Long Sorrow Song - C64
Gongsun Yuxia’s eyes lit up and she continued, “After I almost destroyed the Kongtong Sect, he still wouldn’t let me see Lu Li. It was only yesterday when I threatened to kill him that he took me to the prison. And now, Lu Li.”
Gongsun Yu Xia could not continue and burst into tears.
Ye Mo could tell that Lu Li must have been tortured inhumanly. He couldn’t help but worry about Liu Yiyi. He said, “Are you sure that Liu Yiyi is also locked in that cell?”
Gongsun Yuxia nodded: “That secret cell is where our Gongsun family will escort all the criminals. After I brought Miss Liu back, I was directly ordered by him to be escorted to the secret prison. ”
“Where’s the secret cell, we’ll go right now.” Ye Yihan thought about how long he had been unconscious and how long it had been since Gongsun Yuxia had caught Liu Yiyi. He was afraid that if he left a little later, Liu Yiyi would be tortured and hurt a little more.
Gongsun Yuxia looked at Ye Mo Han in disbelief and asked: “You don’t doubt that what I said was true?”
“Even if it’s fake, I still want to give it a try.” Ye Mo Han had to give it a try because he knew that as long as Liu Yi Yi was in Gongsun Chun Qiu’s hands, Ye Mo Han would become a puppet. As long as it was a normal person, they wouldn’t want to be a puppet.
Everyone wished to control their own fate, but how many people in this world could control theirs?
Exiting the room, it was a long corridor. The murals on the walls were carved with ceremonies and customs of the Zhou Dynasty. Gongsun Yuxia quietly explained that the Gongsun family for generations to respect the Zhouli, and Confucius for the Gongsun family. Ye Chun Han thought it was funny. Gongsun Chun Qiu boasted of being the most important person in the world in terms of etiquette, but he did some shady things behind his back. The contrast between the two was really regrettable.
The entire corridor was about three miles long, but it was empty, which surprised even Ye Wen. Gongsun Yuxia explained: “This is the backyard, originally my mother’s place, without my brother’s order, no one else can come in. However, my brother will train here during his free time, so we have to be careful. ”
“Where is the secret cell?” Ye Mo Han was very concerned about this.
“The intersection of the backyard and the front yard. The entrance is in the front yard. There are heavy soldiers guarding the door. ” “Gongsun Yuxia was afraid that Ye Wen would retreat and say something else.” But don’t worry, I can bring you in, but we’ll have to rely on ourselves to get out. ”
The back gate of the Gongsun family was red in color and round in shape. Outside the courtyard gate was a long and long tunnel. After passing through the tunnel, one would find the secret dungeon that Gongsun Chun Qiu had used to imprison people. Before they could leave the corridor, they met two men in black clothing. When the two men saw Gongsun Yu Xia, they stood to the side and waited for Ye Mo Han and Gongsun Yuxia to walk far away before moving forward again.
Within a mile of the passage, there was a long square house. The house looked like it was made of a piece of black iron. Ye Wen could only see the door, but not the window. This long room was obviously an iron prison built specially for this purpose.
“Is this dungeon made of steel?” Ye Mo Han couldn’t help but ask.
“My grandpa spent more than twenty years collecting the toughest stones in the world and then asked tens of thousands of blacksmiths to pour the iron juice on them.” Gongsun Yuxia’s words were filled with pride. Ye Wen Han sighed and shook his head. He had no idea that her lover was still locked in this sturdy cell.
At the entrance of the prison, a row of eight people looked at Ye Mo Han warily. Their hands couldn’t help but touch the swords and sabers on their bodies.
Gongsun Yu said in a clear voice: “I am here to see Lu Li. This is Young Master Ye Mo Han. He is here with my brother’s permission. Open the gate.”
The eight of them looked at each other, not daring to disobey. Two of them took out a key from their clothes and inserted it into the iron door of the secret dungeon. With a ‘kacha’ sound, the iron gate of the secret dungeon was slowly pushed open. The iron gate was three feet thick, which showed how much the Gongsun family valued this secret dungeon.
As soon as Ye Wen stepped through the door, he felt a wave of moisture rush to his face. The light inside the cell wasn’t good so it was completely illuminated by the torches on both sides of the wall. The long rooms were divided into countless small cells, so they couldn’t meet each other. Each cell had a small door, allowing only one person to pass through. Usually, the prisoners’ food was passed through a small hole by the door. Above each cell door hung a red sign. On it were the names of the prisoners in black and white.
There was a small room on the left after he entered the cell door. There were two people inside, and they were the ones who possessed the keys to each cell and usually brought food to the prisoners. The two of them saw Gongsun Yuxia and didn’t dare to say more. They walked behind her on their own. Gongsun Yu Xia walked forward familiarly with Ye Mo Han following behind her. At the back, there were two people carrying many cell keys. With every step they took, the keys on their waists jingled non-stop.
