Homecoming through online games

=====================

It was just after noon, the hottest time of the day.But in the sky prison in the capital, the difference that can be felt is nothing more than that the light spot projected by the small window has shifted a little bit.

And this point, how can the people who are detained here have the mood to pay attention to this point.

Master He sat in the prison with disheveled hair and a rough prison uniform. Although he was described as embarrassed and haggard, compared with those inmates who were crying, shouting, or mumbling to themselves in the prison, he was sitting silently. Quite generous.

The judgment about them has been passed, and the people who are locked here at this time already know the final result.

death penalty.

In this dungeon filled with insanity and confusion, a figure walked through the prison, and finally stopped outside the cell of Master He.

A clear voice that didn't match the environment called out: "He Xiuwen."

Master He, who hadn't been called by his first name for a long time, paused for a moment before realizing that someone was calling him.He raised his eyebrows and said coldly to the visitor: "You shameless woman, don't you even understand the basic word 'ritual' now?"

The visitor was dressed in plain white clothes.Although there is no ring to wear Dingdong, it has a beautiful appearance.If it's not Luo Ying, which one is it?

She was not angry when she heard the words, put down the basket in her hand, and looked at Master He with a strange look in her beautiful eyes.She said, "He Xiuwen, you are still like this today."

Master He gave a cold snort.Although he doesn't have much affection for his son He Liang, but for this husband who left his newly mourned on the day he married into the He family, he hooked up with the flirtatious Anshun Wang Jianlin, and the newlywed husband openly went out with Jian Lin even before his bones were cold. , making the dignified He family a cheap daughter-in-law who became a laughingstock in the capital, she was completely disgusted.At this moment, he didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he simply closed his eyes, so that he could see nothing.

Luo Ying was not in a hurry to speak.She opened the basket, took out the food in it one by one, put them on the ground in the cell through the gap in the fence, and finally took out a small jug of wine, held it in her hand, and chatted: "There is one in the He family. The cook, it is said that his cooking skills are quite good. I have asked him for advice these days, how much do you think I have learned this skill?"

Master He smiled, and sat there without opening his eyes, as if he was extremely disdainful.

Luo Ying poured out a small glass of wine and poured it on the ground carefully, the smell of wine filled the cell for a while.She said in a loud voice: "Other dishes are fine. This special plate of osmanthus cake took me a lot of thought. You should try it." She pushed one of the plates in the direction of Master He.

The pastry is as white as snow, and the fluffy hoarfrost is dotted with bright red petals, like new plums falling on the first snow, which looks delicate and attractive.

Hearing the word "Osmanthus Cake", Master He's expression changed, he opened his eyes, without even looking at the cake, he just stared at Luo Ying and asked, "What do you mean?"

Behind the cell, in the shadows where the sun can't reach, the woman in white slowly raised her face, revealing a beautiful face.However, what is frightening is that it is a face that is completely different from before.The woman in white who had completely changed her face said softly in a low voice that had also changed: "Try it. Don't you like this sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made myself the most?"

Upon closer inspection of that face, in terms of the outline of the eyebrows and eyes alone, it was three to four points similar to He Liang.The image of Mr. He's late wife, who had been dead for more than ten years, seemed to come out of his deep memory. In this dungeon, the slim and graceful appearance of that time reappeared.

The expression on Master He's face seemed to have seen a ghost for a moment, and he lost his voice: "Liniang?!" He leaned forward eagerly for a moment, and then realized the mystery, and forced himself to calm down. He shouted, "You woman, don't play tricks!"

The beautiful woman in white just picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it out to Master He.With this movement, the sleeves were half down, revealing a slender wrist as white as snow.She said: "I remember at that time, you liked it most when I fed it to you with my own hands. I even wrote a poem about it. It's just that it's been too long, but I can't remember the words anymore. Why, except for the heart at that time , Has your taste changed too?"

Master He's complexion changed, he stared at her, but suddenly shouted: "Come here! Come here!"

The woman chuckled, but without seeing her move, Master He, who was sitting on the other side of the cell, was pulled over involuntarily as if caught by some invisible ribbon.The slender fingers rested on Master He's chin, although they were slender but possessed the strength that no one could struggle with.The action is really unceremonious to force open his mouth, and stuff the whole pastry into his mouth.Concerned and asked: "Does this taste good?"

Master He was struggling desperately and wanted to spit out the pastry.However, when the taste of the pastry melted on the tip of his tongue, he stopped struggling as if he had been struck by lightning.Unbelievable and panic flashed in those eyes, even the woman let go of the fingers that restrained him, he didn't know how to dodge, chewed subconsciously, looked up at the woman, and said vaguely: "Who are you?"

