The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 34

The relationship between the two can be traced back to decades ago. Hu Cuo met Ryusuke who was injured and besieged by others when he went out. kind of.

Hu Cuo didn't hide his thoughts at that time, what he wanted in return was clearly written on his face, and Long Jie could see it clearly.

He could have cursed for dreaming and then resolutely died, but he didn't, he agreed, and said that as long as Hu Cuo saved him, he could do anything.

It was originally a very spineless sentence, but coupled with his expressionless face, it made people disgusted for no reason. On the contrary, because of this weird feeling of disproportion, Hu Cuo was immediately deeply attracted.

"If he doesn't want to be with me anymore, he can just say it straight. I'm not the kind of unreasonable monster, and I will definitely let him go." Hu Cuo was very angry and a little uncomfortable, "But he said it in front of me. Killing my people face to face, I feel like I've been cheated."

It's not just being cheated, You Miao thought, maybe it's a spy sent by Zhulong.

He removed all the chains on Hu Cuo's body, "I'll try to see if I can lift the imprisonment on you."

Long Jie didn't do anything cruel, so Hu Cuo didn't suffer any crimes, except that he couldn't use his demon power and was locked in the bedroom all day, which was not much different from his usual life.

Of course, not being able to comb your hair doesn't count.

Hu Cuo turned his back to You Miao, making it easier for him to do something, "By the way, how did you know that I was locked up? A few days ago, a few little snakes came to me, saying that you came to me for something important. They said, but they were killed by Ryusuke before they had time to say what it was. "

In addition, Long Jie's reaction at that time was very strange, saying that he was not allowed to intervene, he thought that something had happened to You Miao, so when he was first locked up, he was very noisy and kept trying to find a way to get out.

It's just that the guards outside the door were obviously bribed, and he couldn't run out. He didn't know anything about what happened outside, so he could only worry blindly.

Seeing that You Miao was fine now, he was relieved and at the same time wondered why Ryusuke prevented the two of them from meeting?

In fact, if they knew Ryusuke's true identity, the reason behind this would not be hard to guess.

Long Jie actually belonged to Zhulong's tribe, he was his capable general, and he was also one of the group of demon clan who followed Zhulong to become a god.

His acquaintance with Hu Cuo was not accidental. Zhulong wanted to install a member of his own in Senqiu, and he took a fancy to the Chihu family. The reason was that he had to ensure that Senqiu's two main peace factions were under his control, so he joined them. So, a "hero saves the beauty" bureau has been set up.

The reason why You Miao was not chosen was because at that time, Zhulong had already had contact with You Jiu.

After You Jiu poisoned You Miao, even if their plan had fully unfolded, the plan was to break through one by one. Naturally, the two of them couldn't have a chance to meet at such a critical time.

When You Miao heard Hu Cuo's question, she also knew that she should explain the current situation to her good brother who has been imprisoned since the accident, but the place right now is not suitable for talking.

So he could only pat Hu Cuo on the shoulder, "Let's leave first."

The restraint on Hu Cuo was released, and he walked out behind You Miao, "I can't just leave like this, I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Long Jie gave my people, the old fox has been fascinated by him for many years, Everyone is crazy, they don't even listen to me, I have to save them!"

You Miao remembered the red fox people he saw when he came here, "How sure are you?"

Hu Cuo froze: "What?"

You Miao: "...how sure are you that you can save them."

Hu Cuo: "I'll go to Long Jie, torture him, and force him to release his control over my people!"

You Miao wanted to say that this method would not work, they were in the dark now and could not expose themselves, before they opened their mouths, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in front of them.

"Be careful!" He reminded Hu Cuo to pay attention.

But in fact, it doesn't matter whether you remind them or not, because the flames quickly became one, forming a circle around them.

It was discovered!

You Miao looked around vigilantly, not knowing how to expose her whereabouts.

Under the light of the fire, countless red fox tribesmen appeared on the surrounding walls. They held bows and arrows and pointed their arrows at the trapped two people.