After walking for a short while, Gongsun Yuxia suddenly stopped and said with a stern voice to the two people behind her, “Open it.”
Ye Mo looked up at the sign and saw the words’ Lu Li ‘on it. Perhaps it was because it had been for a long time, but the words were mottled.
One of them quickly found the key to the cell door and opened it. Ye Chanhan saw Lu Li, the man who Gongsun Yuxia had described as the most charming of them all – his eyes had been blinded and he was cowering in a corner. Both his legs were broken, and the old blood on his robe had dried and congealed.
“Lu Lang.” Gongsun Yuxia’s tone was intimate, and Ye Wen could not bear to look anymore. He turned his head away. Gongsun Yuxia continued: “Don’t be afraid, Lu Lang. I’m Xiao Yu. Today, I’m here to take you away.”
“Xiao Yu.” “If I can’t tell his handsome appearance from Lu Li’s face, then I can tell from his voice that he must be a gentle and affectionate man.” These days, you came to see me every day. The years I waited for you were finally worth it. ”
Ye Mo’s heart sank. Obviously, Lu Li didn’t want to leave with Gongsun Yuxia. Lu Li continued, “I am a cripple now. Your brother is right. Right now, I can only implicate you.”
Lu Li wanted to continue, but Gongsun Yuxia cut him off and said, “Don’t mention him. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be like this. We wouldn’t be like this as well.”
The two people with the keys knew that Gongsun Yuxia was going to take Lu Li. They gave her a wink and walked towards the exit. Ye Mo Han’s body flickered, and he appeared in front of the two of them. With both palms extended outwards, the two of them fainted before they could even make a sound. Ye Mo Han bent down to remove the keys from their bodies, and then turned to Gongsun Yu Xia: “We don’t have much time, we’ll take him with us.”
Gongsun Yuxia then recovered her wits and said to Lu Li in a soft voice, “I must take you somewhere that no one knows us. We will grow old together.”
Ignoring Lu Li’s resistance and struggle, Gongsun Yuxia carried Lu Li on her back, walked up to Ye Wen and pointed inside, saying, “Lady Liu is in the innermost cell.”
At this time, the people close to Lu Li in the cell heard that someone was trying to save a life so they pounded on the door to call for help. Word spread and soon the cell was noisy. Ye Mo Han didn’t care about anything else, he just took the key and went inside. When he got to the deepest part, he found a cell door closed, but there was no name written on the door. Ye Mo Han quickly took out the key and tried a dozen times before finding the key to the cell. When he opened the door, he saw a woman curled up in a corner crying loudly when she saw Ye Mo Han.
“How is this possible?” “” Gongsun Yuxia said incredulously. I clearly saw him bring Miss Liu in. ”
“Xiao Yu.” Lu Li sighed and said, “It seems that your brother has set his eyes on you again. He might be trying to test if you were here to save me.”
As Lu Li had said, Gongsun Chun Qiu didn’t stop Lu Li from visiting Gongsun Yuxia. He wanted to see if Gongsun Yuxia would still love him after he became a cripple. Gongsun Chun Qiu’s heart was so devious that no words could describe it. Ye Mo Han looked at the girl on the ground and asked, “Who are you?”
“I am just a little girl. Because I broke a vase, Master was so angry and sent me here.” Although she looked pitiful, she was nothing compared to Lu Li.
Ye Mo Han looked at Lu Li and Gongsun Yuxia and said, “Gongsun Chunqiu told you to see Liu Yiyi locked up here. He probably wanted to see if you and him were loyal or if you would betray him for Lu Li.”
“He did all these things to me. He should have known that our brother-sister relationship ended more than ten years ago.” Gongsun Yuxia harrumphed and left with Lu Li on her back.
A cold light suddenly shot towards Lu Li. Ye Mo Han casually raised the bunch of keys in his hand and threw a dagger to the ground with a “ding lang” sound. Then, a shadow flashed and the pitiful girl pounced on Lu Li. It was obvious that she wanted Lu Li’s life. However, when she reached out her hands and touched Lu Li’s clothes, she couldn’t move any further. Another set of rusty keys had been inserted into her back.
“You already guessed that I was going to kill him?” She strenuously turned her head, looking at Ye Mo Han in disbelief.
“If a girl was locked up here for breaking a vase, it would be a waste of the prison’s efforts to build it.” When Ye Mo Han came in and saw that it wasn’t Liu Yiyi, he was already suspicious. After hearing her say this, he realized that she must have been arranged by Gongsun Chun Qiu. Ye Shuihan was waiting to see if the person she wanted to kill was Lu Li or Gongsun Yuxia. Now that he had the answer, Gongsun Chun Qiu was still unwilling to hurt his sister. In this way, Ye Mo Han intended to use Gongsun Yu Xia as a hostage to exchange for Liu Yiyi. Although it was somewhat disgraceful, the situation was urgent, and Ye Mo Han couldn’t care less.
