forest of golden lions

Work harder and harder to hold on to the last of everything.

Ashley began to become very clingy to Yunyi.

He wanted to hold Yun Yi so hard that he almost wanted to be with him day and night.

Without his elder brother, there is only Yun Yi left in his world, if Yun Yi is also lost, then his world will really be nothing.

Nothing in various senses: Yun Yi is now taking on Luo Luo's work, holding onto the lifeblood of the entire country. Once he rebels, the entire country will change, and he and his father will have nothing.

And everything they have is precariously attached to Yun Yi's feelings for him.

He is well aware that feelings are vulnerable, so he can only try his best to hold on tightly, trying hard to find the proof of his love for himself from Yun Yi.

He desperately wants to grab this life-saving straw, desperately to confirm, to test, because everything he has is hanging on Yun Yi's love for him, once he loses this love, he will have nothing. No more, it's too fragile.

As long as there is love, he will not betray himself, right?

He thought so.

But in the end, the more he tried to confirm, the more Yun Yi was pushed away.

Who can stand a person clinging to himself every day?

Yun Yi started to run away, and began to resist Ashley's approach.

But the more he evaded, the more panicked Ashley became, the more afraid of losing, the more he would only work harder to get close to him.

This seems to form a vicious circle.

It is almost visible to the naked eye to see Yun Yi's resistance to Ashley.

Meanwhile, there is one more thing.

Because of Yun Yi's attitude, Ashley became more and more uneasy, so he began to search even harder for proof that Yun Yi still loved him.

Slavery, the bond that bound the two of them together.

Ashley began to frequently mention the matter of liberating slaves to Yun Yi.

However, Yun Yi always avoids the important and ignores the trivial, and even gives him a slap in the end impatiently.

Ashley knew that the relationship between them was irretrievable.

He doesn't love you anymore.

That's right, he should have seen it clearly a long time ago. From the very beginning, he approached him with the name of ideal, and that's what he wanted now.

Now that his elder brother is dead and Yun Yi got everything, he naturally no longer needs to be patient with himself.

Maybe, maybe, from the beginning, even that liking was feigned, a play to get something from myself.That's why I can be so cruel to force myself to do so many things I don't want to do.

"That kid killed Rollo." That day, the old king said to Ashley while sitting on the throne.

Even though he had already vaguely guessed some clues, when the truth was revealed in front of his eyes, he still felt a little unacceptable.

The father told him so bluntly, that is to say, the father has already decided on the follow-up measures.

This is not an explanation, but a notification.

Ashley knelt down on the ground slumped, no longer able to bear the enormous pressure behind the facts.

The old king thought that Ashley knelt down to intercede for Yun Yi, and he said angrily: "That's enough, Ashley, without that kid, the Golden Lion is still our Golden Lion, at worst we lose some territory to other enemies That's all, but to keep him alive, it won't be long before he stretches out his hands on you and me, and we have nothing left! We have to get ahead of that kid!"

Ashley shook his head slowly like a puppet whose soul had been drained.

Want to kill Yun Yi?Did he kill that Yun Yi who had done so many things with him, who was born and died for him so many times, and saved him so many times?

The old king hated iron and steel very much, so he couldn't help but say harsh words: "If you don't want to, I will do it too. I will tell you now, just to keep you out of my way. If you want to protect him, I won't even let you go!"

Ashley shook his head: "That's not what I mean, Father." He spoke again, his voice trembling, "Since he killed my brother, I will definitely not let him go, but if we kill him, we Can you really sit on the throne?"

The old king was stunned for a moment.

Ai Xili said: "Golden Lion has prospered so far thanks to my brother's force. Now that my brother is gone, the surrounding countries are all staring at us. If there is no such strong general as Yun Yi, will our throne be able to sit securely? You said that the Golden Lion is still our Golden Lion after losing a little territory, but I think that if we really reach that point, more people will take advantage of the chaos to kill us."

"Do you think that kid will let you sit still? Now that Rollo is gone, do you believe it won't be long before he will throw us off?"

