Iron Armored Emperor

It is not entirely correct to say that Di Qiye is Gu Lie in the dream.

He still stood on the sidelines, like a normal dream.It's just that Di Qiye could "feel" Gu Lie's feelings for some reason, which made Di Qiye immediately have the illusion that he was Gu Lie.

At the beginning of the dream, Di Qiye first heard a very vague conversation.

"They are already the only grandsons of the kings of Chu. We risked our lives to rescue them. We have to make a mark. If something goes wrong in the future, then our blood will be shed in vain."

"Exactly what you said! I know a brother named Guo Ming, who is from southern Xinjiang and is very good at tattooing. I asked him to tattoo Da Chu's fire and phoenix emblem on the two children where it would not be easy to detect, and then take them away. "

"Guardian Dou Yi Bo Yuntian!"

"The dog thieves are chasing too hard, everyone run for your life. Take care, we will meet later!"

"There will be a period later!"

After a burst of noise, everyone left and returned to silence.

Only then did Di Qiye see clearly that this seemed to be in a farmer's bungalow.

Two children are lying side by side on the simple wooden bed of the farmhouse. The one on the left is dressed in bright clothes, embroidered with gold and jade, and can be seen as a descendant of a prince at a glance;

The one on the left, with wet tears, fell asleep soundly with his mouth open, choking from time to time.

The one on the right just frowned slightly, with a serious look like a very young adult, as if he already had a problem with restless sleep at such a young age.

Di Qiye recognized at a glance that the one on the right was Gu Lie.

Almost at the same time when he saw Gu Lie with his own eyes, Di Qiye felt the pain and uneasiness that haunted Gu Lie's heart.

That's right, at this time Chu Gu had just been expelled from the Yi Jiu Clan, and all relatives of these two children did not exist in the world, only the two brothers were left.

Thinking of this, Di Qiye suddenly realized that Gu Lie was the only grandson of the king of Chu, that is to say, the child on the left could not survive.

Di Qiye sighed.

Di Qiye carefully looked at the eight-year-old Gu Lie, his eyebrows were still the same, only more childish, and he still clenched his fists in his sleep.

Just as he was thinking, the child on the left started crying in his sleep, crying and crying, he woke up, stretched out his hand to push Gu Lie, pushed Gu Lie awake, sobbed and said: "Gu Lie, I'm afraid."

Gu Lie was obviously at a loss, he tentatively patted him on the back with his small hands, and imitated an adult to comfort him: "Don't be afraid."

After being comforted by Gu Lie, the child cried violently.

"So noisy!"

Bodyguard Dou led the previously mentioned dead brother into the door, and when he saw the child crying, he immediately taught him a lesson.

The child was too frightened to continue crying loudly, but still couldn't help sobbing softly.

Gu Lie still patted him.

Guard Dou's dead brother didn't talk much, he cooked two bowls of Mabosan in silence, fed the two children to drink it, opened the densely packed needle bag, and mixed the paint again.

Halfway through the adjustment, the fatal brother frowned and said, "The pigeon blood is not enough."

"Can't stab?" Guard Dou was anxious.

"It's not that tattoos can't be done," Brother Guoming explained, "If you want a tattoo that can't be seen normally, or that will be visible after drinking or scalding hot water, you must use pigeon blood. Pigeon blood is only enough for one. The other can only be an ordinary tattoo. .”

Mafeisan took effect, and the two children became drowsy, but not to the point of falling asleep.

Bodyguard Dou scanned the clothes of the two children, and immediately said decisively: "Give it to the one on the left."

Then he said: "Brother, this matter is of great importance, so I entrust it to you. I will go out and lure the pursuers away."

The dead brother nodded: "I'll save it."

As soon as the words fell, Guard Dou came out of the house with a knife.

Di Qiye frowned, although the bodyguard Dou gave him the pigeon blood obviously because the child on the left had a higher status, but for an eight-nine-year-old child, random tattoos are dangerous enough. Coupled with pigeon blood, isn't it more likely to be infected?

Before Di Qiye could think about it, the dead brother stripped off Gu Lie's clothes and drew patterns on Gu Lie's body. This step alone took an hour. Afterwards, he picked up those densely packed silver needles and dipped them in Apply the dye, aim at Gu Lie's back, and stab it one stitch after another.

"Ugh..."

Gu Lie just whimpered softly.

Di Qiye was furious because he felt the continuous pain that Gu Lie felt, but he was helpless.

This is just a dream, and Di Qiye can't change anything.

Di Qiye had already heard from Gu Lie that the tattoos were made one by one, but that was just Gu Lie's vague and deliberate ambiguity. .

Thinking of how the beautiful fire and phoenix emblem that seemed to be burning on Gu Lie's back came from, Di Qiye couldn't help but want to pull out his Azure Dragon Saber.

Di Qiye couldn't bear to look at it, and couldn't bear to turn his gaze away.In fact, he couldn't turn his eyes around, it was out of his control.

