Chapter 178 – Watching
What is "the emperor has been missing for several days"?
Being able to be selected as the high priest's personal attendant since childhood, Ling Wen is not talented or intelligent, and in order to better serve the priest, Ling Wen also worked hard on the way of learning. "Four words are not enough to describe it.
But for such a smart young man, he suddenly found that he couldn't even understand the words.Moreover, that was what his own brother said.
Since each other has the closest blood relationship in the world, it is inevitable that they look exactly the same.However, at this moment, the face that seemed to be printed in a mold showed a completely opposite expression——
One of them still had indescribable malice.If the emperor's news is really unknown, it will be a catastrophe for the whole world, but he doesn't seem to care, or to put it too much, deep down in his heart, he might think it is a good thing.
His elder brother, however, was apparently completely taken aback by the news.His brain stopped functioning, he couldn't think about anything, and his face was left blank.Of the facial features that look similar, one can still be regarded as carved of flesh and blood, while the other is already a mud-bodied wood carving, with no vitality left.
After a while, Ling Zhang was finally able to put away his schadenfreude, but at this moment he found that something was wrong with A Wen. "Hello." He tentatively called out first, but unfortunately, he didn't get any response.
This time I really didn't panic and panicked.To say that he regretted it, Ling Zhang almost regretted it in his gut.He really didn't expect that the news of "the emperor's disappearance" would have such an influence on Ah Wen.
Their brothers were chosen to be on Paradise Island since they were young. Being younger brothers is not ecstatic about their new identities. They still do what they love, go wherever they want, and run away for most of the year. However, the elder brother obviously regards the position of the high priest's attendant as a lifelong honor, and he is diligent and diligent, and never leaves the island for half a step.
In these days when the ground is almost a prison, no matter how you calculate it, the number of times Ling Wen can see the emperor is very few, right?Even if the emperor would come to Paradise Island for major events such as sacrifices, but on such an occasion, the distance was so far that Ling Wen might not even be able to see the emperor's nose and eyebrows clearly.Such a strange person who only exists in awe and appellation, if he can't be lost, what does it have to do with Ling Wen?
However, Ling Zhang thought about it for a while, and he realized that what A Wen was panicking was not the disappearance of the emperor itself, but that once the emperor was gone, who else would be able to uphold justice for the high priest?I'm afraid that now in Ah Wen's mind, he truly believes that the woman Hao Yan is innocent.
The emotions that surged up in an instant were extremely complicated, and Ling Zhang didn't have the energy to distinguish them one by one, but there was a sour taste in it that was very easy to understand, and he knew that he was feeling extremely distressed.
Slowly brought his cheek to Ah Wen's, but in the end he didn't really touch it, separated by such a thin distance of paper - if he really touched it completely, even if Ah Wen was in a trance at the moment, I'm afraid the instinct It will still push him away severely.At least at this moment, Ling Zhang wishes to be closer to him.
"Awen, don't worry about it so much. The matter has become a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing you and I can do. If you continue to stay, you will only be involved in great trouble. Let's go before it's too late."
In the face of a catastrophe, take care of yourself—even if Ling Wen really did this, there is nothing wrong with it.In addition, he has always served extremely diligently in the past, so even if someone really talks about other acts of betraying the Lord today, the wording will probably not be too harsh.
If the idea is bolder and considers the current situation from the standpoint of Hao Yan, maybe the high priest really hopes that his attendants can leave safely.Regardless of whether Hao Yan really cares about the lives of her subordinates like this, but anyway, she has already explained countless things about her death, and every link and every step of them are painstaking efforts. All these painstaking efforts are really going to be completely wasted.
But does he have to go just because he has to?
Ling Wen understood what her choice was.
Gently pulled his wrist out of Ling Zhang's grip like an iron hoop. In fact, Ling Wen didn't use much strength, but as long as he made the meaning of "rejection" very clear, according to the way brothers get along However, the younger brother may not really dare to continue to make mistakes.No matter what kind of fierce face Ling Zhang has, and no matter how rude he is, there has never been any real reluctance.These, Ling Wen is naturally very clear.
