[Ready? ]

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the cold moonlight falls, covering the world like a thin layer of ice.

Chu Ci sat on the city wall, and he didn't care about the night wind blowing his long hair. He just quietly watched the sharks who were bound in the water.

He is aboveboard, and no one can see him anyway.

The patrolling guard yawned heavily, leaning lazily against the pillar, nodding his head, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

[I actually miss him a little bit,] Chu Ci laughed: [I hope he doesn't cry too much, or I will feel bad. ]

[......]

The faint singing sounded suddenly, like a slowly rising smoke, covering everyone in the courtyard, the guard raised his eyelids blankly, but finally couldn't resist the huge sleepiness, and fell heavily to the ground.

The sharks opened their eyes at the same time, staring at their king, their eyes covered with mist.

"king……"

After not speaking for a long time, the mermaid's voice was still pleasant to the ear. Chu Ci bent his eyes and made a silent gesture, "Shh."

He said, "Don't talk, I'll take you out."

"But you are alone..." The mermen struggled to get closer to the king: "It's too dangerous for you to be alone, go back, king."

The other mermen couldn't change their legs and couldn't walk. They really couldn't imagine how to let the king take them all out. Instead of letting the king take risks, they would rather the king not save them.

"Trust me," Chu Ci blinked, and said with a smile, "I said I would take you out, and I will do what I say."

"You all just need to sleep." Chu Ci brushed the top of the merman's head with his fingertips, and the merman was in a daze for a moment, closing their eyes uncontrollably: "Wang..."

After hypnotizing all the mermen, Chu Ci said in a dejected manner: [Okay, system, take them all away. ]

[Where to take? ]

[Where else can I go, bring them back to the sea, and never let them out again. ] Chu Ci sighed: [They are so naive, how are they going to survive outside. ]

The system responded, and was about to send the sharks back to the sea, but was interrupted by Chu Ci: [No, wait, send them to the general's mansion. ]

[good. ] The system has no objection.

[To the pool I was in. ]

[Can. ]

The chains that bound the merman snapped apart, and the last chain shattered, and the hypnotized guards suddenly woke up: "Who?!"

They stood up abruptly, seeing the man standing by the pool, their hearts skipped a beat, they surrounded him without hesitation, drew out their swords and put them around his neck: "Who are you?!"

Chu Ci didn't speak, but took a step back as if evading. The more the guard looked at him, the more suspicious he became, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the pool. There was no shadow of a shark in the water!

The guards collectively went crazy.

So many sharks disappeared right under their noses, and even ten heads were not enough for the emperor to chop off. They asked tremblingly, "Where are the sharks, sharks?!"

Chu Ci curled up his lips strangely: "I let you go."

The guards couldn't even hold their swords. No one knew better than them how much the emperor valued those mermen. When the mermen ran away, their lives were lost: "Catch him! Catch him!"

Their lips were trembling, and they couldn't even speak clearly, but the strength in their hands was unprecedented. They directly grabbed Chu Ci's arm, folded it back, and clasped it behind his back.

With a "click", Chu Ci's arm was directly pulled and dislocated.

[Ah, it hurts. ]

[Nonsense, I turned on pain shielding. ]

[How will the emperor punish me? Divide the body by five horses, hack me into pieces? ] Chu Ci tilted his head slightly: [It seems that everyone will die in an ugly way. ]

[Would you mind this? ]

[Of course, I am so good-looking, I have to die beautifully. ]

While he was talking to the system, the guards had tied him up outside the emperor's bedroom. It was so late at night, and the emperor was still worrying about his illness. let them in.

The guards crawled into the palace on their knees, trembling all the way up and said: "Report to the emperor, I will report something urgent..."

The emperor looked at them indifferently: "What's the hurry?"

"The shark, the shark is gone..." the guard murmured, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But the emperor still heard it.

As if he had never heard of it, he took a sip of tea without changing his face, then slammed the teacup, got up in a rage, and kicked the guards far away: "How did I explain to you?"

He was gloomy, and every word seemed to be forced out from the gap between his teeth: "I ordered you in every possible way, but you all took my words as wind on your ears, didn't you?"

The emperor's face was so dark that everyone knelt down on the ground, no one dared to look up, and no one dared to persuade, "What's the use of raising you? Ah?! What's the use of raising you! I might as well raise a group of Dogs! You bunch of trash! Trash! Come on! Drag them all down to me! Cut them off! Don’t leave a single one behind!”

