Time travel without cheats

When the dim light dimmed again, Ran Xiaole knew that the night was coming.

The brothers and sisters of the Duan family are all sleeping with their eyes closed, unwilling to wake up. At this moment of mental and physical torture, the illusion in the dream is the peach blossom garden, which can give people a short-term relief.

But Ran Xiaole couldn't sleep, and didn't want to.

Duan Yang must be targeting Xiao An, using him as a bargaining chip.

If that child had no choice but to let him change his life for another, he would probably do the same.

"Xiao An... baby..."

Ran Xiaole bit his finger, he couldn't call out that name, otherwise the yearning would go to his bones, a single hair would move his whole body, and he couldn't bear the crushing pain.

"Hmph, are you thinking about your concubine brother again?"

"Mr. Duan?" Ran Xiaole wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head and stared at Duan Zhuo, his eyes were dull, but obviously filled with anger, "Please don't insult Xiao An, he is not mine...mine..."

"Oh? That's why you don't have any sense of shame?" Duan Zhuo got up, walked towards him with a smile, his footsteps were very light, and his voice was also very soft.

Ran Xiaole remained silent, Duan Zhuo pinched his chin, and carefully looked at the burnt scar on his face, "Tsk tsk, Ran Xiaoan really has a strange taste, even if he likes men, he must always find someone with good features. What's an ugly face? It's not as good as a dirty little boy."

Ran Xiaole endured his sarcasm, Duan Zhuo's hand was like a pair of steel pliers and he couldn't shake it off, so he could only resign himself to his fate and said: "Yes, I am shameless, Mr. Duan, you don't rest in the middle of the night just to humiliate me?"

"I don't have time for that."

"Then what are you doing?"

"My..." Duan Zhuo sneered suddenly, leaned close to Ran Xiaole's ear, and said in a deep voice: "My two younger brothers and sisters are too kind, I can't bear to kill you, I can only wait for them to fall asleep before..."

"Don't!" Ran Xiaole came to his senses, and while desperately pushing Duan Zhuo, he shouted loudly: "Duan Xi! Duan..."

Hit by a sharp palm wind on the chest, Ran Xiaole was thrown flying, hit the wall and slid down, his mouth was still open, but it was blocked by a sour smell, and he couldn't make any sound until he heard a wow, He vomited a few mouthfuls of thick blood before he finally caught his breath.

"If you...kill me...Even if you go out...Xiao An will not...let you go..."

"Hahaha..." Duan Zhuo mended his broken ribs again, grabbed his neckline, and said grimly, "This account can't be settled with me, so you can die with peace of mind..."

Ran Xiaole took a deep breath, the matter had come to an end, he had no choice but to close his eyes and resign himself to fate.

"Don't worry, I'm very agile..."

Duan Zhuo's hands were covering Ran Xiaole's head, and he was about to exhaust his internal strength, but he heard the sound of iron chains rattling from nowhere, he looked around vigilantly, and shouted: "Who?"

The stone door was pushed open, and Ran Xiaole turned his head to look over, but his eyes that were about to close were gleaming with hope. Before Duan Zhuo could move, he clutched his stomach and crawled out from under his hand, "Song Father-in-law?"

"You know him?" Duan Zhuo withdrew his strength, but held Ran Xiaole's arm tightly, "Who is he? What is he here for?"

"I don't know." Ran Xiaole couldn't break free from him, so he had to let him pull himself. He collected himself and confirmed again: "Song Yu, is it you?"

"Brother Xiao Le, long time no see, why are you so down?"

Yes, it's him.

Ran Xiaole smiled, "Did Eunuch Song come to kill me?"

"Our family is here to save you."

"This is strange, Xiao Rui will let you let me go?"

Speaking of Xiao Rui, Song Yu's barely maintained smile disappeared in an instant.When he approached, Ran Xiaole could see clearly that four years could leave such a deep mark on a person's face.He was obviously much older, maybe it was because of the moonlight, but Ran Xiaole always felt that the black hair on his head had turned into white hair, and his whole body was like a dead leaf on the western mountain, ready to say goodbye at any time.

"Your Majesty, you were murdered."

"Huh?" Ran Xiaole was shocked but not surprised, "Duan Yang?"

Song Yu stared at him in amazement, his suspicious eyes gradually turned sad, "I don't know his name, but you have seen that man in black who can see the past."

Is he Duan Yang?

"But why haven't I heard that the emperor has passed away?"

"Hmph." Song Yu shook his head sadly, "He detoxified Fang Jin's poison in the emperor's body. From then on, the emperor told him that he would obey his orders. He changed courtiers, slaughtered dissidents, and then... poisoned him again. Your Majesty..." Song Yu calmed down for a while, and continued to say with difficulty: "He is so powerful that he can actually enter the body of the Emperor, and the Emperor's every move, speech and behavior are perfectly learned, and no one has discovered the flaw..."