The woman looked at Master He, but didn't answer his question, but just asked: "He Xiuwen, how does this sweet-scented osmanthus cake taste compared to the one that your cook made for our children?"

Following this soft whisper, a green air was visible on the face of Dashi He, as if an invisible ghost had strangled his throat and slowly tightened it.He opened his mouth in vain, and there was a hooting sound in his throat, but he couldn't breathe the air he needed to survive.His eyes gradually protruded, his expression became ferociously distorted, he still managed to squeeze out a voice from his throat, stretched out his hand, and said, "You, you..."

"The Palace of Seven Kills accepted that piece of soul-fixing incense. I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift in return?" The woman straightened her back as she spoke, and she had regained Luo Ying's appearance.

She patiently watched Master He struggling, twitching, and fell down in the prison. Ji Zhang's fingers trembled unwillingly, then disappeared into silence, and finally became silent.The sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the side was knocked to the ground when he was struggling, and the snow-like cake fell into the dust, staining his whole body with filth.

Looking at the lifeless corpse, after waiting for a while, Luo Ying raised his hand slightly and threw something over.Master He's body spontaneously ignited and disappeared in an instant.

She raised her hand, and her white fingertips were holding a piece of penis as thin as a cicada's wing. The outlines of the lifelike facial features could be discerned from the appearance of "Liniang" just now.Luo Ying rubbed it lightly, rolled it up carefully, and put it away carefully.

Sister Liniang, you don't blame me for killing your husband, do you?If you were alive, you would definitely do it yourself.

He shouldn't have attacked His Royal Highness Seven Kills, let alone... killed Ah Liang.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that Ah Liang was my sister's son all this time.Sorry for not teaching him better.Sorry, I couldn't save him.

But why, sister Liniang?I still remember the happy smile on your lips when you talked about your husband.As an outstanding disciple of the Palace of Seven Kills, why did you choose such a husband in the end?If I had known this earlier, why did I take into account the so-called private secrets between my classmates, and why didn't I ask more about his identity...

Sister, I poisoned him to death with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you taught me to make, and that was the end of it.But those who have passed away will never come back.

I finally understood why Ah Liang asked me about the past when he hurried back to the sect's residence, and why he asked me where I learned to make this kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

When Ah Liang was young, he loved the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made the most.Did he eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made for him before he could remember, when you were still alive, sister, like the young me in the past?

The cakes made by the chef in the He Mansion were almost like the flavors of his sister's, but after all, they were only similar in shape, and lacked the most crucial secret.But this is enough for A Liang to feel familiar, is it because he recognized this practice that he was so shaken that he didn't even notice that he was hit by the incense of the soul?

Just, sister, you know what?The cook has been working in He Mansion for more than 30 years, and this is the first time that Ah Liang has eaten this sweet-scented osmanthus cake in He Mansion.Do you know, after you passed away, what kind of life did A Liang live in the He Mansion before worshiping in the Palace of Seven Kills?No, it's better not to know.

He Xiuwen, he really deserves to die.

Luo Ying poured all the jug of wine on the ground, and with a crisp cracking sound, the jug fell to the ground and shattered.The figure dressed in white passed through the dark dungeon silently, and gradually disappeared.

Only the small spot of light shining through the small window reflects the countless dust flying in the air and a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake scattered on the ground.

A shadow flickered past, blocking the light, and it returned to normal for a moment.

Ye Mu rolled over from the small high window, cautiously avoiding the patrolling soldiers, turning around and hiding his body away from the sky prison, and then moved his sore body from lying under the eaves for a long time. He let out a sigh of relief with complicated emotions.

He still hasn't recovered from what happened in the sky prison.

Although the fifth prince's palace change was unsuccessful, it caused quite a stir.From the capital, it was easy to inquire about the death of the fifth prince, and the news that the senior scholar He and others were sent to the sky prison.When he heard the news that the fifth prince had died, he was shocked, and immediately thought of Jiang Wang who was thinking of revenge.If he knew that his enemy had died before he even took action himself, how would Jiang Wang, who had paid such a high price, react?

But worries are worries, and the information that can be understood still needs to be understood.He managed to know the location of the sky prison, so he came over alone to step on the spot, and came to meet that Scholar He at night.

Who knew that when he was circling the sky prison to observe the terrain, he saw Luo Ying's light spot approaching from the map.

He was located not far away, so he simply took the risk of being discovered by the soldiers and found the small window corresponding to the cell, thus witnessing the poisonous killing from beginning to end.

