Chapter 26 Caught in prison
The autumn wind was so cold that it fell into the teenager's neck, and the rusty machete was next to his face. An Bochen's heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly retreated back. He pulled the "unprepared" tiger-toothed teenager back two steps and took a deep breath, regardless of whether he was facing Huo Guogong.
"The Duke of the country had misunderstood before that it had nothing to do with the death of the prince. It was actually the work of King Wu Xiner. Bochen was only a servant, even if he wanted to avenge the prince. Taking advantage of the fake prince to hide in Moyun Tower, Bo Chen is indeed selfish, but he will never do anything that harms people and destroys the people, nor will it harm the interests of the Duke. On the contrary, if Mr. Li really dies, it will do all kinds of harm and no benefit to the Lord. If a fake Mr. Li continues to sit high in the Moyun Tower and everything is as usual and taken care of by Bo Chen, will it not be the best of both worlds?
Although An Bochen was nervous, what he said was methodical and concise. He heard that the Duke of Huo nodded repeatedly and looked at the strange color in An Bochen's eyes.
Seeing this, An Bochen only said that Duke Huo changed his mind. He was slightly happy and looked forward to the silent old man.
But in an instant, his heart fell to the bottom again, and his whole body fell into an ice cave.
"Indeed, Mr. Li can't die. However, you have to die."
When the words fell, Duke Huo's face was cold and no longer kept his hand. The sword carrying his decades of tiger and wolf achievements was fiercely cut down!
After all, I still failed to convince him.
The corners of his mouth were bitter, and An Bochen's heart was like ashes. He only felt that his whole body was drained in an instant. He didn't want to see the tragic situation before his death, so he closed his eyes.
After waiting for a long time, An Bochen didn't wait for the knife to end his life.
In the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, the teenager in single clothes opened his arms and blushed, blocking in front of An Bochen. At half an inch of his forehead, it was a long rusty knife. Don't kill him, Grandpa!"
Grandpa?
An Bochen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.
The Duke of Huo was a loyal martyr. His four sons and two sons-in-law were killed in the south, and his daughter was also killed by her husband. However, two grandchildren stayed in the southern battlefield, but he had never heard of a grandson in the Duke of Huo's mansion.
The two conspicuous tiger teeth of the teenager involuntarily floated in his mind. An Bochen was slightly stunned and then woke up.
Bottomless hole... No wonder... Simajin said that the bottomless cave is not tolerated by the princes. Even if he is as high and powerful as the Duke of Huo, it is difficult to protect his handsome grandson, so he does not inform others and hides it in the backyard of the Duke's mansion. No wonder his face is pale. I think he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, and he can only come out at night.
"Grandpa has always listened to what Yun'er asked Yun'er to do. He never begged Grandpa. Yun'er only asked Grandpa for this time... Let him go."
The young man's firm voice came, and a trace of warmth appeared in An Bochen's heart, and his eyes also showed gratitude.
Duke Huo didn't say anything, but just looked at his grandson with a complicated look.
At this moment, a meteor fell from the sky, crossed hundreds of cities in Liu, and fell straight into the suburbs of Beijing.
At this moment, An Bochen obviously felt that Huo Guogong's arm trembled slightly, and an unconcealed surprise flashed in his eyes.
His heart fluttered and jumped. An Bochen gasped and saw the Duke of Huo slowly withdrawing the long knife and inserting it into the sheath.
"Look at Yun'er's face, I won't kill you. Take Mr. Li and let's go."
Somehow, when he heard Huo Guo's public mouth again, An Bochen only felt that his tone was a little tired and a trace of unexplained relaxation.
However, An Bochen had no time to think about this. His heart was full of ecstasy. He not only saved his life, but also succeeded in getting back the "Li Gongzi". Although the process was thrilling, the ending was much easier than he thought.
"Thank you, Lord."
He respectfully saluted the Duke of Huo and looked gratefully at the teenager who was also full of joy. An Bochen was about to ask for "Li Gongzi", so he listened to the Duke of Huo's follow-on.
"From tomorrow, you will have to come to our government at midnight to practice boxing with Yun'er."
“...... Yes."
An Bochen thought for a moment and answered.
At this moment, Duke Huo suddenly stretched out his index finger and drew a circle in mid-air. He read a word in his mouth. In a blink of an eye, a circle of white fire ignited, and actually burned a hole in the void. The hole was dark, and in the blink of an eye, a palm-sized white crane flew out of it, with a Taoist charm in its mouth.
An Bochen stared at it and was surprised to find that the "white crane" was not a real white crane, but a paper crane.
It's not Fu Yao... That must be the legendary Taoism. In the past, I thought that only those monks could do it, but I didn't expect that Duke Huo could also do Taoism.
The color of envy floated in his eyes. As soon as he stepped on the road of practice, An Bochen was itchy. He thought that when he returned to Moyun Tower, he would definitely ask Sima Jin for advice on how to practice Taoism.
"Although Yun'er believes in you, I don't trust you very much. This shrinking charm can temporarily seal your range of movement. If you don't unseal it, you won't be able to leave Liujing in your life.