Ashley shook his head, his throat was a little choked: "Since it is dangerous with him or without him, we might as well take a gamble."

"How to bet?"

Ashley took a deep breath, so that the breath in his chest could be eased a little, and he said: "Give me a chance, let me try once."

The old king was full of disbelief towards him.

Before the old king could speak, Ashley trembled again, as if deceiving himself: "I still believe that he is the savior."

What kind of intention did Yun Yi get close to him?

Is it really for the same lofty goal as him, or is it just approaching him through that goal?

The answer was already on the verge of coming out, but he couldn't believe it, and more importantly, he didn't want to believe it.

Once he believes, what he will face is not only the pain of Yun Yi's betrayal and deceit, but also the denial of his entire life so far, because it is he who made such a decision, it is this kind of him who chooses to trust Such a person.

He couldn't bear such heavy consequences.

I dare not deny my life so far.

Let him try again for the last time, try that person's true purpose, and try how much that person cares about himself.

If he still cares, it means that whether this country or their ideals, there is still salvation.

Ashley knelt quietly in the room, in a gesture of praying to God.

The light shone in the room, shone on his face, and reflected his golden hair and eyelashes like gold.

The door was pushed open abruptly, breaking the tranquility in the room, and even the air revealed a trace of hostile posture.

At that moment, the fire in Ashley's heart was shattered.

It seemed that at that moment, the light in the room dimmed.

Yun Yi hurriedly kicked open the door, her anger had already reached its peak: "Who told you to let go of the group of slaves we just looted? Do you know that we were going to send those slaves to The goods from neighboring countries, now that these slaves are gone, we have to compensate them for their losses!"

Ashley stood up sluggishly, turned his head stiffly, and smiled, the pair of dull eyes on his face were particularly focused, he said with an innocent smile: "Ah? You said that? Didn't you say that before?" Did you do all these things for me, to help me liberate the slaves, now that my brother is dead, we are capable, isn't it a great time to do this?"

Yun Yi was so angry that he was so angry that he took a deep breath and forced his anger: "It depends on the timing, do you think now is the time to do those things? Now how do you want me to solve this matter? You want us to do it again? What about your subjects?"

Ashley looked nonchalant: "What's the matter? At worst, we trade through other means. You didn't tell me before that there is no trade related to slaves in the world, but they are still so prosperous. Look, I recently Several kinds of medicinal herbs have been discovered, which are especially useful for bruises."

As she spoke, Ashley excitedly handed the medicinal herb to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi slapped the herb in Ashley's hand to the ground, and roared angrily: "Are you crazy? You know that no one wants this kind of thing here! The world is the world, and the devil world is the devil world. Can the demons compare with humans? They can only eat people here! How could it be so easy to abolish slaves?"

Ashley looked at the medicinal herbs on the ground, the rotten appearance was like his shattered dream.He tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't.

He finally broke down and vented to Yun Yi: "Bastard! You bastard! What you say is for me, what you say that you want to accompany me to liberate the slaves are all lies. You only think about yourself, you only want Your current status is no different from what your brother did before! You have been using me all the time! Bastard, why don’t you die? "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Yi's voice was filled with anger.

"I said why don't you die?" Ashley took a step back in a trance, away from Yun Yi, and said to herself: "I won't give up, even if I'm alone, I still want to complete the unfinished business. I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone."

He seemed to have thought of something again, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, it's fine if you die, and no one will plunder you anymore, and no new slaves will be created after you die."

A trace of pain flashed in Yun Yi's eyes: "Do you know how many troubles the Golden Lion caused after Luo Luo's death? Do you know how much I paid for these slaves and suffered multiple injuries before I came back?" , you haven’t even glanced at me, do you know how much our people will have to pay for what you are doing now, and do you know that if all the slaves are rashly liberated now, our city walls will be destroyed Who will defend? Nanguo, the lowlands, everyone is staring at the golden lion! I'm dead? Do you want all the subjects of the golden lion to die?"

Ashley covered her ears and burst into tears: "I won't listen, I won't listen! You've been lying to me, you've been lying to me all this time, I don't believe a single word you say!