Long Jie pushed everyone away from the flames and came out. He first took a fixed look at Hu Cuo, then turned to look at You Miao, "Demon Emperor? I knew someone might come, but I didn't expect it to be you."

There seemed to be doubts in his words, "Your poison has been released?"

You Miao didn't expect to be found out so soon, but it would be useless to conceal the matter so far, so she thought it would be better to act first, and gave Hu Cuo a look.

The two reached a consensus in secret, You Miao closed his posture, and put on a look that if he really wanted to say this, it would have grown up, attracting everyone's attention.

And behind him, Hu Cuo quietly accumulated power, the power of blood circulated, and gradually gained the upper hand, suppressing all the red fox people living in the field in one fell swoop.

"what!"

The red fox tribe members on the fence covered their heads one after another, screamed and fell to the ground, and the oil-soaked torches smashed into the short grass, and quickly set off a large area of ​​flames.

Long Jie looked at the red fox clansman who was rolling on the ground, and didn't intend to make a move, "I thought you would be merciful to the people of the same clan."

Hu Cuo snorted coldly, and casually pulled out a long sword from the hands of the clansmen on the ground, saying aggressively, "Unless you can undo the restraint on them."

Looking at the familiar faces struggling in pain on the ground, it would be a lie to say that his heart aches, since they are all his clansmen after all.

So he pointed at Ryusuke, "Let them go, come to me if something happens!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Long Jie suddenly smiled. This is a rare thing. Hu Cuo has been with him for so long, and he has never seen him smile like this.

After being surprised, he frowned: "What tricks do you want to do?"

Long Jie didn't answer, he stretched out his hand, clenched his fist lightly, Hu Cuo felt the world distorted for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

The screams in their ears gradually subsided, and some members of the Red Fox tribe even sat up from the ground with their arms propped up.

"What's wrong with me?"

"What's the situation, why am I here?"

"Ah, there's a fire, come and put out the fire!"

"There are still clansmen who are injured here..."

Hu Cuo looked at the scene in front of him, was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood in front of the crowd after recovering, looking at Ryusuke warily.

He turned his head and said to You Miao: "Go and take care of them, and leave this person to me."

You Miao hesitated for a moment, would Ryusuke undo the restrictions on the red fox tribe so easily?This makes people have to wonder if he has some conspiracy.

But considering the relationship between him and Hu Cuo, You Miao felt that he should give Hu Cuo the space to handle this matter alone.

Taking two steps back, he picked up a Red Fox member on the ground who had returned to his original form due to serious injuries, and motioned for the others to follow him to a safe place.

Looking back, the two people standing in the middle of the flames were standing quietly. It was a scene of swords drawn, but under the reflection of the orange-red light, there was a strange beauty.

Until everyone dispersed, Long Jie, who had been doing nothing all this time, made a move. Seeing this, Hu Cuo waved the long sword in the air, and the flame blown by the sharp sword air fell back, and then burned even more intensely.

At the same time, Long Jie turned his head to the left for a moment, and a sword energy barely missed him.

"Don't be so nervous." Reaching out to catch a strand of shaved hair, he looked at Hu Cuo with dark and complicated eyes, "I won't hurt you."

Hu Cuo's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and said disdainfully: "Speaking like you can hurt me, you are not my opponent at all."

Long Jie lowered his head: "Really?"

Hu Cuo's voice trembled, a corner of his heart was lifted, and the well-hidden pain was revealed, "You appeared by my side with ulterior motives, you have been using me, haven't you?"

Since the accident, this is the second time he has had major mood swings.

During the few days when he was locked up in the dormitory like an animal, Long Jie didn't know what kind of mentality it was, but he never visited him once. If it wasn't for the guards bringing sumptuous meals to him every day, he would have thought I was forgotten.

As a demon emperor, how could he have been wronged like this, but out of the inexplicable expectation in his heart, he was unwilling to believe that Ryusuke would hurt him, so he could only suppress his uneasiness. What should he eat and drink? Nothing happened.