“Despicable.” Gongsun Yuxia turned around and kicked her in the chest. That girl’s back hit the wall and she died immediately.
Ye Han led the way while Gongsun Yuxia carried Lu Li and walked towards the exit of the prison. The way there was a mess. Some were crying, some were cursing, some were begging. The door to the cell was not locked. Instead, it was wide open.
Outside the prison gates, Gongsun Chun Qiu and his subordinates were all there. He raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he was resting. When the three of them came out, he opened his eyes, stared at Ye Mo and said: “I thought you wouldn’t come out here to take a look at this muddy water.”
“Sometimes I like to fish in troubled waters.” Ye Mo Han raised his head to look at the sky. He realized that the sky was especially blue today, as if it had just been washed away by water. He couldn’t help but become happy.
“There are three hundred and sixty-eight people here. They are the people with the highest martial arts skills in my Gongsun family, and half of them are first-rate experts in the martial arts world. “Lord Ye, how confident are you in fighting them?” Gongsun Chun Qiu pointed to his subordinates behind him and said, “Just as we agreed, we will join hands to deal with our common enemy. Miss Liu, I will take care of it for you.”
Gongsun Yuxia sneered and said disdainfully: “If I remember correctly, when you wanted me to marry Uncle Dan, you said that you would treat my Lu Lang well. “The result is just like this.”
“Shut up!” Gongsun Chun Qiu said angrily. “Who does he think he is? How could he match up to our Gongsun family’s background?”
Lu Li leaned on Gongsun Yuxia’s back. Hearing Gongsun Chun Qiu’s words, he smiled helplessly. His smile was filled with sorrow and helplessness.
“Mr. Gongsun.” Ye Mo pointed at Gongsun Yu Xia and said, “” She is your blood sister. No matter how unhappy you are with the person she likes, you don’t have to use this method to torture him, right? ”
Gongsun Chun Qiu said disdainfully, “I am her elder brother, so I naturally have the right to choose her husband. “Lord Ye, we are in the Gongsun family. Please leave. No one will stop you here.”
“Gongsun Chun Qiu.” Gongsun Yuxia gently put Lu Li down and walked towards Gongsun Chun Qiu. Are you really not going to let us go? ”
“I have let Lu Li live until now because of our friendship as brother and sister. But you insisted on saving him, so he must die. This was all your doing.” Gongsun Chun Qiu didn’t even glance at Gongsun Yuxia.
“Alright.” Gongsun Yuxia then walked to Gongsun Chunqiu’s back, standing half a meter away from him as she guarded the prison. Gongsun Yuxia suddenly jumped into the group of eight. Taking advantage of one of them being caught off guard, she unsheathed her saber with a ‘whoosh’. Gongsun Yuxia then walked back to Lu Li.
Ye Wen felt a chill run down his spine. He had a faint feeling that Gongsun Yuxia was about to do something unexpected. Just as this thought appeared in her mind, a blood-red light flashed. Accompanying the shocked cries of the crowd, Gongsun Yuxia’s left arm had already been cut off by herself.
Blood dripped to the ground, converging into thin streams. The blood flow spread and intertwined, forming into small blood dragons. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they changed their shapes on the ground, as if mocking everyone present.
Lu Li smelled the stench of blood in the air, and heard the exclamations of the crowd. He knew something was wrong with Gongsun Yuxia, so he fumbled around in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and touched the blood on the ground. Lu Li said hoarsely, “Xiao Yu, what are you doing?”
He then turned to Gongsun Chun Qiu and said, “Mr. Gongsun, don’t make things difficult for Xiaoyu. She’s your blood sister. If you want my life, I can give it to you right now.”
Gongsun Yuxia’s face was pale. She reluctantly pulled Lu Li into her embrace and used all her strength to shout, “Lu Lang, don’t beg him. This arm of mine is proof that it has nothing to do with the Gongsun family. ”
The two of them embraced each other, and Gongsun Yuxia said something like that, causing everyone present to be moved. Ye Chanhan hurried forward and pressed a few acupoints on Gongsun Yuxia’s body. A sincere admiration for her rose in his heart, as if a woman like her had not only been married off to Uncle Yan for more than ten years, but had also unhesitatingly broken an arm with her brother. This kind of woman was a hundred times stronger than the conceited and chivalrous men of the martial world. Ye Mo Han suddenly remembered that he was going to use her as a hostage in exchange for Liu Yi Yi. He couldn’t help but feel ashamed of himself.
Gongsun Chun Qiu heaved a long sigh. “Since you no longer have any relationship with the Gongsun family, then I don’t need to worry about our brotherly feelings anymore.”
