Han Jiulin followed the sound and walked a few steps when he saw a white-haired old man who was tightly locked with more than twenty chains. He lowered his head and kept calling his name.
He and Nangong Yuling were suspected of killing Nangong Ningyan, but their hands and feet were only chained by two chains, but this old man was chained by more than twenty chains. There is no doubt that he is an important person imprisoned in the Demon Sect.
Prisoner.
The old man was extremely skinny, his whole body had almost shrunk, and his clothes were in tatters. However, after looking carefully, Han Jiulin recognized the old and rotten clothes as official uniforms of the Canglan Empire.
And it is the unique official uniform of high-ranking generals in the Canglan Empire.
"Who are you?
Why did you say my name?"
Han Jiulin asked the old man.
Every prison in the Demon Sect's dungeon is sealed by an extremely thick black steel wall and the black steel giants. This old man can actually hear the conversation between Han Jiulin and Nangong Yuling through the extremely thick black steel wall.
During the conversation, it was obvious that his own cultivation was extremely profound.
The old man reluctantly raised his head and looked at Han Jiulin, then said to Han Jiulin in a hoarse voice:
"It looks like, it really looks like...your surname is Han, you must be from the Qinglong Palace, right?"
Is your father Han Hongyi from Qinglong Palace, and your mother Nangong Ziyu?"
"good.
Who is the senior?"
Han Jiulin asked.
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, if you calculate carefully, you should be this old. It's just that when your father told me to give you a name, it was Han Yu. When I heard you called Han Jiulin, I was still
I didn’t react for a moment.”
"If you hadn't looked so much like your father, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you.
But that doesn’t matter, how are your parents doing now?"
In Sun Luhe's memory, Han Hongyi's son was originally supposed to be called Han Yu, so when he heard Han Jiulin's name before, he couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated whether to speak to him.
But he had been imprisoned in the Demon Sect dungeon for eleven full years. He finally waited for a young man named Han. He thought that even if he was not Han Hongyi's son, he might be a descendant of Prince Qinglong's palace. He held on to a glimmer of hope.
Finally, he called Han Jiulin's name.
It was precisely for this reason that Sun Luhe never missed this only opportunity to meet Han Jiulin.
Han Jiulin shook his head and said: "The two of them were sentenced to death by Emperor Canglan eleven years ago."
"Eleven years ago?
What is the crime that Your Majesty sentenced them to death for?"
The old man seemed to become excited after hearing the words "eleven years ago", and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Although Han Jiulin knew that his time was very tight at the moment, but for some reason, he always had an inexplicable intuition about this old man and felt that he could bring some key information to the murder case eleven years ago.
"The crime that Emperor Canglan sentenced my parents to death was because he believed that my father had colluded with the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect to betray the empire's intelligence, causing the 800,000-strong imperial army to be annihilated at Black Dragon Cliff."
Han Jiulin said.
"Eleven years... Sure enough, eleven years have passed..." After hearing what Han Jiulin said, the old man suddenly became even more excited. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't squeeze out any water from his body, he would have burst into tears at this moment.
Cross current.
"Could it be that you, senior, also participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect eleven years ago?"
Han Jiulin asked.
"Eleven years ago, your father Han Hongyi held the seal of commander of the three armies. In addition to Meng Haoran, there were two left and right generals under his command, and I was his left general Sun Luhe."
The old man nodded and said.
Han Jiulin couldn't help but look happy when he heard this. Then he immediately took out the Confucius Ling from the Qiankun Gourd and said to Sun Luhe:
"Senior, Han Jiulin has asked his master to order Emperor Canglan to order a re-investigation of the murder case. This is exactly why Han Jiulin came to Black Dragon Cliff. I hope senior can help."
After Han Jiulin finished speaking, he looked at the chains on the old man's body, and then summoned the World-Destroying Demonic Sword. He raised his hand to cut off the chains and rescue the senior Sun from Black Dragon Cliff.
"Don't."
Sun Luhe looked at Han Jiulin and started to stop him, and then continued: "My body is exhausted and I won't live much longer. If you cut off this chain, the force of the shock coming from the chain will hasten my death.
"
"Being able to see the blood of his old friend again when his life is about to come to an end, Sun Luhe has nothing more to ask for and is completely satisfied."
At this moment, the Sky-Swallowing Demon Marten in Han Jiulin's body suddenly said: "He is right, this old man's life essence has almost reached the point where the oil has dried up, and he only relies on his own cultivation and strong willpower to sustain him.
Now."
"If you, Master, rashly cut off the chains on his body with the World-Destroying Sword, you will probably cut off his last glimmer of hope."
After hearing the words of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Marten, Han Jiulin was unwilling to do so. He finally found a witness to the murder, but was unable to take him away from the Black Dragon Cliff. However, he still took the World-Destroying Demon Sword into his dantian.
This old man has endured too much pain that he should not have endured. How could Han Jiulin bear to cut off his last glimmer of hope for his own selfishness?
Even if it was to bring down Meng Haoran, he would never make such a decision.
Sun Luhe was extremely weak at this time. He looked at Han Jiulin and said:
"It is definitely not your father who betrayed the imperial army. What kind of person your father is, I, Sun Luhe, dare to guarantee it with my life! In fact, now that I think about it, this matter is extremely strange."
"Although your father was indeed a hero of the generation, in terms of qualifications and merits, there are many people who are qualified to be the commander of the 800,000-strong army, not to mention that your mother was once a saint of the Demon Cult."
"Originally, no matter what angle you look at, the position of commander of this 800,000-strong army should not have fallen on your father.
But His Majesty is obsessed with appointing your father to be the commander-in-chief of this demon-killing army, haha..."
"Your father naturally knows that the position of Grand Marshal is not a blessing, but a heavy responsibility. If you make a wrong move, your Qinglong Palace will be in catastrophe. Under such circumstances, how could your father risk the Qinglong Palace being betrayed by the nine clans?
Army intelligence?"
"This is not only impossible, but also extremely ridiculous! Jiulin... If you want to find out the truth about that year, you might as well start with two people. The first one is Meng Haoran, who caused the entire 800,000-strong army to
If it was destroyed, this guy must be involved!"
Han Jiulin said: "Senior Sun, I have known Meng Haoran's true identity for a long time, but unfortunately he is now the Feihong Marquis of the Empire, and is the most valued confidant of Emperor Canglan. It is really difficult to find out about him. I don't know what Senior wants.