When Luo Ying raised his hand to pull Master He over, he smelled something ominous, and Ye Mu wanted to stop it.After all, from their conversation, he had already guessed that this disheveled prisoner was Master He, He Liang's father.Just when he moved his hand slightly, another dark emotion took control of him.

Is it necessary to stop it?he asked himself.

When Jiang Wang narrated all kinds of things that happened in the past, the role played by this scholar He will never be disgraceful.It can even be said that the reason why Jiang Wang has come to where he is today is a large part of the reason for this is University He.While listening to Jiang Wang's narration, although he didn't show it, he was really furious, wishing to beat up this guy who was in vain as a father.

Now, if it is not stopped, this person may die soon.Even if it is stopped, he will still die soon.

Wouldn't Jiang Wang be better off dead than alive?

The opportunity to do it is fleeting, and after being stopped by this irresistible thought for a moment, it is meaningless to think about it any more.The course of events could no longer be undone.

Master He is dead.Died at Luo Ying's hands.

Luo Ying's various performances, the dialogue between them, and the "Liniang" mentioned are quite interesting.But at this moment, in Ye Mu's mind, what he recalled over and over again was his momentary hesitation just now.

He was a little overwhelmed.

Did I... did something wrong?

He thought so.

No matter how many bad things Mr. He did, no matter how calm Jiang Wang behaved, the weight of the word "father" will never be so insignificant.

Would Jiang Wang be happy to hear of his father's death?After all, it was his biological father, so it was possible for him to have no feelings for him?Moreover, the fifth prince is dead, and he has lost his target of revenge, can he bear such a blow again?

Isn't it...shouldn't watch everything happen and die?

Ye Mu slowly tightened his hands.

Anyway, at least this matter should be told to Jiang Wang.Regarding the news of the death of Master He.

The rest... let's talk about it later.Things have already happened like this, and no matter how unpredictable the consequences are, they must always be faced.

The five princes and He Dashi, the two important people, are dead, so it is meaningless to stay in the capital any longer.Ye Mu was concerned about Jiang Wang, and after taking a rest, he and Ye Cang prepared to leave the capital, head south together, and after catching up with Ye Nuan who was on the front line, he asked Jia Luo to send Ye Cang to Jiangnan, while he He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to inquire about Jiang Wang's movements in the demon army.

When leaving the city, there was an accident.

When entering and leaving the city gate, there is always a routine inspection.Generally speaking, the inspection of entering the city is stricter, while the inspection of leaving the city is relatively loose.However, the sergeant who was in charge of the inspection this time stared at Ye Mu's face several times, and didn't say let him go.

Ye Mu could still hold his breath, but the line behind was a little agitated.Seeing this, the sergeant at the side came over and asked the inspector, "Hey, what's the matter, is there a problem?"

The sergeant in charge of the inspection was a burly man with a leopard head and eyes around him, standing there quite scary.At this moment, he stared at Ye Mu with a confused expression on his face. He scratched his head and muttered, "Why do you always feel familiar, as if you've seen it before?"

The other sergeant immediately became vigilant when he heard the words, looked at Ye Mu carefully, and recalled the wanted notices in his mind in recent days, but found no one who looked similar to the person in front of him.Looking left and right, this is a calm and trustworthy person, with a clever little boy, it doesn't seem like there is anything secret.His expression relaxed, and he said: "Hey, you are too tired from fighting these days, I don't think there is any problem. Let's go." The second half of the sentence was said to Ye Mu, and he waved his hand to signal his release.

Ye Mu nodded as a gesture, and then led Ye Cang outside the city gate.Before he had walked a few steps, he shouted loudly from behind: "I remember! Wait for me!" The soldiers at the city gate were so startled that they immediately raised their guns at Ye Mu, and the tip of their guns stopped him. their way.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he adjusted the double knives in the parcel box to a suitable position for grabbing. Ye Mu lightly pressed Ye Cang's shoulder to signal that he should be calm, turned around calmly, and said, "Mr. What are your orders?"

The big man took a step forward and walked over in a few steps. He laughed and waved to the soldiers at the city gate, saying, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's okay." It was almost dragged to the side, and then let go, slapped Ye Mu's shoulders heavily, stared at his eyes, and blamed: "Why! Don't you recognize me?" He wanted to rub Ye Cang while talking Ye Cangchi slipped his head and ran away.The big man scolded with a smile: "The boy is clever!", completely unaware that the devil king over there almost exploded, but because it was difficult to explode in front of his father, he gritted his teeth in his heart and wanted to turn around and teach him a lesson.Can Tangtang Kanshui's head be touched by anyone? !

