When Long Hanjiang quietly followed the Pitchfork team into the New Emerald Tree, Long Shiyin's body was silent in the tree hole. His left hand, which was pressed under him in an awkward posture, had corpse spots and the end of his little finger was broken. .A silver-black blood line connected the corpse to Long Hanjiang. When the rainbow-colored passage closed, the "Yin Duo" line hung from the air, holding Long Shiyin's finger from a distance.
"You promised not to use that kind of power." When Long Hanjiang turned into a ball of dirty blood containing the plague, the sunset was slowly setting from the western skyline of Beida Road. The rare sunny weather lasted all day. The heat turned into the dense mist of the ice sheet and evaporated, making the Dudelpant ruins behind him blurry. The steam blew the corners of the fur coat. Long Ji, dressed in black, said softly. She looked at Long Zun Jun's back, looking at the man she must call her father. The forbidden dragon technique on her body locked her blood, muscles and blood vessels, making it impossible for her to use any strength. She tried to escape many times but failed. .Long Ji gradually got used to the identity of a prisoner. She got used to watching indifferently as this man killed humans, beasts and elves without mercy.
When she was kidnapped by Long Zunjun in the Astrology Tower of Suiyang City in the Eastern Continent, Long Ji never imagined that things would develop so bizarrely. She always felt guilty towards the Long family, so she did not make any resistance. When Long Zunjun led him out of Suiyang City, she took the initiative to hand over the punishment token. She said frankly: "Dad, I will not shirk responsibility for Long Chang, nor will I evade the punishment of the execution hall. But please agree. I have one thing: If the Criminal Court opens the door to save my life, I hope to continue to hunt for Simeon Longchang across the continent with a sword until the day I kill him with my own hands and then return to the Long family mansion. The monastery faces the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. Never leave the sutra hall for even half a step."
"Hmm." Long Zunjun agreed vaguely. Intimidated by the majesty of the family leader, Long Ji didn't say another word. As Long Zunjun and the other five people left Nanshang Kingdom, they headed northeast, bypassing the clouds. Mengze entered the border of Later Qin. She did not leave any mark. Even though there were many opportunities to do so; she knew clearly that Pitchfork's partners would try to find her. But that would only increase the danger for their partners. The Long family is one of the ten most important countries in the East. The head of the seven families. One family, one city, one city and one country. It is not bound by secular laws and will not change due to changes in world affairs. The woman with a decisive and persevering personality showed her true identity while leaving behind the sword "Yaiyi" of the King of Assassins. Attitude: Your own karma will sow the fruits of your karma. All this can only be borne by yourself. No matter the loyal Knight of Rose or the partner who fights alongside Cherry Du, or even the young man with a pair of bright eyes, no one should be punished for his own fault. punish.
However, doubts inevitably arise. After entering the Later Qin Kingdom, what she saw and heard overturned the image of the contemporary head of the Long family in Long Ji's mind. Historically, the head of the Long family was not allowed to leave the mansion easily. He would not deliberately interact with a certain country or family. Make good friends. You cannot express your opinions at will, because the head of the family represents the strength and face of the ancient family. The ones who make decisions are actually the elders on crutches hidden behind the curtain.
But Long Zunjun is completely different. Long Ji has not returned to the mansion for many years. But she has also heard intermittently that the current head of the family likes to travel. When Long Ji is tracking the traces of Simeon Longchang in the Western Continent, Long Zunjun also He went to the West. No one knows what he did in the war-torn land. No one knows how he crossed the turbulent holy river twice.
There has been no war in the Eastern Continent for many years. A delicate balance is maintained between the six major countries. The borders between the Liang, Sui, and Later Qin countries are very long. Many wars in history have allowed the two countries to maintain considerable military strength near their borders.
The relationship between the Long family in the Liang and Sui Dynasties and the Mohist family in the Later Qin was far from being harmonious. From the moment the Mohists announced the expulsion of the Guild of Mathematics and Science Scholars and established the Brotherhood as the state religion, the Liang and Sui Dynasties unilaterally closed the pass to the Late Qin State. This performance
Be wary of strange neighbors. The Long family has been sending foreign envoys to various countries to collect information about the Brotherhood. Naturally, they would not miss such shocking news. The ruling Meng family royal family, as a vassal of the Long family, carried out the plan without hesitation.
A policy of isolation from the country.
But at this moment, the head of the Long family borrowed a road from the Southern Shang Kingdom to enter the Later Qin Dynasty. As soon as he entered the customs, he was grandly received by the people of the Later Qin Dynasty. He was protected by a Jinge cavalry and rushed to the capital Xuchang day and night. This was a strange situation.
Extremely. Long Ji couldn't help but feel suspicious. She found an opportunity to secretly ask: "Uncle Ying, what on earth is going on here."
What she was asking about was a shadow. Every generation of family head has a substitute. The shadow trained by the Shadow Sect from an early age has exactly the same appearance, body and voice as the family head. It usually lurks behind the family head and does not show its face. At critical moments, it can play the role of starting a family.
The role of the master. Let the real master escape calmly. The shadow of Long Zunjun's generation is a rare bloodline ability user. He can truly follow his shadow. No one has seen his true appearance for many years. When she was young, Long Ji liked to have nothing to do.
Chatting with the shadow for a few words. The uncle and nephew exchanged words across the air, and gradually became harmonious. Now, while Long Zunjun was sleeping soundly in the next room, Long Ji asked the shadow that was about to slip through the crack in the door.
