Chapter 89 The painful past
Hearing this, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became tense. Could it be that this person wanted to harm Leng Yu?
She raised her eyebrows lightly. The first thing she thought of when she wanted to harm Leng Yu was the dog prince, so she asked coldly:
"Who sent you? Leng Yu has become like this, and your master still refuses to let him go? Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?"
The man in black shook his head hurriedly, "Are you Princess Yu? You misunderstood. I don't want to harm Prince Yu, I am his acquaintance."
Luo Lan looked at him alertly, "Show your face and tell me your name. I will tell Prince Yu that if he is willing to see you, I will let you see him."
The man glanced at Luo Lan and then said:
"I can tell you my name, but the veil cannot be taken off. People here are too talkative."
Luo Lan smiled helplessly. Don't the people who come to Leng Yu dare to be upright?
She didn't want to embarrass him anymore, but nodded and said:
"Okay, tell me, what's your name?"
The man hesitated for a moment, and then said word by word:
"Princess, please tell me, my name is Ling Xiao."
Luo Lan looked at him again and said to Ah Hou:
"Wait here, I'll ask the prince if he recognizes him, keep an eye on him."
She winked at Ah Hou, intending to tell him to watch this person carefully and not let him escape.
She turned around and returned to the house.
Seeing her coming back, Leng Yu asked anxiously:
"What happened?"
She came to him and asked softly:
"There is a man named Ling Xiao, do you recognize him?"
Hearing this name, Leng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with a pale face, "Lan'er, why did you mention him?"
"The man outside, he said his name is Ling Xiao, and he wants to see you by name."
Leng Yu suddenly became speechless, his face changed color, he clenched his fists and said anxiously:
"Let him in quickly."
Judging from his nervousness, he must recognize this Ling Xiao.
So, Luo Lan turned around and went out.
But she didn't worry about letting a man in black come to Leng Yu. What if he was an assassin who wanted to kill someone?
Thinking of this, she came outside and said to everyone:
"Ahou and Ayu stay, you all should retreat!"
After hearing this, everyone retreated one after another. Luo Lan slowly came to him and said slowly:
"The prince recognizes your name, but I'm not sure if you are the Ling Xiao you said. To dispel your worries, there are only four of us here now. Please take off your veil!"
Ling Xiao thought for a while, then raised his hand and pulled off the veil from his face.
The man in front of him looks young. His eyes are sunken into his eye sockets, his eyes are melancholy, his cheeks are thin and bloodless, leaving only a trace of paleness. His face is full of things that should not be seen at his age.
A sense of vicissitudes of life.
He looks so weak that a gust of wind can blow him down. He doesn't look like a bad guy.
Luo Lan said to Ah Hou and A Yu:
"Take him in, cheer up, and don't let him get too close to the prince."
No matter what, she didn't dare to be careless.
After saying that, she opened the door and led the way. Ayu and Ahou put their swords on Ling Xiao's neck and carried him into the house.
When they came to the bedside, Leng Yu, who was sitting on the bed, saw Ling Xiao, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly.
"Xiao Lingzi, is that you?"
The moment Ling Xiao saw Leng Yu, his eyes filled with tears. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lingzi is guilty. Xiao Lingzi has no ability and cannot come back early to protect the prince. Please punish him."
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan could tell that Leng Yu was very familiar with this little Lingzi. She waved to Ayu and Ahou, and they retreated one after another. She also said to Leng Yu:
"Since you are old friends, let's have a good chat! I'll go see Dazhi."
Leng Yu nodded, Luo Lan glanced at Ling Xiao, turned around and left.
"Xiao Lingzi, get up quickly, sit over here and let me see you."
At this time, Leng Yu looked at Ling Xiao in front of him, as excited as he was when he finally saw the source of water after galloping in the desert for a long time.
Ling Xiao also wiped the tears on his face, stood up slowly and sat down on the wooden chair next to Leng Yu's bed. He looked at him and choked with sobs, "My lord, your legs?"
Leng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My legs are old. Xiao Lingzi, tell me, how did you get here after all these years? How are Xiaotan and the others?"
Hearing his question, Xiao Lingzi bit her lip, clenched her fists, and told Leng Yu what they had experienced over the years.
It turned out that three years ago, after Leng Yu was banned by the emperor, the four guards around him did not believe that Leng Yu would do such a thing, so when the emperor came to court in the morning, they broke through the palace gate and knelt at the entrance of the main hall, asking only for
The emperor will investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, the emperor at that time was so angry that he was dizzy. In addition, the prince, Taishi Wu and the prince's gang members were provocative, saying that they dared to kneel in front of the main hall, which was a threat to the emperor. In addition, these four people were highly skilled in martial arts. If they were not subdued,
, fearing that it will become a disaster in the future.
So, the emperor issued an order to put the four of them in a prison car and send them to Ninggu Pagoda under heavy guard. They were also given shackles and leg buckles all year round and made them do hard labor, but they were not allowed to eat enough. They were famous for their reputation.
, they are young and strong, and I am afraid that they will have lustful thoughts after eating and make big mistakes again.
In the past three years, they have received countless beatings and scoldings, and they have been able to eat cold meals, which is like the New Year for them.
Fortunately, they survived, all thanks to the protection of the national protector Liu Dechang. When they were sent to Ninggu Pagoda, Mr. Liu secretly gave him a letter and asked him to go find his disciples somewhere.
There were two officials over there who were Liu Dechang's disciples. Although they didn't take much care of them, they didn't let anyone harm their lives, otherwise they would have been tortured to death.
Hearing this, Leng Yu's eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Ling Xiao and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then how did you come back?"
Mentioning this, Ling Xiao's face turned pale and he murmured:
"We tried to escape from there and returned to the capital to find the prince, but we tried several times without success. We would be beaten severely when we returned. So we discussed that it would be easy for the four of us to escape together, so we decided to come out first.
I came back alone to see if the prince was okay. Finally, everyone said that I was the youngest and asked me to come back first. A month ago, in the dead of night, they helped me break the iron chain. They protected me and allowed me to escape.
."
Speaking of this, he suddenly covered his face and cried, "But the three of them were discovered by officers and soldiers. I was worried about what those people would do to them all the way."
Leng Yu clenched his fists tightly, beat his legs a few times, and said bitterly:
"It's all my fault, I've caused you trouble."
"Your Majesty, please don't be like this. If we didn't think of you, Your Majesty, from time to time when we were in Ninggu Pagoda, we might not be able to survive now. We just thought that one day we could leave there and come back to see you."
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up from the chair, fell to his knees again,
"Your Majesty, we heard that you are not having a good life. I'm sorry that I'm late. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
At this point, he beat himself hard on the head, Leng Yu quickly raised his hand to stop him,
"Xiao Lingzi, don't be like this. It's not your fault. Get up quickly."
Seeing that Leng Yu was a little anxious, Ling Xiao stood up from the ground again, "Your Majesty, I can't stay here for long. I escaped. There will definitely be a wanted document sent to the court. I'll leave first. Tomorrow night, I will