After an unknown amount of time, Di Qiye suddenly felt a sharper and more unbearable pain than before. The effect of Mabosan must have passed, but the fire and phoenix emblem was only pierced halfway!

The dead brother felt the child's skin tense, and fed Gu Lie a few mouthfuls of cold Mafeisan, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he continued to stab with needles in his hands.

After the tormented tattoo was completed, the dead brother changed the paint and painted the tattoo twice.

When the paint was finished for the third time, the beautiful burning phoenix occupied Gu Lie's back, flaunting its existence.

Di Qiye's murderous intent was not serious, but at this moment, he really wanted to kill it.

It has been from late at night to noon and sunny, and the brother who died did not rest, and cooked another Mabosan, then gave it to another child to drink, and drew the pattern for him.

It was the same process, the difference was that this time, he mixed a lot of pigeon blood into the paint.

The child whimpered and cried in pain, but the dead brother ignored him and just pinched the needle and got the tattoo on his own.

In the evening, guard Dou returned to the bungalow.

"It's done?"

"It's done," the dead brother nodded, "Do not apply medicine, do not scrub, you need to apply this bottle of color-fixing potion after the scab falls off, just apply a layer, and then it will take a day or two before it can be applied." Touch the water."

"I wrote it down. Brother, thank you for your kindness."

"polite."

Before the qi word fell to the ground, Brother Guoming's head fell to the ground.

The other child screamed in fright, and shrank away from Gu Lie, but when he moved, he started to cry again because of the pain in his back.

Gu Lie couldn't move either, he could only hold his hand.

Guard Dou frowned and looked at them.

The crying gradually became low until there was no more sound.

Guard Dou nodded in satisfaction, said with a stern face, "You are the grandson of the king of Chu", "Don't be willful and noisy", "revenge is the most important thing", and taught the two children a lesson, and then dragged him to die brother His body went out.

After he went out, the other child dared to sob and said to Gu Lie: "Cousin, I'm afraid, I miss my father and mother. I don't like Guard Dou."

They were all lying on their stomachs, and the tattoos on their backs were gradually bleeding, which seemed to be congealed slightly, and there was no sign of scabs yet.Di Qiye felt Gu Lie's pain, and his whole heart ached.

The little Gu Lie buried his face in his sleeve, wiped it vigorously, and then whispered in a hoarse voice, "I want to too."

At night, Guard Dou kept a cold face and repeatedly warned them not to turn over, not to touch the tattoos, and not to pull up the quilt to cover the tattoos. Both children nodded obediently.

As soon as the lights went out, it was dark in front of my eyes.

It was also dark before Di Qiye's eyes, and when there were pictures again, it was already dawn.

"Cousin, Gu Lie"

Di Qiye followed the sound of crying, if he wasn't in the dream, he might be overwhelmed with surprise.

It's not surprising to say that he was surprised. Di Qiye had long been worried that the tattoo would cause infection, but after all, he was an eight-nine-year-old child, and the reactions to infection and illness were far more serious than what Di Qiye worried about.

The child was already dehydrated with a high fever, his lips were dry and cracked, his back was full of blood, whether it was a rejection reaction or a simple infection, he looked horrible, and his complexion was faintly lifeless.

At this time, logic should not cry anymore, it will only exacerbate the symptoms of dehydration, but how can the child know this, he will cry when he is uncomfortable, and he will cry when he is afraid. : "Gu Lie, what's wrong with me? My back is covered in blood, why don't you?"

Gu Lie was startled and frightened. When his cousin asked him this question, he immediately blamed himself. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll call Guard Dou."

Then he ran out of bed and hurried to find someone.

Di Qiye's heart skipped a beat, and he felt mixed emotions.

He finally understood where Gu Lie blamed himself for everything, where did it come from.

But who can blame a dying child of eight or nine?

It was dark again, and what Di Qiye saw again was Gu Lie, who was lying on the same bed with his eyes wide open.

That child is indeed gone.

Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie patiently, even though he was still far away in the sky at that time, in this way, he could be regarded as sleeping with Gu Lie, as a comfort.

Gu Lie finally fell asleep in a daze, and then woke up suddenly. He sat up, touched his scabbed back, put his hands in front of his eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then walked gently to Guard Dou's room .

"Guard Dou..."

Di Qiye failed to follow Gu Lie, and could only hear them talking.

"What?!"

"I, I dreamed that there was blood on my back."

"Gu Lie, you are the only descendant of King Chu! How can you be so cowardly! How can you avenge your nine Chu and Gu clans like this!"

"I'm afraid..."

"Don't talk like this!"

"Yes."

"What are you afraid of? Your cousin is too weak to withstand the bumps. You are the heir of Da Chu's destiny. What is there to be afraid of? What else?"

"nothing."

"Go back to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow."

"Yes."

Di Qiye gritted his teeth with hatred.

However, Di Qiye's eyes went dark again, and when the lights turned on again, Di Qiye actually saw himself.

But Di Qiye didn't remember the scene in front of him at all.
