Chapter 123 The War King Shows His Power
Twelve's questions were very rude, one after another, and even the bright light could not dispel the inexplicable gloomy aura around him.
In response, he was greeted by a flash of white light.
Twelve retreated quickly to dodge, and the War King attacked again with a dagger in his hand and a cold expression.
A few moves were made in a flash.
呲!
A line of blood appeared under Twelve's neck. Twelve covered his neck in disbelief, leaning against the wall of the temple, blood seeping out from between his fingers.
The War King casually tore a piece of his clothes and wiped the blood stain on the dagger. Without raising his eyebrows, he said calmly, "This is just a warning. If there is a next time, it won't just be the vocal cords that are cut."
After wiping it, the War King put away the dagger and condescendingly threw a bottle of golden medicine in front of Twelve: "People, you must recognize your own identity."
After the War King finished speaking, he seemed disdainful to continue entangled with him, turned around and walked away.
Twelve's vocal cords were injured, and he spoke hoarsely to his back, "Twelve doesn't have much status, but since we, thanks to Ling, didn't die in the Great Desolate Mountain, we are no longer anyone's subordinates."
"This life is worth nothing. We are her support."
His words still carried a strong warning.
The War King paused, "Then guard her well and witness my marriage to her!"
After saying that, he walked away.
The War King's back was arrogant, his white blood-stained robe's long sleeves fluttering in the autumn wind, the corners of his robe dancing. He walked forward in the sunshine, his whole body seemed to be glowing.
Like an immortal.
Twelve slowly slid down the hall wall and sat in the shadow of the eaves. The blood from his neck sank into his black clothes, leaving no trace.
He looked at the War King's back and said, "This guy is still as annoying as ever!"
However, even though Twelve's words provoked him, the War King did not completely turn hostile. The War King's strike only injured Twelve's vocal cords, which was considered a punishment for Twelve's nonsense.
The wound was not deep or fatal, but it was extremely insulting.
Therefore, the twelve's provocative words at least confirmed that the War King was not as malicious as he had been just now.
I guess he's sincere.
The War King dared to keep him because he was sure he wouldn't pose any real threat to him. Just like before, no matter what he did, he was always an outsider between the two of them.
Before the War King had gone far, he encountered Gui Mingyue, who was hiding in the distance. He looked at Gui Mingyue, who was hesitant and wanted to approach, and stopped to warn her, "Stay by Axue's side and don't wipe the blood stain on her brow."
Although Gui Mingyue didn't understand, she nodded vigorously.
"The man at the door of the bedroom is a doctor. Don't let him leave the bedroom." King Zhan ordered lightly.
Gui Mingyue turned her eyes to look at Twelve and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
When the War King saw the secret guard emerge from the shadows, he knew that he had something to report, so he waved to Gui Mingyue and said, "Go!"
Gui Mingyue quickly bowed and left.
"Master, we did find the secret passage when the fire was extinguished." The secret guard said in a low voice.
The War King's eyes flickered slightly: "Come on, take me to have a look."
Gui Mingyue looked back at Prince Zhan and the secret guards hurriedly leaving the palace. In the end, she couldn't help but shout at their backs, "Prince, please take care of yourself. I don't want to see you collapse when I wake up!"
Just now she saw how pale Zhan Wang's face was. Zhan Wang was the man her sister was going to marry in the future, and he also saved Yaoguang and the others. He was a good man.
War King, please take good care of yourself.
The War King was a little surprised, but he didn't turn around and just raised his hand to indicate that he understood.
"You don't look like a young lady at all!" Twelve looked at Gui Mingyue raising her hands to her lips like a trumpet and shouting at the War King, and couldn't help but sneer, "You're really not presentable."
"You're so presentable, but you know who you are!" Gui Mingyue turned around and retorted, "Even though my throat is hurt, it still can't stop you from opening your stinky mouth and stinking people!"
"Although I don't know who I am, I know that Gu Shusheng who lives in the west courtyard has been asking where you live and wants to find you!" Twelve's voice was very hoarse, and blood came out of his vocal cords when he spoke, but this could not stop him from speaking like a knife, stabbing at other people's pain points.
Mingyue, who had squatted down to help Twelve pick up the golden wound medicine, froze. She looked up at Twelve, whose face was pale and blood was spurting from his neck. She threw the golden wound medicine directly into his arms and glared at him fiercely: "You grew up in the gutter, you have a bad heart and a foul mouth!"
She left angrily, having originally wanted to help the man treat his injury.
He really deserves to be beaten!
It hurts so much that I die.
Twelve opened the golden medicine and poured it on his wound. Hiss, it hurt a little. But a little pain was good, at least it reminded him that he was still alive.
The pungent smell of medicine hits your nose.
The golden medicine that the War King gave him is actually a good thing, but it really makes him even more annoying!
"Hey, don't stay outside, come with me into the palace!" Gui Mingyue turned back and, without caring whether Twelve had treated his wound or not, she simply grabbed him and left: "The prince said, you are a doctor!"
He couldn't be left out alone. What if he spoke up and offended someone and got beaten to death? Besides, she wasn't the only one who saw this guy arguing with the War King. Not all of the War King's men were good-tempered!
My sister needs a doctor, and he must stay alive.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, stop pulling and tugging!" Twelve stumbled when Gui Mingyue, who had been doing farm work since childhood, pulled him. "Don't covet my beauty. I'm the man you can never get, no matter how much you wish!"
Gui Mingyue couldn't stand it any longer and punched Twelve's wound: "This is the place where people talk, so you better shut up!"
The War King's bedroom suddenly became quiet.
In front of Baihua Tower——
The broken walls and ruins have been cleared away, and the original carved corridors and painted walls can no longer be seen in their original glory. However, in the ruins, the secret room and secret passage that had not been found before were revealed, and the pitch-black hole seemed to be mocking the futility of these people's efforts.
"How is it now?" The War King was sitting in a wheelchair. He no longer needed to dress up. His face and condition looked particularly sick.
The Jinwu Guards had not rested all night and were now exhausted.
"Your Highness, the secret passage leads to West Chang Street, but it was blown up in the middle. The blast pit is located right on the grounds of Prime Minister Zhuang's residence." The deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard said with some embarrassment, "I wanted to investigate, but the Zhuang family wouldn't let me. And without entering the Zhuang family, there's no way to determine the direction of the secret passage."
"Not letting you go?"
The War King raised his eyelids slightly, and a sarcastic arc appeared on his lips: "Zhuang Wencai must be getting senile and confused."
He directly took out the token for mobilizing the Jingji Guards and said, "Where are the Jingji Guards? Go surround the dealer and ask the Jingzhao Yin for the capital's population registration list and arrest the people according to the list."
"In Prime Minister Zhuang's mansion, from the Prime Minister to the cleaners, arrest them all, not a single one can be left behind!"
"Arrest Prime Minister Zhuang?!" The leader of the Jingji Guard was dumbfounded. He knew that the King of War was cruel, but he didn't know he was this cruel.
He is the chief of the civil officials of Dongchu, and his influence affects the support of scholars all over the world!