Ling Wen didn't clarify his plan, but instead began to persuade the other party, "I won't leave. In fact, you shouldn't leave either."
Knowing that what the other party meant was not what he meant, but Ling Zhang still deliberately misinterpreted it, even if it was just to take advantage of the tongue, he felt it was worth it. "You want me to stay with you!"
Of course, it is not the first time that the meaning in the words has been tampered with, but Ling Wen still didn't expect the other party's ability to put in stitches to be so sophisticated, so he had no choice but to smile wryly. "Actually, you know in your heart that Lord Haoyu also has high hopes for you. Many tasks have been entrusted to me on the surface, but the Lord still hopes that we can work together as brothers to complete them."
At least at this moment, Ling Wen is still not clear about the hardships represented by those tasks. Ling Wen is also not clear about the meaning of the words "long years have the power to overwhelm people" that Hao Yan said .That's why he took it for granted that his younger brother should also bear a corresponding part of the responsibility.In the mind of the young man, besides success or failure, there is no room for more things for the time being.
Ling Zhang was noncommittal, just smiled coldly. "I don't care what that woman thinks. I just ask you, Awen, do you really think I should go forward and retreat with you?"
Originally, that was exactly what he meant, but at the end of the day, Ling Wen suddenly hesitated again.An unfounded and bad premonition hit his heart, making him instinctively think that what is being discussed now is definitely not a good idea.He originally only hoped that his younger brother would be able to take on the corresponding responsibilities—it was such a glorious thing to be able to be loyal to the high priest of the whole family, a favor that ordinary people couldn't even ask for.However, from his younger brother's contemptuous attitude, he suddenly didn't dare to be so sure.
Ling Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at his elder brother. There must be nothing wrong with that gaze, but it seems to be passable if it is a scrutiny.However, Ling Zhang controlled his expression very well, if his brows were slightly tinged with seriousness, his eyes would be so sharp that it would be unbearable.
I don't know what clues Ling Zhang saw from the other person's face, but in short, he seemed very satisfied.Shrugging and smiling, "Forget it, since you won't leave, I'll just stay."
After all, the other party's compromise came too abruptly. Even though this change was in line with Ling Wen's selfish thoughts all along, he didn't dare to accept it so easily.His mouth widened in surprise, "Are you staying too?"
"There's no need to be so surprised." Ling Zhang spread his hands and made a calm gesture. His appearance really easily made others put down their guard. "Don't take me as a whim. In fact, before I came to you today, I had thought about the whole thing many times. Your stubbornness is not understood by others. How can I not understand? Although I personally think the best result It is to leave together, but I also know that it is almost impossible to get you to agree. If you want to balance all parties, the most likely result can only be that we stay together."
"..." Ling Wen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"If two people disagree, one of them needs to compromise first." Ling Zhang said lightly, as if he didn't care at all that he was the one to compromise.However, the two people present knew very well that if Ling Zhang really didn't care, he would not have tried every means to take him away forcibly before.In the final analysis, this is also his last choice in desperation.
"However, Ah Wen, since I have already given in first, I hope you can listen to my arrangements for the future."
It turned out that he was waiting here.Ling Wen was glad that he didn't relax his vigilance just because of a momentary soft-heartedness. He really knew this brother too well, so he knew that even if there was a compromise, there would be corresponding conditions.
Seeing that the opponent raised his guard again, Ling Zhang was dumbfounded.Shaking his head slowly, "You don't need to look like this. My so-called arrangements are all based on your safety. As I said before, the emperor is missing. Today's monster world is in chaos. There are many right and wrong right and wrong. Using common sense, even if you sincerely believe in Hao Yan's innocence, once she is convicted, you will be involved if she is inadvertent."
"Then can I just watch?" Ling Wen didn't know that with his meager body, there was nothing he could do except to watch, but this was the most unacceptable thing he could do. of incompetence.
