Qin Junshi was also looking at the colorful spiritual light in the distance from the Guantian Tower of the Lord's Mansion at this moment, with a numb expression and calm eyes. He had witnessed this scene countless times and had no feeling anymore. He still remembered the first time he saw the spiritual light.
Such a shock. At that time, his family was still around and he was still happy.
family?
When a person goes through a life like this, his family is no longer so important in his heart. Day after day, year after year, the heart of a person who does not belong here will never be here.
Qin Junshi picked up the crystal cup and took a sip of ice wine. Only the anesthesia of alcohol could make him feel more comfortable and make him feel some of the warmth of being a human being.
"Lord City Lord, Mr. Gu is here!"
Qin Junshi nodded. Gu Chenyu was the only person who could come to see him directly without making an appointment. They were once husband and wife and relatives, but soon after arriving in Netherworld Ruins, they became strangers and even enemies.
Gu Chenyu came to Qin Junshi and couldn't help but frowned when he saw him half drunk and half awake.
"Coming?" Qin Junshi greeted.
Gu Chenyu said: "You are living a comfortable life!"
Qin Junshi said: "Drunken life and dreaming of death, you can just muddle along."
"You were not like this when you first came here."
"You are not like this. We were already dead back then." Qin Junshi poured a glass of wine and handed it to Gu Chenyu. Gu Chenyu didn't take it and walked towards the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the colorful aura in the distance.
Qin Junshi drank the glass of wine and heard Gu Chenyu whisper: "Do you still remember when we first came here and saw the colorful aura?"
"Remember... Lushan was still there at that time..."
"Shut up! I don't allow you to mention his name!" Gu Chenyu turned around angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire. This was a scar in her heart that could never be healed and was still dripping with blood.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Junshi's lips, and he poured another glass of wine.
Gu Chenyu said: "You don't care, you don't feel heartbroken, you Qin family are all the same, selfish! Cold-blooded and ruthless!"
Qin Junshi took a sip of wine and said, "I no longer consider myself a member of the Qin family. Lushan is my son. How can I not care?"
"The reason why you care is because you have lost the ability to have children. In the past few hundred years, you have never had a woman around you. It's a pity that none of them can carry on your family line! You, like this lifeless spiritual ruins, have no
Hope, there is no future!" Gu Chenyu mocked.
Qin Junshi said: "For a person whose life can last for three thousand years, carrying on the family line is not that important at all."
"What's the point of living forever even if you live like a zombie?"
Qin Junshi sighed. His life kept repeating. For him, there was no difference between life and death. He slowly put down the wine glass: "You came to see me today, didn't you just want to tell me these words?"
Gu Chenyu said: "Did you know that the Deep Well Teleportation Array sent three people?"
"I've heard a little bit about it, but what's the difference? I can't leave anyway."
Gu Chenyu gritted his teeth and said, "You really don't care about anything. Did Qin Luzhu tell you that one of them is Chu Canghai's son Chu Jianghe?"
Chu Jianghe looked at the old man in front of him. This old man was obviously Xiao Hongying's grandfather. It was he who sneaked into the dungeon of Black Stone Castle and rescued him.
Chu Jianghe had already suffered a lot of torture when he was in the dungeon. If it weren't for the old man's help, he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the dungeon independently. The wounds on his body had been treated with medicine. The old man handed him a bowl of water, and Chu Jianghe took the bowl of water.
After finishing the drink, the old man helped him sit against the wall and whispered: "Don't worry, we have left Guangming City and they can't find you."
Chu Jianghe nodded: "Xiao Hongying..."
A rare smile appeared on the old man's cold face: "She is fine, please worry. She was rescued by your friend and is currently in the Lord's Mansion."
Chu Jianghe felt relieved and said, "Thank you so much. I don't know what to call you."
"My surname is Sun, you can call me Lao Suntou."
Chu Jianghe drank the bowl of water: "Uncle Sun, who is the owner of Black Stone Castle? Why is he so lawless?"
Old Suntou sneered and said: "Gu Chenyu, she is the lord's wife. She relies on the lord to support her and does all kinds of evil. Many members of our Chongmu clan have been enslaved and sold by her."