"You will always understand, Nizi." The shadow left a confused sentence and disappeared into the light of the inn.
Three days later, an unexpected person told Long Ji the truth. That day, the group arrived at Xuchang, the capital of the Later Qin Dynasty. They entered this ancient city with thick walls and towering towers from the west gate. They rested at the State Guesthouse that night.
Long Zunjun took Long Hanjiang and Shadow to meet the king. The other two followers, Long Shidian and Long Shiyin, stayed behind at the post. The two were half-brothers. They trusted each other and had broad shoulders.
Long Shidian made a few simple arrangements and then went to the kitchen to arrange dinner. The handsome Long Shiyin closed the door, moved a chair and sat opposite Long Ji. He took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words on it with a pen.
What he wrote was: "Miss, don't be surprised. Don't say too much. You will be eavesdropped. Let me write for you to read."
Long Ji nodded unexpectedly.
Long Shiyin wrote: "My nephew was sent by the Shadow Sect. He came to the family head's side a few years ago. The elders suspected that the family head had connections with foreign countries and was plotting rebellion. But they couldn't find any basis. I sent my nephew to follow the family head and observe him.
Every move is rewarded regularly.”
At this time, Long Ji's hands and feet were locked by the white light belt of the Prisoner Dragon. She gathered her energy a little and summoned a skeletal right hand from another world. The skeletal hand stretched out from the space crack filled with purple mist. In the air
Making gestures, Long Shiyin nodded his head and wrote: "Exactly. I have been suspicious of the family head for a long time. If this matter is confirmed, the elders will immediately impeach the family head, elect a new generation of family head, and issue a 'break' order
Kill Mr. Long Zunjun. The young lady must know that the Brotherhood has suddenly emerged in the Eastern Continent in recent years. The Elders Council suspected that the head of the family was colluding with them. Now under the tense situation, they arrived at Xuchang City to meet with the Mo family. It seems that the matter is confirmed.
My nephew will immediately notify the Council of Elders and send out smart and capable executioners. I guess there will naturally be Shi Yue and Shi Yu. They will be killed after Mr. Zunjun leaves Xuchang City. The young lady has no involvement in this matter.
My nephew is responsible for ensuring the safety of the young lady. However, when the attack is launched, he must not help Mr. Zunjun against the executioner. Under the word 'break' order, there will be no mercy for killing."
Long Ji's horror was unspeakable. For a long time, she picked up a pen with a bone-white hand and wrote: "Then why did he arrest me in the name of the torture hall..."
"The execution hall has not taken back your executioner's token, miss." Long Shiyin replied: "This matter was arranged by Mr. Zunjun. Where exactly he is taking the miss, my nephew does not know."
At this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor. Long Shiyin immediately grabbed the paper and rubbed it gently. It immediately turned into a handful of light blue thin ash. He blew the ashes out of the window. Long Shidian opened the door and walked in: " Dinner is ready. The store will deliver it to the room later. Miss Long Ji must be hungry too. I will help you unlock the dragon trap later so that you can wash up and eat. But please don't run away. You can't escape without killing me. My enchanted...Shigyin talked about something with the lady."
"I don't dare to say anything. How dare I talk to Miss Long Ji." Long Shiyin turned his back and blinked secretly, then responded vaguely.
The group stayed in Xuchang City for a day and a half. During this period, Long Zunjun discussed with the Mo family and brothers. No one knew. When leaving Guanyi, Long Ji clearly felt that the atmosphere of the city had changed. On the streets It became deserted and no civilians could be seen. There were dense horseshoe marks on the bluestone road. The blowing north wind rolled up thin wine flags. There was no one in the tavern. Only the old woman selling wine was burning incense and praying to the statue of the god.
They left Xuchang City from the west gate and rode a carriage to the west. This time the carriage was simple and no one was escorting them. Xuchang was 580 miles away from Pingyin City, the capital of the Liang and Sui Dynasties. They passed through many empty and uninhabited areas. It was a good time for the Long family's executioners to make a move. But no ambush appeared as they waited. The car ran over the plank road day by day. Long Shiyin's tense expression never relaxed day by day. Until when he was approaching the border, Long Ji She saw that all the gates of the pass were open. Groups of Jinge cavalry with golden spears and red armor were galloping out of the border towards Liang and Sui. Only then did she learn the shocking news: the war had begun.
What happened next was like a nightmare. The killer sent by the Long family never showed up. Because the army came to the city, the thousand-year-old mansion was destroyed by the terrifying cursed land. Long Ji did not know that the king of assassins disappeared in another world for the sake of the ancient family. She She only felt an inexplicable pain in her chest. It was like an iron thorn being nailed to the tip of her heart. It left a drop of blood and turned into a scar. She thought it was the pain when she learned that the Long family mansion was destroyed. But she didn't know that The sharp pain came from the last meeting they missed. When Simion Longchang roared at the giant monster, the carriage she was riding in passed by thirty-five miles north of the Long family mansion. "Open "How about the sedan curtain?" She said at that time. She covered her chest and looked to the south. Across Yangping Mountain, she couldn't see the Long family mansion in Fengyunjihui. She could only see a group of dark clouds gathering at the foothills of the far south. Like a reluctant bird, it was too late to leave. Eyes that refuse to close.