"then you…"

"I watched the emperor grow up. Even if he can hide it from the world, he is determined not to hide it from me. But I am weak, so I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping that one day... I can avenge the emperor..."

"Eunuch Song..."

"Brother Xiao Le."

Song Yu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Ran Xiaole. Ran Xiaole was restrained by Duan Zhuo, so he could only let him restrain her, "You are..."

"Say something outrageous, the emperor deserves to die, but we slaves should also die for the master." He knelt down to Ran Xiaole's feet and begged: "When he was talking with the emperor secretly, I also got some news, you My younger brother has great powers, I don't want to do anything else, I just want him to kill that person, with my old life, I can serve the emperor with peace of mind..."

Ran Xiaole was noncommittal, he could not make any decisions for his younger brother, not to mention, no matter how hateful the other party was, he was also Xiao An's biological father.

"sorry."

"Ha..." Song Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, with tears running down his face, "I knew that your state of mind protecting your younger brother is exactly the same as that of me protecting the emperor."

"Eunuch Song..."

"Forget it, anyway, I don't believe that your Yan Luo-like brother will spare him."

He stood up and took out four black pills from his arms, "Take this."

Duan Yan blocked his outstretched hand, "What is this?"

"An antidote."

"The antidote?" He snatched it away, thought for a moment, and stuffed one into Ran Xiaole's mouth, "Take it first."

Ran Xiaole rolled his eyes at him, bowed to Song Yu, "Thank you."

"No need."

Seeing that Ran Xiaole was fine, Duan Zhuo let him go and ran to wake up his younger siblings. Duan Xi didn't know what dream he was having, so he started up with an "ah" sound, and blinked nonchalantly after a long while, "Brother? "

"Don't ask, you two ate this."

Duan Xi sniffed instinctively, and grinned involuntarily on his thinner face, "Brother, where did this come from?"

Duan Zhuo looked at Song Yu, and Duan Xi quickly ran over to him and gave him a deep bow, "I really got poisoned, thank you father-in-law for saving me."

"It's useless to talk too much, just accept it quickly."

"Ah."

The three of them also swallowed the antidote, and after about a stick of incense, they all felt dizzy, and the stone wall began to dissipate layer by layer like shedding skin. Open your eyes, this is just an ordinary cage.

"Come with me. Oh, right." Song Yu hurried out, then hurried back, holding four sets of the eunuch's robes in her hands, "Put this on."

"it is good."

Ran Xiaole held his breath, Duan Xi supported him, and the five escaped from the dungeon on tiptoe. Song Yu prepared a carriage outside. After looking around, he turned around and said to Ran Xiaole: "This They are the slop buckets of the Imperial Dining Room, four of them are empty, you go in."

"What about you?"

"I've had enough of my life, I can stay here for a while, brother Xiao Le, four years ago...I'm sorry."

Ran Xiaole smiled, "I forgot about such a long time ago."

Song Yu also laughed, and he sighed, "Brother Xiao Le, if I hadn't entered the palace and become a eunuch, if I hadn't had a different standpoint, if I hadn't had to harm you, our family would have made you a friend."

"You already are"

"Why?"

Ran Xiaole patted Song Yu's shoulder, "Eunuch Song, Ran Xiaole still misses your glass of beheaded wine to this day."

"Ha...hahaha...in the next life...haha...in the next life..." Song Yu laughed until he coughed. He nodded his eyes with his cuff and said seriously, "Let's go."

Ran Xiaole wanted to kneel, but Song Yu supported him, "Thank you for your kindness."

"it is good."

The sound of rattling horseshoes and creaking wheels hit the hearts of the five people alternately. Song Yu drove the car silently, and the narrow and short bluestone road seemed as long as life.It wasn't until they disappeared suddenly that Ran Xiaole realized how precious this noise was.

"Song Yu, it's so late, what are you doing outside?"

Ran Xiaole froze. After four years, he could still clearly recognize this voice.

Xiao Rui's voice.

"Return to the emperor, the swill is too smelly, the boys in the imperial dining room don't know the rules, and the servants are afraid of disturbing your holy body, so they should send out these dirty things overnight."

"Is it necessary for you, the father-in-law in charge, to do this kind of trivial matter in person?"

"The little ones didn't do their job properly, and the slaves taught them a lesson. They were negligent for a while, and they were beaten so hard that they couldn't stand upright."

"You are considerate. Will you come back?"

Song Yu paused, "Naturally, he will come back."

"Well. Okay, you guys go."

"Yes."

Ran Xiaole heard clearly that what Xiao Rui said was, you.

The sound of horseshoes sounded again, Ran Xiaole gripped his heart, the pain in his ribs made him sweat, but he had no time to take care of these, he didn't believe that Xiao Rui, no, Duan Yang, would let them go so easily.

"boom!"

Sure enough, with a piercing hiss, the protective umbrella was shattered into pieces, but the barrels of the others were safe and sound.The person not far away was staring at him straightly, neither sullen nor smiling, but with a confident look, he slowly walked towards the carriage.

"Eunuch Song!"

