt joy made Yu Zhixu even more confused in his pain.
"Not bad, I was not disappointed."
Now she has three rune stones in her hands, and Helian Dai has two. Even if the last one falls into the hands of the opponent, it will be a draw, and at best it will just be a tie.
But the people only have one life. If their left prime minister abandons them this time, with corpses scattered all over the ground and blood flowing like a river, who can bear this sin?
The man's eyes widened in surprise, and for a split second he seemed to have realized this, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it, and there was still a look of confusion in his eyes.
The girl put her hands behind her back, tapped the ground with the toes of her shoes, and asked in a leisurely manner: "Hey, Yu Zhixu, you helped me so much before, do you want me to help you this time?"
"Like... saving a country's worth of civilians or something?"
"..."
Instantly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and his expression gradually became clear, like the moon appearing after the clouds have cleared.
He remembered something.
Why are Emperor Chi Zhao and Marquis Dingyuan not among those who have been fooling around with them these days?
Why does Pu Ran have to wait and wait before taking action?
This was so that the two of them would have enough time to lead their troops to Qingxuan and suppress this part of the Shattered Sky forces.
Without Yu Zhixu, it would be impossible to get the last rune stone. So he is the biggest variable. Suikong is likely to do something to him and make him turn against them.
If that is the case, then what can force him to change his mind?
After much thought, Pu Ran could only think of the people of Qingxuan, the people who were always in the heart of this Left Prime Minister.
So she discussed with Fury and Pride and rushed to Qingxuan. Chizhao and Xuanyue joined forces. Could it be that they still couldn't suppress you?
Yu Zhixu understood. He realized that in this confrontation, Pu Ran had already prepared a countermeasure.
He complained and scolded: "Since you already have a plan, why are you still playing tricks on me?"
Puran smiled and said, "Just tell me, do you want my help?"
Yu Zhixu had long felt that this person was mean and always liked to tease him.
Thinking of this, I still couldn't help but smile. My eyes were filled with mist and I felt as if a heavy burden had been relieved and my body and mind were light.
"Just help me."
He retreated again and came to Pu Ran's side, this time with only endless determination left.
