Half-dead paulownia

(in the secret room)

"But Han Sha is also a person who has always been ungrateful, meaningless at all, like a rock." Mei'er muttered.

"It's just a rock that Meier can't break through, do you want me to try it?" Lie Sha said unruly.

"If the adoptive father has nothing to do, then the child will retire first." He didn't pay attention to anyone, as if everything they said had nothing to do with him.

"Haha, it seems that none of us will be able to influence this stone." Mei'er responded to Liesha as if watching a good show.

"It's nothing to say, just asking what's going on with you recently?"

"The capitals of Anling Kingdom and Huanzhao Kingdom seem to be relatively peaceful now, but as the princess of Huanzhao Kingdom and the Crown Princess of Anling Kingdom, they will definitely not let it go if they disappear mysteriously like this. "

"I see what good strategies they can come up with!"

"Then what does foster father want to do? Could it be imprisoned forever?" Mei'er asked curiously.

"What's the point of imprisoning people? What I want is a heart, a puppet that can be used by me." Ghost King said grimly.

There has never been unreasonable resentment, and sometimes love is too real, but it has become a deep sin.

"Report!" a soldier shouted.

"Why panic?" Ghost King asked mightily.

"Go back to Ghost King, someone is asking to see you."

"who?"

"A man who calls himself a Mask."

"Masquerade? How did he come back?" It was the unbelievable voice of the ghost king.

"You all go down, and Han'er, Meier, Lie'er, you should also be busy with your work, I will contact you if there is anything." It was the tone of the ghost king's order.

"Yes!" replied in unison.

(Walking on the way out of the secret room)

"Han'er, do you know the origin of that mask?" Meier asked curiously.

"I don't know." Such a simple answer.

"What about Lie Er?" Meier continued to ask.

"You have so many questions, don't you know that this has violated the rules of the ghost gate?" Lie'er replied leisurely.

"I'm just curious. Every time this masked person comes to look for the adoptive father, the adoptive father will avoid everyone. It's too strange."

"Could it be that foster father has to report to you when he meets anyone?" Lie'er said wickedly.

"They didn't mean that, how could Lie Er say that, I'm just curious about this person."

"Curiosity is not necessarily a good thing." Lie Er said slowly.

During the conversation, a group of three people walked to the door of the secret room. A man in white was standing at the door holding a silver scimitar. The green beads inlaid on the handle were shining strangely. The black cloak covered all the way to the bottom of the feet, making it impossible to tell the figure.

The three of them looked at the person who entered the secret room together, and suddenly, Han Sha had a feeling of deja vu, his cold eyes fixed on the mask.

"Have we met?" Han Sha, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

He didn't answer, his eyes just stayed on Han Sha for a while, and then he entered the secret room.

"Masquerade, don't come here without any harm." The ghost king's evil voice sounded.

"Ghost King, long time no see." Masked said slowly.

"We agreed that we would never see each other again. I'm really surprised."

"Naturally, if there is nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Hall."

"It's still refreshing as always. I don't know why you can come here?"

"One thing, let Ling Zining go."

"Masked, if you don't open your mouth, you will be fine. Once you open your mouth, you want to eat an elephant."

"There's no need to go around in circles between us."

"No discussion?"

"There is no negotiation, you have to let her go."

"What if I say no?" Ghost King's murderous voice echoed.

"You make a condition."

"This time you are not qualified to negotiate terms."

"Masked, if you dare to threaten me, aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed?"

"I'm afraid? Are you not afraid?"

"Haha, what a joke, I am the ghost king today, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay, then don't tell me that Han Sha is not Li Han, and he doesn't know that you are his biological father, Li Nian!" The ghost king froze instantly in his light tone.

(in the secret room)

"What exactly do you want?" Ghost King asked sharply.

"Don't get angry, I just want you to let Ling Zining go, I don't ask too much." Masked said calmly.

"Well, you are a mask, are you threatening like this? Don't think that I really dare not reveal your identity." Ghost King's evil tone.

"Haha, but what good will it do you if you find out who I am? We are grasshoppers tied to a rope. Don't forget that water can carry a boat or capsize it." Masked said sinisterly. .

"Masquerade, you really are a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, this time you won." Ghost King said reluctantly.

"One more thing. A few years ago, when I chose the right time to attack Anling Yuhao at the Temple of the City God, a masked man in white suddenly appeared to block him. I could feel his deep inner strength, and he seemed to have insight into everything. I'm so keen, I hope you can help me find out whether it's an enemy or a friend." The mask said thoughtfully.