Ye Mu looked at this familiar man, and ran through his mind several times, and was absolutely sure that he had never seen this man before.But thinking about Jiang Wang's appearance as him at this time, he didn't say anything dead in his mind, thinking that the big man didn't look familiar with him, so he just tentatively said: "It's kind of familiar, but I just can't remember it. .”

The big man said "Hi" and said: "I don't blame you, the soldiers were in chaos that day, and it was not very real at night. Brother, I also have good eyesight, so I can recognize it."

Ye Mu, who was recognized as a "brother", moved his fingers, and listened to him patiently for the time being.

"What? Still can't remember?" The big man said with gestures, "It was when the bastards attacked the city a few days ago, do you still remember that we lifted you up from the base of the city! I will take you there It’s flushing! Here, it’s the well over there!” He pointed to the bottom of the wall at the other end, and there was indeed a well.

Patting his forehead, the man excitedly rolled up his sleeves, brought his thick arm covered with black hair to Ye Mu, and showed him a tattered piece of cloth that was so dirty that the original color could not be seen, and said: : "Look! Do you have any impression of this piece of cloth? Hey, let me tell you, maybe it's really the luck of your piece of cloth. After that day, I won't be seriously injured in this big battle!" There was a bang bang, and he grinned, "Do you remember this time?"

Ye Mu felt Ye Cang pull his sleeve from behind, talking as thin as a gnat, and glanced at the information board.

[Current] Ye Cang: Father, is there your breath on that cloth?Although very light.What's more important is the breath of a high-level demon.

Gently patted Ye Cang with the back of his hand to signal that he knew. At this time, Ye Mu was almost sure that the person he met was Jiang Wang, so he showed a look of sudden realization and followed the words: "It turned out to be you! Thank you very much that day!"

"Hey, it's easy to do." The big man waved his hand nonchalantly, squeezed Ye Mu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's good. I've grown stronger these days. That's how a man should be. Eat more and grow longer. I met you the other day At that time, you were so skinny, and your little face was so white, I’m afraid I’d smack you apart.” He shook his head with emotion, patted Ye Mu’s shoulder and said, “Seeing that you are more lively now, I Don't worry too. Take advantage of Xiumu, take good care of him, and if you have the strength, if those bastards want to come again, they will cut their heads more quickly! Come on, don't delay your work, go! Brother, I'm here The second guard in the south of the city, come to find me for a drink when you are free, the kid who brought you up that day is not here today, I will introduce you later." He shook his head with emotion, and muttered, "It's also fate."

Ye Mu's expression was a little tense. From the few words of this straightforward man, he could roughly guess Jiang Wang's appearance that day.Jiang Wang never mentioned the part about the outside of the city during the war. Although the cloth strip tied around his arm was just swept away in a hurry, one could see how miserable Jiang Wang was in that time from the blood stains on it.And these are the parts that Jiang Wangyun never mentioned in his indifferent description.

He closed his eyes, and said to the big man sincerely: "Thank you, big brother, I will come to bother you when I have time, and leave."

"Okay, then it's settled!" The big man laughed, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Ye Cang's hair again, but he missed it, "Huh" and said in surprise, "The boy's reaction is really fast!"

"..." For the safety of the big man, Ye Mu took Ye Cang to leave as soon as possible.

On the other side, after Luo Ying came out of the prison, he went to the small courtyard of the Palace of Seven Kills in the middle of the capital.

"You're back." In the small room, the Lord of Seven Kills put down the information in his hand and raised his head.

After Luo Yingsu made a salute, Fang said: "Master, the matter is over."

"Thanks for your hard work." The Lord of Seven Kills said, with a slight sigh, "Liniang was willing to retire when she was at her strongest, but it's a pity that she was entrusted to someone else."

Luo Ying bit her lower lip and said: "Even if you know what happened today, my sister has a spirit in the sky, and you will not regret your original decision."

"She really has such a personality, you understand." After finishing this sentence, the Lord of the Seven Killing Palace put away his chatty tone and became serious, "About Dinghunxiang, I only told you before. The He family's involvement. Here is a piece of information from Xiliang recently, please take a look."

After receiving the information, Luo quickly read it and said in surprise, "Such a big event happened in Xiliang."

"Although the epidemic has been resolved, there is one unresolved matter." The master of the Seven Kills Palace said, "According to the disciples of the Baicao Hall, a famous disciple of my Seven Kills Hall participated in this matter from the beginning to the end. According to reports from the disciples stationed in Xiliang During this period, there was indeed a disciple of my Qisha Temple who went to the local secret post, but he did not reveal his code name." She knocked on the table and said, "And this incident was not reported by any disciple in the hall before. The Xiliang resident A routine report is the first intelligence we have received on this matter."