It's just that it's impossible to not care at all, no matter how much you comfort yourself, facts are facts!

Hearing the forbearance of crying, Long Jie froze. He remembered the sword that Hu Cuo suddenly stabbed at the hall. Although he was surprised at the time, it was something Hu Cuo could do, so he was not too surprised.

Putting him under house arrest in the dormitory, he would go around the door twice a day, but he didn't dare to open the door and go in, not because he was afraid of Hu Cuo yelling at him, but because he was afraid of seeing that person's eyes full of hatred.

Later, I heard the guards say that everything was normal for him, and he quickly adapted to the life of captivity as if he had no heart or lungs. While he was relieved, he felt faintly that he had lost something.

Before today, he had never understood what made him so uneasy, until just now, when he caught a glimpse of the tears in Hu Cuo's eyes, he suddenly realized.

Hu Cuo likes him!

This recognition made Ryusuke's heart tremble uncontrollably. He clenched his fists tightly, and there was a trace of desolation in his eyes. He always thought that Hu Cuo had no feelings for him, so he secretly rejoiced when he was stabbed. The person who wants to protect should only be angry, not sad.

Seeing Hu Cuo's painful appearance now, he realized that he was completely wrong, and at the same time, he also understood that even if he liked it, it should have changed now.

Perhaps from the day he promised Zhulong to come to Senqiu as an undercover agent, the fate of the two of them was doomed.

"You have to understand," Long Jie forced himself to be ruthless, and decided to take this opportunity to completely sever the relationship between the two of them, "I let the Chihu people go because they are nostalgic, but because they are useless and not worth my time. Divine power to maintain the prohibition on them."

At this point, the broken roots can only make the two of them more painful, so it is better to end here, so he pretended to be indifferent: "I am indeed using you. The acquaintance from the beginning is to be able to break into the red fox clan smoothly. Serve as the eyeliner of Candle Dragon."

When he said this, a gust of wind blew up in the sky, and the flames grew in response to the wind, and the crackling sound was even more depressing, it was almost heartbreaking.

Hu Cuo couldn't hear it, tears were about to fall, he blinked, and just about to speak, the long hair that was simply tied behind his head unprepared was blown away by the wind, and it was almost all messed up on his face superior.

"・・・"

Hu Cuo: "Bah bah!" The hair was eaten into his mouth.

Ryusuke: "..."

No matter how sad the atmosphere was, after this incident, he could no longer feel sad. Hu Cuo pushed the hair off his face, sighed, and said, "Go away, we will meet again in the future, we are enemies."

In different positions, no one can try to convince anyone, it can only end like this.

As for the fact that the undercover agent deceived his feelings and killed other people... Hu Cuo thought he was not a generous person, but he had to admit that he didn't want to kill Ryusuke, at least not now.

At the beginning, I once stabbed people in the heart with a sword in a fit of anger, but it was extremely angry, and I found it boring when I returned to my rationality.

So now he thinks about it, what to do with love, since he can't do it, he can only let him go.

Ryusuke thought he heard it wrong, "You let me go?"

"What else?" Hu Cuo rolled his eyes, "The two of us will fight at most to a tie. Anyway, I can't stop you from leaving, so why bother to get injured for nothing."

Although he refused to admit it, he did fail as the demon emperor. Judging from the cultivation level that Long Jie was able to directly imprison him before, he overestimated himself if he was tied.

If he fights seriously, maybe he really isn't Ryusuke's opponent.

Long Jie turned around hesitantly, suddenly remembered something, took out something from his arms, and threw it to Hu Cuo, "Your folding fan."

Hu mistakenly caught it, shook off the Momofuku fan, and turned away pretending to be chic.

Long Jie stopped him, "When Zhulong selected people from the Red Fox Clan to undercover, I came here voluntarily."

Hu made a wrong step, then continued to walk forward, "Oh."

What's the use of saying this now?He couldn't be happy again.