"Actually, you can only stand on the sidelines. And this is exactly what Haoyan expects of you." Ling Zhang's conclusion hits the nail on the head, although no matter from which point of view, this person has no respect for his nominal master Respect, but for her mind, he figured it out more thoroughly. It has to be said that this can be regarded as a bystander in another sense.
"The reason why Hao Yan anxiously arranges her funeral is because even she knows very well that there is not much time left." Ling Zhang told the obvious facts, his tone was calm, and he even used his usual mockery They have all disappeared—in fact, too much sarcasm at this time is superfluous, and the unchangeable reality itself already has deep malice towards the high priest.
Ling Zhang gently held his brother's hand, trying to show his sincerity, even though he knew that he was so incompatible with the word "sincerity". "To be honest, I really don't care whether Haoyan's plan can succeed or not, but I know that you definitely don't want that woman's arrangements to be in vain. So no matter what happens on Paradise Island next , you are not allowed to make a move, because not only will you not be able to save Haoyu, but you will also put yourself in for nothing. Ah Wen, bear with this moment, you understand, this is not only for my request, but also for your most respected master."
Ling Wen was not convinced, but in the end he still made the only correct choice.
----
"Although this place is cramped and dark, it's better than safety. Both Lou Tianyao and Meishu think highly of themselves, and they would never want to set foot in the cell where the sacrificial offerings are held." Ling Zhang said while igniting the fire on the wall with a torch The torches, the not-so-bright flames can't completely disperse the darkness, and they are clearly extinguished, but it seems that light and darkness are engaged in a battle from ancient times.
Compared with the shadows, what is more intense is a complicated and unspeakable smell. The sticky damp is filled with decay. It is not made of rotting dead branches and leaves, but more like piled up with countless corpses.
Ling Wen didn't respond, and silently chose an open space that looked a little dry, and sat down on the ground against the mountain wall.He pricked up his ears, trying to hear all kinds of movements on the island, but apart from the burning time of the torch or the "cracking" sound, it was as quiet as a grave.
Logically speaking, hiding in this kind of place, even though he is not willing, his heart will return to peace sooner or later, but Ling Wen still can't calm down, he can't control his imagination, imagining the whole Paradise Island, where all the monsters and beasts once The inviolable holy land in the hearts of the people has been tossed into a scene that has been turned upside down.
If even Paradise Island is destroyed, will its owner, Master Haoyan, still be safe and sound?
Ling Zhang sensed that the other person was in a trance, and for a rare moment, he closed his mouth obediently.After all, in such a situation, even if he could find something to say without regard for his face, I'm afraid that in the end, not only could he fail to ease Ah Wen's emotions, but it would make it worse.
But, forget it, since the person has been successfully persuaded to come down, even if the high priest Haoyu is doomed to die this time, Ah Wen, who has a heavy responsibility, will not die for that woman.
The future is long, and it is too unwise to add fuel to the fire at this juncture.
After making up his mind, Ling Zhang pulled out another torch from the wall and lit it, leaving the previous one for Ling Wen, while he himself held this one, as if to go out. "I know you are worried, I will find a way to find out the situation."
Ling Wen, who had always been like a piece of wood, raised his head when he heard these words, his eyes lit up by the flames were shining, all of them were full of surprise.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Ling Zhang felt guilty for no reason, he just made up an excuse just now, he just felt that the scene was awkward, so it's better to avoid it for a while.Now it's all right, it's quite a bit like riding a tiger. "I don't guarantee that I can find out anything, I can only try my best. In short, you stay well first."
It was rare for Ling Wen to give the other side face like this, and he nodded without saying a word.
It's a pity that no one of the Ling brothers at this moment thought that they would stay for thousands of years.As time passed by, Ling Wen never stepped out of here again.
Being able to be selected as the high priest's personal attendant since childhood, Ling Wen is not talented or intelligent, and in order to better serve the priest, Ling Wen also worked hard on the way of learning. "Four words are not enough to describe it.
