Chapter 236: The Same Paper Kite
Su Ziluo sneered, half crouching on the ground.
"Jing Rong, I didn't expect you to do it in the end."
It was no surprise!
The masked man raised his sword and said, "Teacher Su, if you become a malicious spirit, don't blame Prince Rong. After all, you killed someone, so you must pay with your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man and the rest of the masked men aimed their swords at Su Ziluo and Li 'er.
Li 'er took advantage of the situation to pick up his sword and parried the incoming swords.
His skills were good, but his hands couldn't withstand four punches!
Li 'er was like a well-trained soldier who risked his life to protect Su Ziluo. At the same time, his body was cut by the swords.
"Li 'er, be careful!"
Su Ziluo coughed to warn him.
The masked men were beheaded one by one by Li 'er's sword, but Li' er was also wounded.
Until …
His energy was exhausted!
Su Ziluo didn't even have time to warn him. The masked man's sword stabbed towards Li 'er's back.
The sword pierced through his clothes and into his skin.
From the back to the front, it pierced through his heart and came out.
The sword was dripping with blood.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Su Ziluo stared at the scene with wide eyes. His ears were buzzing.
It sounded like the wind!
It sounded like breathing!
The masked man pulled the sword out of Lie 'er's body. "Tsk!"
Li 'er's body suddenly leaned forward as blood continuously flowed from his chest. Very quickly, his light green robes were dyed red.
Finally, his knees gave out and he knelt on the ground.
His skinny body also slowly fell down.
"Li 'er!"
Su Ziluo screamed his lungs out.
His eyes were bloodshot.
He crouched on the ground and crawled towards Li 'er who was lying in a pool of blood. His hands desperately reached for Li' er's sword-wielding hand.
Almost!
Just a little bit more!
Just a little bit more!
He finally reached it.
His big hand tightly held the small one.
Su Ziluo painfully called out, "Li 'er."
At this moment, blood was dripping from the corner of Li 'er's mouth. Her originally cold eyes were wide open as she struggled to tilt her head to look at Su Ziluo.
He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Su Ziluo grabbed his hand and lifted his head.
He felt extremely uncomfortable. His cheeks trembled, and his entire body trembled. After a long time, he choked out a few words.
"Li 'er, my good Li' er." His dry lips whispered.
"I'm sorry, I've let you down. I shouldn't have brought you to Great Lin, I shouldn't have involved you in this matter. I've harmed you, Li 'er."
Li 'er's body twitched, his hands clutching his sleeves hard.
Tears fell from the corner of her eyes!
Then, with the last bit of his strength, he gestured in the air a few times.
"Ahhh …"
He said he wanted a paper kite!
Just like the paper kite Su Ziluo had made for him two years ago!
The moment Li 'er's hand drooped, Su Ziluo caught it. Tears streamed down his face as he caressed Li' er's head.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, I'll make an identical paper kite for you."
After hearing this, the corners of Li'er's mouth twitched, and a bright smile appeared on his clean face.
Then …
Then, he closed his eyes.
His legs straightened, and he stopped breathing.
Two years ago, Su Ziluo was at the edge of Qujiang when he brought him back to the city. Since then, the two of them had been inseparable.
Su Ziluo called him big brother, and Su Ziluo named him Li 'er.
"Big brother, this paper kite is so beautiful. Did you make it for me?" Li 'er hugged his knees as he looked up at the colorful kite under the blue sky.
Su Ziluo smiled as he watched the sunlight fall on Li 'er's body.
"Do you like it, Li 'er?"
"I like it, I like it very much!"
Li 'er nodded heavily.
That summer, Li 'er became mute.
No one knew why, but some said it was because Su Ziluo had guarded the coffin for three years and contracted a serious illness. That was why Li 'er became mute while testing medicine for him.
However, only Su Ziluo knew the truth.
Li 'er cut off his own tongue!
At this moment, when the masked man pointed his sword at Su Ziluo, he was pulled back from his thoughts.
Su Ziluo held Li 'er's hand tightly and raised his head to look at the masked man. His bloodthirsty eyes reflected a ruthless glint.
The masked man was slightly apprehensive.
He could only raise his sword and say, "Now, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings. Just obediently accept your death!"
"Can you pass a message to Prince Rong?" His tone was indifferent.
"What is it?"
"Please tell him that if there is a next life, I, Su Ziluo, will definitely cut off his head."
"Okay, I will definitely pass this message to Prince Rong." The masked man replied in a carefree manner.
Su Ziluo closed his eyes. From beginning to end, there was not the slightest trace of fear.
There was only pain and hatred in his heart.
In the next moment, the masked man raised his sword and thrust it at him.
The bloody storm in Lang Province did not disturb the capital.
Everything returned to its original state.
In fact, on the day Su Ziluo left the city, the capital governor had already brought the Emperor's decree to the Rong Estate.
"The missing girls case and the Qujiang case have been solved. Now, it is time to investigate the Lin Capital case. This lowly official has already sent people to Lin Mountain. If there are no accidents, the coffins will be opened in a few days. His Majesty has also issued an imperial decree."
Report the truth!
Jing Rong grunted and asked, "Is there a place to put the 67 coffins?"
"Originally, it was to be sent to the memorial hall, but there are too many coffins. I'm afraid that it would not be good to put them in the same place, so His Majesty vacated an empty residence in the west of the city. If there is a need, Teacher Ji can also stay there."
'He wants Ji Yunshu to move!
That's not appropriate!
Moreover, if she moves there without Jing Rong by her side, something bad might happen. '
Jing Rong immediately rejected the idea. "That won't do. The place where the coffins are placed is filled with dense Yin energy. If Teacher Ji moves there, wouldn't it be the same as staying in the memorial hall?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Your Highness is right, but it would be more convenient. If Teacher Ji doesn't want to live there, it is also fine."
'Isn't it just a suggestion?
Your Highness, can't you calm down? '
"Enough. First, dig out the 63 coffins in Lin Mountain and bring them to that residence."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The capital governor complied and withdrew.
Coincidentally, Ji Yunshu also learned about this matter. After Su Ziluo left, she had been absent-minded for the whole day. She wanted to go out and collect her thoughts.
Thus, she took the initiative to suggest to Jing Rong that she should also go to Lin Mountain.
"It's too damp there."
"I know. My face has already healed."
Ji Yunshu pointed at her face.
When she returned last night, she was dressed in women's clothing without a mask. Naturally, Jing Rong noticed her face.
All that was left was a shallow scar.
It was less than an inch below the corner of her eye. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.