The emperor's foot was strong and he didn't have any strength left. The guard was so kicked that he couldn't breathe. He felt that his heart was about to burst. He covered his heart and hissed: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I'm waiting for someone to plot against you!" lead to such a fate..."

"Really?" The emperor sneered: "When will my palace allow others to come and go freely, bring him here."

Chu Ci was escorted into the palace, and the guards who escorted him kicked him at the crook of the leg, wanting him to kneel down to the emperor: "Don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty? Kneel down quickly!"

Chu Ci glanced back at him: [He is going to die soon. ]

System: [I see. ]

"Ha," the emperor walked up to Chu Ci, squeezed his chin, and forced him to raise his head: "You let my beauty go?"

The face of this person in front of him was so ordinary that it was difficult to remember his face even if they looked at each other. The emperor looked at it carefully for a while, and then laughed, his hands became more and more forceful, almost crushing Chu Ci's bones: "I don't want to kneel down when I see you!" , You have a lot of backbone, but I don’t know how long your backbone can last.”

"Come here," the emperor yelled, "bring him to the prison, and I will personally execute him!"

The prison was gloomy and humid, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. Chu Ci watched his body being dragged all the way into the prison, with blood dripping all over the floor, frowned and complained: [It looks so painful. ]

The moment he left the palace, he had left his body, and what was in his body now was just a wisp of thought controlled by the system, making him look like he was not dead yet.

[It seems that the emperor will torture more than we thought]

Chu Ci smiled and rolled his eyes: [Then I must have lived longer than they thought. ]

The average person would be on the verge of death if dragged to prison like this, but under the control of the system, he is still "alive" very clearly.

The bloody smell in the prison is getting thicker and thicker, making people sick.

The emperor looked in amazement at the man in front of him who could hardly maintain his human form, and felt that the violence that had been roiling in his mind would be soothed by the breath of blood. He was intoxicated by the pleasure created by the violence, and smiled nervously. Get up: "Isn't this dead? You made me look forward to it."

Looking forward to what kind of torture will be used, this humble life will die.

The next day, a shocking news came out from the imperial palace. The imperial palace was stolen, and the emperor lost his treasure. He was in such great pain that he wanted to kill the captured thief in the downtown area ten days later to shock the world.

As soon as the news came out, there were those who were curious about what treasure was missing that would make the emperor so angry, some who lamented that Ling Chi was too cruel, and some who even applauded that the emperor was also stolen. The dead dog emperor said a thousand words, but Ye Qian, who heard the news, just stood there in a daze.

Impossible, he thought, Ah Ci is so smart, how could he be caught, impossible.

I got it wrong, Ye Qian thought, grabbed others and asked it over and over again, when the passer-by said they were bored, he would ask the next person, but no matter how he asked, he always got the same sentence.

"Of course it's true. I don't know you well. Why did I lie to you?" Someone couldn't bear to see his lost look, so he pulled a notice from the side of the road and held it in front of him: "Look, the government officials I posted the notice myself, I really didn't lie to you... Hey, why are you crying? Are you okay?"

The person in front of him opened and closed his mouth, raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but he could no longer hear anything, Ye Qian blinked with difficulty, never knowing that breathing was such a difficult thing, he was at a loss He let go of his hand, suddenly remembered something, got on the horse, flicked the whip severely, and the tall horse immediately raised its four hooves, and ran towards the capital with all its strength.

The kind-hearted man ate a mouthful of sand, but he was not angry.

Maybe that person looked so pitiful that even a stranger like him couldn't bear to be angry.

There is still some distance from the capital here, but he will definitely be able to return within ten days.Ye Qian held the rein tightly with one hand, and the kit that Chu Ci gave him with the other.

The merman's scales are always cold, and they are too cold to cover, but now they are warmer than anything else when they are held in their hands.

Maybe it's not the scales that are warm, but his hands are colder than the scales.

Ye Qian has never been so eager. The horse has already run with all its strength, but he still feels slow, too slow, running so slowly, but time flies so fast, how can he catch up to save his Ah? Resignation?

He stood up on the horse without hesitation, threw off the horse directly, and used lightness kung fu.