Chu Jianghe said: "Uncle Sun, don't worry, after I recover from my injury, I will go to the Lord's Mansion to help you rescue Little Hongying."
Lao Suntou shook his head and said: "No need, even if she is by my side, I can't protect her, and your situation is also very troublesome."
Chu Jianghe sighed and said: "I really don't understand. Gu Chenyu and I have no grudges, why would she target me?"
Lao Suntou said: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. We, the Zhongmu clan, abide by our duties and stay aloof from the world, but in the end we still become the target of conspiracy and calculation by all parties. The word ambition can make people become demons.
"
Chu Jianghe fell silent. The torture at Blackstone Castle had seriously injured him, and it might take a few days to fully recover. He still wanted to find Zhang Chi. If General Feifeng was Qin Luzhu, maybe she could help them leave the Netherworld.
Ruins.
Lao Suntou said: "You should settle down and recuperate first, and then make plans after the injury is healed."
Chu Jianghe said: "Who is the Lord of Guangming City?"
"I only know that his surname is Qin, but I don't know the rest."
Chujiang Hedao: "Is the Qin family the most powerful clan on the Luofu Plain?"
Lao Suntou said disdainfully: "They are short-sighted people who don't even understand such a simple truth as lips and teeth. If the Black Moon clan and the Shanman clan destroy our Chongmu clan, the next target will be the Qin clan. All the tribes in the Northern Wilderness have long wanted to
Do you think the Qin family can take care of themselves by taking the Luofu Plain as their own?"
Chu Jianghe had heard about the internal situation of Netherworld Ruins, but he didn't care. The biggest wish in his heart now was to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, find Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu, and leave here through Qin Luzhu.
When Zhang Chi returned to his residence, Ji Chang came out cheerfully and said to him: "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations for what?"
"Congratulations on your engagement to General Feifeng!"
Zhang Chi glared at Ji Chang: "If it wasn't for you, how could it have caused so much trouble?"
Ji Chang complained endlessly: "What does this matter have to do with me? Then Huangfu Xiong doesn't recognize me at all."
Zhang Chi said: "Where is Little Hongying?"
Ji Chang pointed to his room and said, "Go to your room and sleep."
Immortal Zhang said in astonishment: "Go to my room?"
Ji Chang said: "Your room is spacious. She sleeps in it and you sleep outside to ensure safety. How dare you, a big boy, be afraid of a little girl?"
Zhang Chi went to the room to take a look and found that Xiao Hongying was already asleep, with a teardrop hanging on her face, and he and Ji Chang quietly left.
Ji Chang said: "She is thinking about Chu Jianghe."
Zhang Chi said: "I don't know where Chu Jianghe went. I hope he is safe and sound."
Ji Chang inquired carefully: "The atmosphere at today's banquet is a bit unusual. That Huangfu Xiong is very arrogant. Although General Feifeng recognizes you as his fiancé in public, it may not be a good thing for you."
"You also know?"
Ji Chang sighed and said: "I watched from the side and everything was clear. I was worried that you would be implicated because of General Feifeng's matter."
"I really can't tell that you still care about me."
"Now that we are all here, we are both prosperous and devastated. Of course I hope you are safe and well." After Ji Chang finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, does General Feifeng know how to leave here and return to where we were?"
Where to go?”
Zhang Chi said: "How could she know?"
Ji Chang chuckled and said: "You don't have to hide it from me. I actually already understand that Guangming City and even the entire Luofu Plain belong to the Qin family. If I guess correctly, the lord here belongs to the former director of the Bureau of Mysteries and Secrets, Mr. Qin."
One of his sons, General Feifeng, is Qin Luzhu."
Zhang Chi said: "You know so much, are you not afraid of being silenced?"
Ji Chang said: "You know better."
In a blink of an eye, the three-day period agreed with Gu Chenyu had come. There was no response from Gu Chenyu. At noon that day, the lord held a banquet in the mansion for Zhang Chi, Ji Chang and his party. Qin Luzhu came personally to inform Zhang Chi that this time
things.
Of course the lord had to give face when treating guests, not to mention that Zhang Chi had long wanted to meet Mr. Qin's second son Qin Junshi.