"Are you still threatening me?" Ghost King asked mockingly.

"If there is a result, my mask owes you a favor." Masked said calmly.

"Why should I trust you?"

"You have to know that helping me is tantamount to helping yourself."

"You really are in control all the time."

"Thank you, but under the law of the jungle, if you are not careful, you will die without a whole body." The mask said meaningfully.

"Okay, of course I will help you, but you must also agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Anling Yuhao must die!"

"I'll do it if you don't tell me."

"I'm just reminding you clearly, don't forget what you should do at critical moments, and it doesn't just refer to Anling Yuhao." The ghost king reminded meaningfully.

"That's really troublesome for you, goodbye." After the mask answered displeased, he turned and left the secret room.

The gloomy secret room, the weird atmosphere, the dialogue with hidden mysteries, whether it is an enemy or a friend is no longer important, but a conspiracy has been quietly staged.

(Maple Leaf Alley, Capital of Anling)

"Father, why hasn't Brother Han'er come back these days?" Xiao Jinmo asked anxiously.

"Perhaps something has happened to delay it." Father Xiao said speculatively.

"Did something happen?"

"It should be."

"Father, the child has always had a problem." Xiao Jinmo said in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Feng'er?" Father Xiao asked with concern.

"Why did I find it was completely different when I got home, so dilapidated, as if I had gone through a war, and my brother's home was gone, why was it a piece of ashes? Why did I always feel that there was one?" A lot of changes, but I don't know the slightest?" Xiao Jinmo asked a series of questions, as if he had been holding them down for a long time.

"Feng'er, these things are a long story. Otherwise, father will tell you in detail someday, okay?" Father Xiao tried to cover up forcefully, for fear of revealing any flaws.

"But father, why can't you say it now?" Xiao Jinmo asked curiously.

"That's right, Uncle Xiao, even a foreigner like me is curious, so let's talk about it." Ling Zhuoxi who was on the side interjected.

"This..." Father Xiao hesitated.

"That depends on whether I'm in the mood to say it." Suddenly a cold voice came from the door, more bone-piercing than these nine cold days.

The door was pushed open, mixed with the cold winter wind.

"Brother?" Xiao Jinmo rushed over cleverly, Ling Zhuoxi frowned unconsciously, and looked back suspiciously.

At this time, Father Xiao's expression was very unnatural, with anxiety showing on his face.It's him!I saw a large navy blue robe with engraved patterns, standing alone and cold, half of the face covered by long hair, while the other half was exposed, it looked extremely exquisite, and the eyes were cold but sad.Ling Zhuoxi stared blankly at the man in front of him, he was definitely the one who took Xiao Jinmo away in the hall that day.

"Feng'er, you're really back safe and sound." Han Sha stared at Xiao Jinmo in front of him, although his tone was cold, there was a rare trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"Yeah, brother, I'm back, Feng'er was really wrong, I shouldn't have disobeyed my brother that day, and almost..." Xiao Jinmo said guiltily.

"It's okay, just come back now." Still keeping his eyes on Xiao Jinmo for half a moment.

"By the way, brother, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Ling, Feng'er's savior." After speaking, he pointed to Ling Zhuoxi who was stunned at the side.

"Master Ling?" Han Sha was slightly taken aback, then looked along.

"Young master, Ling is being polite." Ling Zhuoxi who reacted quickly said politely.

"It's you?" There was a trace of murderous intent in Han Sha's eyes, and a knife pointed at Ling Zhuoxi's neck without hesitation.

"Han'er stop!" Father Xiao shouted eagerly.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Jinmo also quickly reacted and shouted anxiously.

"Young Master, do you recognize me?" Ling Zhuoxi asked calmly.

"Feng'er, are you sure he saved you?" Han Sha ignored the question, turned around and asked Xiao Jinmo solemnly, but did not put down the knife in his hand.

"I'm sure, I passed out in the woods that day, if he hadn't passed by and rescued Feng'er, I'm afraid you would never see me again." Xiao Jinmo recalled.

"You actually saved him. His current situation is thanks to you. Am I right, Mr. Ling?" Han Sha asked angrily.

"Is Feng'er a gift from us?" Ling Zhuoxi asked as if she had been hit.

"Han'er, how can you speak like that to Feng'er's benefactor like this? You are just a foreign merchant, don't bring up the old things in front of Feng'er." Feeling the tension in the atmosphere, Father Xiao quickly reminded Han Sha.

"It's no wonder if you don't remember, Mr. Ling has a prosperous family, who would remember this kind of person?" Han Sha said mockingly.