For such a long distance, all light work is used, and the internal strength is obviously not enough, but Ye Qian is already crazy, and he can't think about so much. When he is exhausted, he stops for a moment and forcibly increases his internal strength.

He wiped the blood from his lips. The consequence of forcibly raising his internal energy was that the place where the internal energy flowed through was like a knife piercing a needle, but he didn't feel any pain.

Ah Ci must be more painful than me, Ye Qian thought, the emperor is not a good person, if he is caught, he will definitely receive many punishments.

For such a delicate person, how painful it must be when he is tortured.

Ye Qian just thought about it for a while, the tumbling internal force was a sign of getting out of control, he closed his eyes severely, not daring to think about it, forcefully suppressed the rioting internal force, and raised his breath before moving on.

Horseback riding was supposed to be a ten-day journey, but he drove it around the clock, shortening it to five days.

As soon as he entered the capital, the system sensed his presence and directly brought Chu Ci to his side.

Chu Ci lowered his eyes, saw the blood stains on his clothes, and reached out to touch him, but because he was in the state of being out of his body, he didn't touch him, and his fingertips directly passed through Ye Qian's clothes, grabbing To a pile of air.

Ye Qian stopped his hurried steps as if aware of it, and looked around blankly.

Nothing to see, only the wind blowing as before.

"A Ci," Ye Qian opened his mouth and called softly, "A Ci."

His tone was dazed and at a loss, like a lost child, standing alone in a crowded crowd, everyone he saw was not the person he wanted to see, he wanted to move forward, but was afraid of missing it, and stayed where he was Land, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait.

He didn't seem to realize at all how terrible his blood-stained and dust-stained clothes looked to outsiders.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the capital recognized the little general's face, most of the people passing by would have thought he was a prisoner who had escaped from prison.

"Little general, what's the matter with you, what happened?"

"Little General, are you looking for something?"

Passers-by were a little afraid of him at first, but when they saw his face, their fear disappeared immediately, replaced by curiosity and worry.

The little general just won a battle. He should be the happiest thing, but why does he look so... heartbroken?

"Little general, did you lose something?" The careful woman looked at his expression carefully and asked, "What did you lose, tell me, maybe all of us can help you find it."

"Yes, yes." The others responded one after another.

Ye Qian pursed his lips, and replied tremblingly: "I lost something."

One of his most precious people.

"I'll just go find it myself, thank you for your kindness." He showed a pale smile and murmured: "Don't worry, I will find it."

Ye Qian left the long street and went directly to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor was gathering with the ministers. He got new pleasure from that prisoner. He couldn't hold a beautiful woman recently, so he simply pulled the criminals out of the prison one by one to see how long they could last under the torture.

It's a pity that so far, few can survive two rounds. The corpses piled up in the prison became a mountain. Not long after they were transported out, a new pile was piled up.

The emperor shook his head and sighed: "These people are not fun, and none of them can hold on."

The courtier standing behind him resisted the thought of vomiting, rolled his eyes, and said obsequiously: "Why don't you pull out that person from before, so that His Majesty can be happy."

"Yes, yes, according to Yichen, it's the one whose life is the hardest, and His Majesty will definitely have a good time."

The emperor mourned: "But if you continue playing, what if he dies?"

"If you die, you will die," the minister who had never been eunuch raised his voice, and his voice was even shrill: "It is his good fortune to die in His Majesty's hands!"

The emperor glanced at him appreciatively: "You are right, come here, and bring him up again."

[He is coming. ]

The system brought Chu Ci back to the prison one step ahead of time, and calmly reminded him.

Chu Ci returned to his body, and with the return of his soul, the places that had been whipped to the point where only bones remained slowly grew blood and flesh, and most of the broken bones were repaired.

System: [Why restore? ]

According to its setting, Chu Ci has been abused to such an extent that Ye Qian will definitely go crazy when he sees it. The task can be easily completed, and Chu Ci's recovery is half, and the stimulating effect may also be discounted.

[It's too exciting, he can't bear it. ] Chu Ci sighed: [Didn't you see that he was so crazy that he vomited blood without seeing me? ]

Ye Qian was so anxious to vomit blood by relying on imagination, if he really saw how he was being abused, maybe he could hold him and play a game of death together.

