But before people could wake up from the shock and feel happy and relieved, new news suddenly came.
Cromwell Corky, the former chief of police of the Wenning District Police Station, successfully escaped from prison on the night of his arrest and is now wanted throughout the city.
The first time he heard the news, Lang Xue thought of Su Zuo.
Of course she heard about the horrific massacre in the city, and she also saw with her own eyes the prostitute who was very close to Su Zuo, getting on the black carriage that was rumored to be involved in the incident.
Since the incident, Su Zuo had not come to see her again, which made Lang Xue worried about his situation. Of course, she was not worried that Su Zuo would never leave again, but that she was afraid that Su Zuo would never leave again.
In excitement, he would run to hunt down Cromwell himself.
Cromwell was very strong, and Lang Xue only needed to take a look at him from a distance to understand that the bloody aura seeping out of his bones was not something ordinary people could possess.
And Su Zuo would kill him, and Lang Xue did not hesitate. Although Su Zuo always looked relaxed and cheerful in front of Lang Xue, Lang Xue knew that he could live a normal life in Wenning District.
Su Zuo is a ruthless person.
Be ruthless to your enemies, ruthless to strangers, and even ruthless to yourself. Lang Xue has been watching Su Zuo since the Gray Branch Exchange Incident, so she is very aware of the other side of Su Zuo hidden - Su Zuo's ruthlessness.
It's not a flashy thing like a gangster, but a feeling hidden in the bones.
Perhaps to put it in sanctimonious terms, it means being decisive, not being moved by external things, not being disturbed by external affairs, but Lang Xue, who has lived in Wenning District since she was a child, doesn't care about that. In her impression, in Wenning
District, anyone who is not ruthless enough will either die or live in misery. Su Zuo is not dead, he is still living happily, so he is ruthless enough.
Whether it was rescuing Lang Xue, a murderer, holding a medicine box alone at night when the signs of the corpse-crushing demon first appeared, dragging the body through the streets; or whether he was willing to spend a huge sum of money just to learn magic from someone,
Breaking into the exchange alone and taking chestnuts from the fire; even the Wings of Truth incident that Su Zuo didn't want to mention, the lingering hidden illness that Lang Xueguang left from him, and entering a place that usually only accepts women's prayers.
It is enough to imagine what extraordinary things Su Zuo did in that incident to move the face of the aloof Kneitin High Priest.
If you are not ruthless enough to yourself and others, you will not be able to do this.
But ruthlessness alone is not enough. If you only have ruthlessness, you can indeed survive in Wenning District, but you will only become like Lang Xue, a lonely person, or like those human gangsters.
, get together and form gangs to fight bravely.
In addition to being ruthless, Su Zuo also has certain qualities that Lang Xue does not have. It is precisely because of these qualities that many outstanding people in Wenning District gathered around him, including Lang Xue.
Snow itself.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of such qualities that Lang Xue is particularly clear about what Su Zuo will choose to do after the people around him are hurt. Because now she can think clearly through herself - if she is hurt
It was Su Zuo who was hurt, and Lang Xue himself would feel the same as Su Zuo and make the same decision as Su Zuo.
I will never let you go...
Shattered Corpse Demon!
Raising his head and looking at the deserted door of Nolan Ji'er, Langxue seemed to be able to hear the angry cry deep in Su Zuo's heart from that building filled with deathly silence.
.
The silent Nolan Ji'er was heavily guarded, but this was nothing to Lang Xue. Most of the strong men in the Golden Chain of Crow, such as Galt, had already dispatched the whole city to search for Karen.
Will left, and the remaining kittens, two or three intermediate swordsmen, couldn't even detect the existence of Lang Xue.
The back door that Su Zuo often came in and out of was tightly closed. He ran quickly through the blind spot of the sentry's sight, jumped upstairs and climbed into the building through the window on the second floor.
Following several well-dressed prostitutes, we arrived at the prostitutes’ accommodation area. Usually, this is where prostitutes sleep and work. However, it was daytime at this time, and the doors of many rooms were open, but inside
There was absolutely no one there.
Lang Xue took off a random set of clothes from the closet in an unoccupied room, and changed out of the original inconspicuous gray rag robe. She put on the prostitute's clothes, and then took off the scarf, looking at Lang Xue's clean and unsullied beauty.
Even if you walk openly in the corridor of a brothel, your appearance will not attract anyone's attention.
After changing into clothes that made it easier to move around, Lang Xue found people faster. She even pretended to be nonchalant, grabbed two young waiters and asked them about the situation, making them blush and daydream.
After a few words, Shi Shiran walked away gracefully.
Because she was asking for directions, Lang Xue didn't take too many detours and went directly to the private room on the second floor of the brothel. The most popular prostitutes in Nolan Ji'er lived there and were usually used to receive distinguished guests.