Song Yu fell into a pool of blood and had already closed his eyes. Duan Yang rewarded him with dignity and walked peacefully enough.

"Such a dog slave is not worthy of wasting lonely time."

"Duan Yang, stop pretending."

Ran Xiaole jumped out of the carriage, he was exhausted, he swayed a few steps before he could stand still, "Speak."

"Smart." Duan Yang circled around him and said to himself, "Why can't you see it?"

Ran Xiaole stood upright, "Let them go."

"Okay, I always keep my word." Duan Yang flashed in front of him, "However, you have to keep your word, don't you?"

"What?"

"That note clearly says, if you kill one person, the rest will live. I've already made an exception, but you are still so greedy. How can you break the rules?"

Ran Xiaole swallowed, and forced a breath, "Okay, kill me, you let them go."

"Brother Xiaole!"

Duan Xi lifted the lid of the bucket and got out, sweat or tears on his face, "Don't..."

"Xiaoxi." Ran Xiaole held his hand, "Remember what I said, let Xiaoan be well, go back quickly, be good."

"I don't want you to die..."

"How can Zhengchou repay your life-saving grace, the opportunity has come." Ran Xiaole smiled and touched his head, "Xiaoxi, my life is still useful to him, he won't kill me ,don’t worry."

"But…"

"No but! Be obedient!" Ran Xiaole hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I can only trust you, Duan Xi, tell Xiaoan, I am willing."

"Brother Xiaole..."

Ran Xiaole wiped away the tears for him, "Tell him, do you remember?"

"Ok!"

Duan Xi cried too much, Ran Xiaole couldn't bear to look at him, and shouted at Duan Yang: "Fulfill your promise."

"Although my younger brother is a coward, this stupid nephew can still make a living."

Ran Xiaole stood in front of Duan Xi, "Fulfill your promise!"

"Oops, ok."

Duan Yang's dragon robe waved in the air, and the frightened horse started to move again, and ran towards the palace gate. Duan Xi shouted loudly, but Ran Xiaole turned his back and turned a deaf ear.

"Ran Xiaole?" Duan Yang revealed his own voice, "Are you my son's brother?"

"Yes."

"That's a coincidence, I'm his father."

"Bullshit!" Ran Xiaole is really barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes at this time, he spat, pointed at Duan Yang's nose and cursed: "You ask yourself, how can there be a father like you who wants to kill his son in the whole world! He has been alone for 18 years, 18 years! Have you ever raised him? Now that you are back, have you ever compensated him? You still have the nerve to rely on the old man and call you his father? You rubbish! Straight male cancer ! Abnormal! Bastard!"

Duan Yang just frowned and smiled, "But I am his biological father whose blood is thicker than water, Ran Xiaole, do you think I want this son?"

"You don't want me! I will take care of him for the rest of my life, don't bother you!"

"Hahaha...will you take care of it on the bed?"

Ran Xiaole was speechless for a while, then stared at Duan Yang confidently, "None of your business!"

"Think about it carefully, who is the person who hinders his success?" Duan Yang leaned close to him, squeezed his huge palm hard on the wound in his abdomen, and said quietly: "Please also ask yourself, if you are shameless, Who is the person who disobeys the laws of heaven and behaves like a dog?"

Ran Xiaole was trembling with pain, he clenched his teeth, and a word escaped from between his teeth: "I will not leave him."

Duan Yang sneered, "What if heaven and man are separated forever?"

"You're going to kill me?"

"Yes."

"If you kill me, Xiaoan will hate you forever."

"That's exactly what I want." Duan Yang looked directly at him, his eyes were fierce and decisive, "You don't know what I want."

"what?"

Duan Yang raised the corners of his lips, and Ran Xiaoan often did this little trick, "I just want to make him suffer. The more he suffers, the more fierce Jin Zhu will be. Only then can he reach the pinnacle, and only then can I know where the infinity of human beings lies." .”

"Is success so important? Is it so important to be a dragon and a phoenix? Wouldn't it be good to let him be an ordinary and happy child? He is your own son who broke his bones! How could you treat him like this!"

"I don't need mortal feelings, and neither does Duan Ran, but I can bear the price of losing a lover, and he must be able to bear it too."

"He's different from you!"

"Of course it's different! Hahaha..." Duan Yang's smile was filled with triumphant satisfaction, "He is much stronger than me, and he will be worthy of being my Duan Yang's son when he has the ability to kill me!"

Ran Xiaole couldn't understand such a terrible person, and he didn't want to understand, and he had no chance to understand again.

"You've kept him too long."

Severe pain swept through his whole body, and Ran Xiaole heard the crisp sound of bones breaking from his abdominal cavity, as well as Duan Yang's cold words echoing in his ears:

"Father and son recognize each other, how can you not give my good son a big gift?"

The author has something to say:

Xiao Le will suffer again. . .

I'm guilty, hit me (*/ω＼*)

It's all the darkness before the dawn, it won't last long eh!