The system is silent for a second: [Okay. ]

Before Chu Ci was brought before the emperor, Ye Qian had already broken into the dungeon desperately.

The emperor turned his head in displeasure, and the ministers also followed the prestige: "Hey, why is it General Ye?"

The emperor restrained his anger, and asked kindly, "Why did General Ye come back suddenly? Has something happened to Xiguan?"

Xiguan was victorious, and the emperor was very patient with him.

It's just that no matter how much patience you have, what Ye Qian said will disappear in smoke.

"Go back to the emperor, I'm here to pick up my wife."

The emperor froze subtly: "Your wife?"

"It's the 'thief' who was caught by the emperor." Ye Qian looked directly at the emperor and said, "What crime did he commit? I will bear it for him and ask the emperor to let him go."

emperor:"……"

Other courtiers: "..."

The hearts of all the courtiers jumped uncontrollably, and they thought: Not good.

No matter how servile they pretend to be, they also know that Ye Qian and the Ye family are different from them. These two people are the real defenders of the dynasty, so no matter how stupid the emperor is, he dare not toss on the Ye family, and no matter how flattering the courtiers are. Don't dare to pick the Ye family's affairs, without the Ye family, who will guard the country for them?Without Jiangshan, how can they enjoy the glory and wealth?

Who would have thought that the wife married by the loyal son of the Ye family who defended the country would sneak into the palace and let go of the merman kept by the emperor?Who would have thought that such an ordinary person would be Ye Qian's wife? !

In the blink of an eye, the emperor and his courtiers unanimously came up with a solution.

No matter how powerful Ye Qian is, he is a minister after all. As long as the emperor uses the majesty of the royal family to oppress him, he has no room to resist.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor put on a furious expression, slapped the table, and said: "Your wife let go of my beauty, such a heinous crime, even the nine clans are not exaggerated! How dare you ask me what you want?" People?! How many lives do you have for him?!"

Ye Qian didn't seem to realize it: "Please let the emperor let him go."

"Are you threatening me?" The emperor asked solemnly: "General Ye, do you still remember your identity, remember the identity of the Ye family? Are you going to threaten me for a sinner?!"

Ye Qian: "I dare not, I am guilty, death is not a pity, I just ask the emperor to let him go."

The emperor choked, and the courtiers standing behind him said in time: "Where is there no grass in the end of the world, why did General Ye go so far for a man? The prisoner committed a crime, and His Majesty has ordered it to be announced to the world. Now you come to ask for it." Man, where will His Majesty lose face? As a subject, you should be thinking about His Majesty."

"That's right, how can General Ye press so hard, isn't this embarrassing for His Majesty?"

The emperor snorted at the right time, and spoke again: "As long as you admit your mistake, I can forget about your unreasonable trouble."

Ye Qian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I am guilty, I admit it. I only ask the emperor to let my wife go, and I am willing to be punished together."

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and lifted the table: "For the sake of the Ye family, I forgive you again and again, but you don't know how to repent, and dare to continue to offend me! I think you don't know how to live or die One more word of pleading, and I will kill the Ye family!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor left angrily, and the other courtiers followed behind him. When they passed by Ye Qian, they all persuaded him: "The little general should admit his mistake to His Majesty."

Ye Qian pretended he didn't hear it, and just walked in with a blank expression.

The further they walked into the prison, the thicker the smell of blood became, and the air seemed to be filled with fine blood.

The candles hanging on the wall became darker and darker, and Ye Qian's heart sank into the dark abyss little by little.

Finally, at the end of the walk, Ye Qian saw the person locked in the prison.

It was so dark in the prison, but he could clearly see every scar on his body, the skin and flesh were grimly split, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Ye Qian's eyes went dark, there were only a few steps left, and he stumbled.He walked over, tore off the chain that fastened the prison door, and threw himself in front of Chu Ci, stretching out his fingers tremblingly, but he didn't dare to touch him.

"A Ci..." Ye Qian's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak: "A Ci..."

Why did he ask Chu Ci to come back?Ye Qian kept asking himself like crazy, why on earth did he want Chuci to come back?Knowing that it was dangerous, why did he let him go?What does it matter to him whether the group of sharks die or not?What does the suffering of the common people have to do with him?Isn't he human?Why did he have to give up everything about himself to help others?