Before Qin Luzhu and Zhang Chi entered the banquet hall, they whispered to him: "The lord wants to ask you what happened between us. Do you know what to say?"
Zhang Chi asked knowingly: "How do you say it?"
Qin Luzhu's pretty face turned hot and she spat: "Stop pretending to be confused with me. Just say that I am your fiancée and that you and I have already made a private commitment for life."
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Understood, I told him that the two of us have been married for a long time, and we lived together as unmarried when we were outside."
Although Qin Luzhu was a bit older than him, she couldn't compare to this old man emotionally. Her pretty face turned red to the root of her neck, and she whispered: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Zhang Daxian said: "If I didn't say that, how could he believe it? Did Huangfu Xiong come to propose marriage?"
When mentioning Huangfu Xiong, Qin Luzhu suddenly turned cold and snorted: "This person is so abominable that he actually made a marriage contract a condition for the alliance between the two cities."
Zhang Chi said: "The lord is not afraid of them, right?"
Qin Luzhu said: "In short, follow our agreement and never give him a chance."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "What if the lord asks you and me to get married to show him? Aren't the two of us going to make the lie come true?"
Qin Luzhu said: "Take a step and see what happens."
Several people came to the banquet hall. Zhang Chi saw Qin Junshi for the first time. He thought that Qin Junshi, who had been in Netherworld for more than 600 years, had already cultivated into an immortal old demon, but he looked like he was only in his forties.
The outline of his facial features can reveal some of Mr. Qin’s character.
Qin Luzhu introduced Zhang Chi and Ji Chang to Qin Junshi.
Qin Junshi smiled and said, "Didn't you say there is another one?"
Zhang Chi bowed to Qin Jun and said, "Lord, there is another one who was captured by Mr. Gu from Black Stone Castle." Anyway, Qin Jun and Gu Chenyu are a couple, so tell him and see if he cares.
Qin Junshi smiled calmly and invited them to sit down and drink tea first.
Ji Chang hung his head and looked very cautious, not daring to look at Qin Junshi. Qin Junshi never glanced at Ji Chang from beginning to end. Qin Luzhu felt a little strange. Did they know each other before?
Qin Junshi picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "I invite you here today, firstly to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust, and secondly, to understand some things." He glanced at Qin Luzhu, then smiled at Zhang Chi and said: "I listen.
You said that you and Lu Zhu had already made a lifelong commitment? When did it happen?"
Qin Luzhu's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head, but Ye Ying, who was standing behind her, stared at Zhang Chi.
Before entering the house, Qin Luzhu had already vaccinated Zhang Chi, so he was fully prepared and said calmly: "It's a long story. We were in a relationship when we were outside, and we dated for a year.
We originally agreed to get married in a few years, but Luzhu suddenly told me that she would leave for three years, and did not tell me her specific whereabouts." At this point, Qin Luzhu glanced at Qin Luzhu.
There was a bit of unconcealable tenderness in Green Bamboo's beautiful eyes.
Immortal Zhang was startled. Qin Luzhu could not have lied to her. It is very possible. She has lived alone in Netherworld Ruins for eight years. She has never seen such an outstanding man like me. Although I have been in love in the past.
Life is a bit rich, but in Netherworld Ruins, I am just a blank piece of paper with no owner. The chance of leaving now is slim. The only thing I know is that in eighty-two years, someone will come to pick up Qin Luzhu. I really want to stay here for eight years.
In twelve years, it is estimated that several generations of people have been born.
Qin Luzhu is 80% in love, and being idle is also idle, so lonely! The idea of being near the water, first served, is perfectly normal. If you think about it from another perspective, you have just arrived. If you really want to stay here for 82 years,
I may not be able to keep my will. How can there be pure friendship between men and women? As the years go by, the noble revolutionary sentiments will disappear in the end, and only one word may be left.
Qin Junshi smiled and said: "So, the reason why you came to Netherworld Ruins is to find Green Bamboo?"
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Yes!"
Qin Luzhu secretly sighed in his heart, liar! You lied without blinking an eye. This is not what you told me. If you really come to find me, are you still in a hurry to leave?
Qin Junshi looked at Qin Luzhu again and said, "Zhang Chi is really affectionate and loyal to you."