The next moment, there was a tingling pain in the head, and the Taoist charm flew into An Bochen's forehead.
His body trembled. In an instant, An Bochen only felt that the sky was spinning, as if he were on the top of the clouds, and the scene of heaven and earth was in his eyes. From far to near, it shrinks heavily, crossed the sea, came to the Da Kuang Dynasty, continued to shrink, crossed Yuanjing Village, and finally, the only place An Bochen could feel was Liujing.
This feeling is extremely strange and difficult to understand. It seems that there is only Liujing left in An Bochen's world, and it is like a cage, imprisoning An Bochen in it. Even if he knows that there is still heaven and earth outside Liujing, he is unable to get out.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and An Bochen looked at Duke Huo in a dain, and said with difficulty for a long time.
"Since Bo Chen has agreed, he will definitely keep his promise and hope the Duke..."
"No need to say, I have made up my mind. This charm isrelated to my life. Even the Tianpin monk can't untie it, unless... You can cultivate a green fire, but with your current cultivation, even if there is an adventure, it will take at least more than ten years.
Looking at An Bochen, Duke Huo said meaningfully, paused and pointed to the front hall.
"The Prince Li is there. You can go by yourself."
After saying that, Duke Huo stood with his hands on his hands and said no more.
With a pale face, An Bochen bent down, the flood in his left eye, the fire in his right eye, and the water and fire went straight to the forehead uncontrollably, trying to break through the shackles of the Taoist charm. But as soon as he rushed to Dantian on his forehead, An Bochen only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he was dizzy again. In a blink of an eye, the water and fire retreated, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and withdrew the two acupuncture points of Dantian Shenque and Mingmen.
Raising his head, An Bochen's face stiffened, smiled at the apologetic teenager, and then turned away.
"Why?"
After An Bochen left, the Huya teenager asked Duke Huo with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn't Yuner want to find someone to practice boxing with you? What's wrong? Grandpa helped you, but you're not willing to get up."
Touching the teenager's head, Duke Huo's cold face finally bloomed with a trace of tenderness and whispered.
"But I don't want to..."
"Yun'er, that's a six-grade Taoist charm, which is worth a lot. If it's someone else, Grandpa can at most be banned. How can he waste a six-grade Taoist charm?"
Duke Huo said meaningfully. Seeing the teenager's suspicious face, he did not explain. He turned around and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
With his back to the young man, the Duke of Huo's face gradually became cold, and the sky was shining, while he lowered his head and looked at the soles of his feet. I didn't know what he was thinking.
He still remembers that more than 70 years ago, when he first joined the army, a stranger met a person. After reading his face, the Taoist man left four words. Regardless of whether he believed it or not, he turned around and laughed.
Enter the forest and rise, and go south to mourn. If there is a rebellion, the star will fall and be defeated.
The first sentence was in line with his battle to become famous, but at that time, the high-spirited Duke of Huo did not believe it. It was not until after middle age that he led a large army to the south. Not only did the results of the war not show, but he broke his four sons and two sons and two sons-in-law. After resigning and returning to hiding, Duke Huo fell in love with Taoism and gradually mastered a few rough and shallow Taoism, but he still couldn't figure out the four words. Later, it was the tragic battle of "walking Liujing through the night, the first achievement in the ages". After the First World War, the Duke of Huo became an official again.
Since then, Duke Huo has been convinced of the four words, and has also visited many monks. He has not gained anything if he wants to solve the mystery in the last sentence. However, a monk said to him that his eyebrows were thick and he was dark and evil. If he didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, there would be a day when he just broke it suddenly, but Duke Huo was always reluctant to give up.
"The star fall will be defeated, the star fall will be defeated..."
He muttered, and never changed his color after decades of ups and downs, but at this time, a trace of bitterness floated from the corners of the old man's mouth.
"Now I can't afford to lose."
......
As dawn approached, the morning light flowed through the window lattice, and the wind bells rang. The girl stretched out and slowly opened her eyes.
What fell into her eyes was a pair of straight triangular eyes.
Sima Jin was stunned and suddenly changed his color. He picked up the brocade and wrapped it around his body and jumped off the bed.
"Xiao Hou?"
After staying in Moyun Tower for more than five days, how could Simajin not know this strange housekeeper in ancient times? After the initial panic, Simajin calmed down, suddenly turned his mind, and vaguely sensed that it was a little bad.
"This lady slept well."
Xiao Hou looked at Sima Jin with an unusual "friendly" look, but his appearance was pale. Even if he wanted to pretend to be kind, he fell into Sima Jin's eyes, but he looked extremely strange.
"I don't know who the lady is?"
"Where's An Bochen?"
Simajin was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Hou, so he asked.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiao Hou was not angry, and said quietly.
"The boy volunteered to go to the Duke of Huo last night and wanted to leave the prince back. Tut, where do you think he is now?"
Hearing the words, Sima Jin frowned, looked deeply at Xiao Hou, and said for a long time.
"So you already knew it."
While talking, her hand was behind her and she secretly pinched a Taoist seal. But before she could recite the spell, Xiao Hou stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"Your little lover has probably been cut in half. If you know each other, cooperate with me..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stagnated.