"Aci," Ye Qian couldn't hold back anymore, choked up and said, "Don't want me..."

Please, don't abandon me, no matter where you go, please take me with you.

Tears fell, Ye Qian didn't care to wipe himself, but wiped off the water marks on Chu Ci's face lightly, and wiped Chu Ci's blood-stained face clean.

"Hmm..." Chu Ci slowly opened his eyes, but there was no gleam in those eyes, he couldn't see: "Little, little master?"

It's me," Ye Qian hurriedly wiped his face, and replied incoherently: "A Ci, whether you hurt or not, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come back alone, I'll take you home, okay?We go back, we go back now. "

Chu Ci smiled softly: "Little Master, can you give me a hug?"

"Okay." Ye Qian carefully carried him into his arms, for fear of touching his injured place and making him hurt again.

"Why are you trembling..." Chu Ci paused, then sighed, "Am I ugly now?"

Ye Qian bit his lip so hard that he didn't let himself cry: "No."

Trembling, he leaned close to Chu Ci's forehead and said, "You'd better look..."

The familiar words brought him back to the day when he first met.

That day, the lotus was in full bloom and the sun was shining brightly. He turned his face casually and smiled at him.

When he smiled, all the colors in the world could no longer be seen by him.

Chu Ci closed his eyes and said coquettishly, "Little master, I'm in so much pain."

Ye Qian's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and the hatred he had never felt before suddenly ignited a raging fire in his heart. He picked up Chu Ci and coaxed him in a low voice: "I will take you back, and I will find you the best doctor and heal you." It doesn't hurt anymore."

Chu Ci's voice became softer and softer: "Really..."

Ye Qian's throat moved again and again, barely able to squeeze out a word: "En."

"No, I'm so tired," Chu Ci roguely got into his arms, rubbing his face against his heart: "I'm too tired to move anymore, little master, you will be alone from now on... "

Ye Qian hurriedly said: "Don't sleep, Ah Ci, I won't let you sleep!"

The merman, who was about to disappear, could no longer maintain his disguise, and slowly revealed his original appearance. His beautiful tail became scarred. He curled up in Ye Qian's arms, and his long hair fell to the ground. Even when he was on the verge of death, he was still beautiful. It is necessary to overwhelm the country and the city.

"Don't cry." Chu Ci said softly.

Ye Qian completely collapsed: "Don't go, Ah Ci, please, take me away too, please, don't leave me alone..."

"I'm not taking you with me..." Chu Ci's tone was almost mischievous, he paused each word, and said slowly: "You want...to live a long life..."

Gone, everything is gone.

Ye Qian hugged him blankly, unable to hear his heartbeat or his breathing.

For a moment, he showed a very confused expression, like a newborn child, his mind was blank and there was nothing.

He approached Chu Ci's heart in a daze, wanting to hear the familiar voice again.

How could he not hear? His ears must be broken.

Ye Qian firmly thought so, then picked up Chu Ci, walked out of the dungeon, and flew straight back to the general's mansion regardless of the shocked gazes from the people guarding outside.

He returned to the room, put Chu Ci on the bed, and pulled Ye Yun over to let him listen to Chu Ci's heartbeat.

Ye Yun opened his eyes wide, and when he saw the quietly sleeping person on the bed, he called out, "Ah! She's a great beauty!"

"Why was he injured?" Ye Yun blinked, looking at Ye Qian inexplicably.

"My brother didn't protect him well." Ye Qian replied softly.

Ye Yun followed his instructions and carefully leaned against the beauty's heart, but also couldn't hear anything.

People will die without a heartbeat.

Although Ye Yun is young, he has already understood this.

He raised his head timidly, before speaking, tears welled up in his eyes: "I, I can't hear..."

Ye Qian stood stiffly for a moment, then suddenly pushed him away: "You are talking nonsense."

He repeated stubbornly: "You are talking nonsense."

He pushed Ye Yun out of the room, closed the door, returned to the bed, and hugged Chu Ci's cold body tightly: "You lied to me, and Ye Yun lied to me too, how can you all unite to bully me."

Ye Yun was pushed out, but didn't leave, just sat in front of the door, wiping away tears.

He fell asleep crying and crying, and after an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard an uncontrollable, desperate and hoarse cry, like the mournful cry of a wild animal when it has nowhere to go.