Now one of the rooms has become a special ward for Cynthia Godfrey, whose original stage name is Qiluo, and Lang Xue is looking for "black hair, black eyes, about 1.2 meters tall, short straight hair"
"Boy", now lives in this room with her and takes care of all her "daily life".
When Lang Xue found Su Zuo, he was sitting in front of Qi Luo's bed, helping her peel fruit. When Lang Xue opened the door and walked in, Su Zuo didn't seem to be much surprised.
"Would you like to eat an apple?" Su Zuo greeted Lang Xue just like in the past.
He was neither surprised by her appearance nor felt strange by her slightly revealing clothes - in other words, it was precisely because Su Zuo acted too calmly that Lang Xue felt a little uncomfortable and abnormal.
The room looked very messy. In addition to some items that belonged to the original owner of the room and looked very girly, there were also a lot of scattered items that clearly did not belong to this room.
In the corner of the room surrounded by pink brocade, there is a mismatched shabby wooden table. The dirty tabletop is covered with various powders in glass bottles of unknown composition, and short pieces cut into sections are scattered everywhere on the floor.
Steel pipes, broken springs and gears were scattered everywhere, mixed with ribbons and brocades, making it particularly dazzling.
Lang Xue dragged her somewhat obstructive skirt and slowly walked to the bed. She leaned over and looked at the girl lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Compared to the way Lang Xue looked when he first saw her, she had removed all her makeup.
At this time, she looked extremely beautiful, with her pale face and bloodless lips surrounded by dark purple hair, like the most beautiful sleeping beauty, lovable.
"She...is still alive." Lang Xue gently touched Qi Luo, or Xin Xia's pale cheek, with her fingers. The warm feeling of the tentacles made her confirm her life and death.
"Yeah..." Su Zuo nodded quietly, then used a spell to beat the peeled apple-like fruit in his hand into a paste, "I just fell asleep and don't know when I will wake up."
Seeing Su Zuo holding a wooden bowl, sitting sideways on the bed, lifting the purple-haired sleeping beauty, and feeding her fruit paste bit by bit, Lang Xue felt that her heart was so depressed that she could hardly speak.
Lang Xue gritted her teeth. She had almost never felt pain for herself, but now because of Su Zuo, she tasted this not-so-pleasant feeling for the first time: "You...are you okay recently..."
"..." Su Zuo remained silent until he put the bowl down and wiped the fruit paste that accidentally got on the corner of Qiluo's mouth, and then said, "It's probably not good, but it's not bad either."
Su Zuo helped Qiluo and asked her to lie down again: "As you can see, I'm not dead, so I can't say it's bad, but I'm very unhappy now, so I can't say it's good either."
"As you can see, I've been very busy recently and haven't looked for you, so why did you come to see me today?" After handling Qiluo's matter, Su Zuo straightened his expression and faced the wolf with an upright attitude.
Snow.
"..." Lang Xue was silent, standing in front of Su Zuo, her chest as white as snow rose and fell slightly, and she finally spoke, "Don't... don't go to Cromwell for revenge..."
"Revenge...?" Su Zuo chewed on the word, and then looked really puzzled, "Why, Lang Xue, do you think I would go to Cromwell for revenge? Regardless of whether he has any grudge against me or not,
He is so strong, how could I be stupid enough to seek his death?"
Lang Xue would not easily believe Su Zuo's words. His lake-green eyes stared at Su Zuo tightly, his long eyelashes never blinking: "You will go... you will definitely go... so please
No...don't go...don't go...you will die..."
Listening to Lang Xue's inconsistent words, Su Zuo smiled brightly: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
Su Zuo tilted his head and gently rolled the corners of his eyes with his index finger: "Although it is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, but to be honest, ten years of revenge is meaningless. Revenge, if you really spend
If you take a long time to complete it, you will only find in the end that you can neither get anything from your enemy nor make up for the one you love. Gratitude and grudges will inevitably be in vain until the end. So don't worry
Okay, don't worry about me, I'm not that stupid."
Looking into Su Zuo's eyes, Lang Xue finally nodded. She could see that this was indeed Su Zuo's sincerity: "Then this is good -"
"But please remember: you feel sad because of what happened to her. But if you die, more people will feel sad. So you have to promise me that you will never go to Cromwell...
"
Leaning out, Lang Xue stretched out his hand to Su Zuo: "We have agreed that we will never seek revenge."
Listening to Lang Xue's words quietly, Su Zuo couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Lang Xue, who didn't even understand people's hearts at first, was now able to say such insightful and clear words.
He stretched out his hand and hooked up with Lang Xue: "We have agreed, I will never take the initiative to seek revenge from Cromwell."

PS: Ahem, no one would think that it was really over like yesterday, right?