Luo Ying frowned slightly, and then quickly opened it, saying: "Could it be an accident during the war. After all, the transmission of information is still lagging recently, and it has not yet fully returned to normal."

"There is one more puzzle." The tone of the master of the Seven Kills Palace suddenly sank, "From the information, the disciple of the Seven Kills Palace went to Baicao Hall to seek the 'resurrection technique'." She tapped The desktop seems to be talking to itself and also seems to be asking, "In this world, is there a 'resurrection technique'?"

"How is it possible?" Luo Ying said calmly, "It is a law of heaven and earth that people cannot be resurrected after death. Even those walking corpses are just a type of low-level monsters and no longer belong to humans. If there is such a thing as 'returning from the dead', The resurrected one is definitely no longer a human being, but just a monster that has lost its original intention. Which disciple is so stupid that he still can't find out the key to this?"

"This is the third incomprehensible matter." The Lord of the Seven Kills Hall suddenly stopped tapping his hand on the table, and said, "Jing Antuo, the chief disciple of Baicao Hall, conveyed his greetings to me, and the poison department The disciple investigated and apologized for the Dinghunxiang incident, and at the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to the disciples of the Seven Killing Hall for their help to Baicaotang during the epidemic, and asked me for the rank code of this disciple."

She paused for a moment, and said lightly: "That's the problem. The disciple of the Hall of Seven Kills, according to Chief Jing An's description and the available information, there is no such person in our Hall of Seven Kills."

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

The silence lasted for a short moment, Luo Ying said: "Could it be... is it him?" The meaning of the words was full of uncertainty.

She thought of Ye Mu.

In her opinion, Ye Mu is a very weird and mysterious person.

When they met for the first time, she also noticed the hidden mark on the Seven Killing Palace on the other party's armor, but at that time the door suddenly changed, she was seriously injured, and He Liang couldn't reveal her identity in front of the same door, so it was inconvenient to ask .Immediately afterwards, the ship was attacked by Molong, Ye Mu, Ye Cang, and He Liang disappeared, leaving her and Ye Mu's two children alone.However, Mo Long never attacked them again. Instead, he transformed and sent them directly to the capital, expecting someone to pick them up.Although Mo Long's words were extremely strict, Jing Tong could see clearly that the reason for this powerful spirit creature to run all over the place was for Ye Mu's two children.

When they met for the second time, she was already in contact with Anshun Wang Jianlin, and she was secretly investigating the inside story of the Palace of Seven Kills.At that time, the news came that the monsters had come to the riverside, and the two factions in the court and China were arguing fiercely.The prince suffers from Emperor Huahan's hidden hostility towards Beidou camp. The life and death of the head of Beidou camp is uncertain at this time, and the intention of Beidou camp is unknown, so he wants to find an envoy to inquire about Beidou camp.At this time, she received a message from He Liang, informing Ye Mu that he was about to go to the rendezvous, and said that this person had good strength and could be trusted.This is how he was later recommended to King Anshun.It's just that what I didn't expect was that a sudden change happened to Ye Nuan. Ye Mu would never leave the newly found child and travel far away, so this matter was never mentioned again.

The third time we met... She didn't know why He Liang gave such a rare evaluation as "trustworthy".And whether the anger, sadness and despair that Ye Mu showed at that time was out of friendship or... the dead is gone, and she doesn't want to think about it.At least, she thought, there is still such a person who cares about and grieves purely regardless of anything, if He Liang knows about it, he will be happy too.

Luo Ying has been thinking about the last time in a hurry. For some reason, she can't let go of the look in the eyes of that person under the moonlight at that time.She was even a little unsure whether the particularly pale and thin person was Ye Mu, and she began to suspect that her memory was wrong in repeated memories.

No matter how Ye Mu's whereabouts became a mystery and his identity was weird, because of He Liang, Luo Ying always had a good impression of him, and he didn't think he would be an enemy of the Palace of Seven Kills.But if this is the case in the information, and someone pretends to be a disciple of the Palace of Seven Kills—then the concept is completely different.Therefore, Luo Ying did not hide anything and told the truth about what he knew.

It's just that when she was talking, she felt a little uneasy.

If the unidentified disciple of the Palace of Seven Killers in Xiliang is indeed Ye Mu, then it is clear at a glance why he pursued the "art of bringing the dead back to life".

Under the snow-colored sleeves, she clenched her fingers tightly.

I just hope that Ye Mu will not do something under paranoia.

She will not allow anyone to disturb Ah Liang's peace!