Qin Luzhu looked a little shy, but this was not a disguise. He whispered: "I didn't expect him to find this place."
Behind her, Ye Ying saw her hatred for Zhang Chi growing even stronger.
Ji Chang drooped his head and held the tea cup with both hands. His hands were shaking a little. Qin Luzhu noticed the subtle changes in Ji Chang and was secretly surprised. What happened to Ji Chang? Why was he so abnormal?
Qin Junshi said: "The poor blue sky and the yellow spring are falling. I thought that this kind of emotion could only be found in poetry, but I didn't expect that it was by my side." He looked at Qin Luzhu and said: "Luzhu, I am really happy for you.
But the conversation suddenly changed: "But do you know that once you come to Netherworld Ruins, you will never be able to leave, and you will never be able to return to your original life? Is it worth it for a relationship?"
Zhang Chi nodded without hesitation and said: "It's worth it! I'm willing to do anything for Green Bamboo!"
Although Qin Luzhu knew it was fake, she still felt extremely grateful. This was the first time in her life that someone had said such words in front of her. Thinking of her encounter with Zhang Chi, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Qin Junshi nodded and said: "Very good! Very good! It's rare for someone to treat her like this. Seeing that you are so affectionate towards her, you must be willing to die for her?"
Zhang Chi was startled, what did Qin Junshi mean by this sentence?
Qin Luzhu also raised his head in surprise. Qin Junshi's expression remained unchanged, and the smile on his face completely disappeared at this moment. The teacup in Ji Chang's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his body fell limply to the ground.
Zhang Chi was startled and wanted to get up. He felt his hands and feet were sore and numb, and even the root of his tongue was numb when he wanted to speak.
Ye Yingying was also poisoned.
Qin Junshi threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, and dozens of golden-armored warriors rushed in from outside. They tied up Zhang Chi and Ji Chang.
Qin Luzhu didn't expect that such a change would happen. She stood up and prepared to rescue the three people, but Qin Junshi said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly."
Qin Luzhu saw the samurai drawing a sword and holding it at Zhang Chang's throat. She turned around slowly and glared at Qin Junshi with a pair of phoenix eyes: "What do you mean?"
Qin Junshi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to exit.
Qin Luzhu said angrily: "Let them go!"
Qin Junshi said: "It seems that you have forgotten your mission, and even more so your identity! The secrets of Netherworld Ruins must not be leaked, it is related to the honor of the Qin family!"
"Qin family? Do you still regard yourself as the Qin family in your heart?"
Qin Junshi clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes bursting with sorrowful light: "I wonder if Han, regardless of Wei and Jin, has anything to do with me outside? What does the Qin family have to do with me? This is Netherworld Ruins, and I am from Guangming City.
Lord."
"It's you who forget your mission, and you're the one who forgets your identity!" Qin Luzhu said loudly.
"Luzhu, although you are my niece, there are six hundred years between us. Not to mention you, even if your grandfather is standing in front of me at this moment, I will still say the same to him."
Qin Luzhu bit her lips, what she had been worried about finally happened.
"Don't worry, I won't kill Zhang Chi, but there is a prerequisite. You need to agree to Huangfu Xiong's marriage proposal from Stormwind City."
"No!" Qin Luzhu said firmly.
Qin Junshi said: "Of course you have the right to refuse, but if you dare to refuse, I will turn him into a eunuch. I will make his life worse than death, and I will make your life worse than death!"
Qin Luzhu said: "Why are you so afraid of Stormwind City? Even if they refuse to form an alliance, they are closer to the Netherworld. Once the Great Wall of Ice and Snow is broken and the Netherworld army marches straight in, don't they understand the truth of death? Where is your courage?
"
Qin Junshi shook his head: "I don't need to explain to you, all you can do is obey."
Qin Luzhu said: "Even if you choose to give in and form an alliance with the two Beihuang clans, it is just a temporary measure. The Black Moon clan and the Shanman clan are both tiger and wolf clans. Sooner or later, they will attack the Qin clan. I don't believe it.
You can't see that."
Qin Junshi murmured: "Qin family? The only real Qin family in Guangming City is you and me."
