C121 He Died of Guilt
People are not plants, they say they are heartless, but who can be heartless.
Aalu might be a sinister villain, but the centipede had gone through thick and thin with him for more than twenty years. Now that it had died in his hands, the centipede felt a little upset.
"Humph, those who do this line of work will die sooner or later. As the saying goes, the sooner you die, the sooner you can live. Big Brother, don't blame us for being ruthless. "
After saying that, Aalu pretended to bow a few times towards the corpse. After that, he threw a cold glance in Guxing's direction and said with a smile. "Big brother has a good journey ahead. This kid will naturally be taken care of by brother for you. I believe that with him accompanying you, big brother will not be lonely along the way. "
Carefully bypassing the corpse, Aalu walked towards the direction where Guxing had fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Rouer could not help but become anxious again. Guxing seemed to have already expected her to be like this. He still did not open his eyes and only lightly patted her small hand three times. Chu Rouer understood and immediately stood quietly at the side with a calm expression.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing that he had already raised the sword in his hand, Chu Rouer hurriedly stepped in front of Guxing to protect him. She raised her arm to welcome him. "You can kill him, but kill him with me first!"
"Sigh, why does Your Highness Rou need to do this? This brat is already crippled. Rather than letting him struggle on the verge of death in pain, it would be better to let his subordinates give him a quick death. Her Highness, please avoid for the time being. Otherwise, when the dirty blood spills on Your Highness's body later, your subordinate will not be able to bear it. "
As he spoke, he was about to pull Chu Rouer away from in front of him.
" Impudent! I am a daughter of a rich family. How can a lowly slave like you touch me with your dirty hands? Take it away! "
Chu Rouer was the princess of a country after all. Although she usually behaved softly and weakly, once she lost her temper, every movement she made would inevitably carry a trace of royal prestige that she was born with. The scolding immediately frightened Aalu, causing him to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.
"Forgive me, Your Highness. This lowly one was only following orders. Please do not make things difficult for this lowly one. "
Aalu coughed a few times. He suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be respectful.
"Oh? If you are following orders, then let me ask you. In Great Chu, other than Royal Father, who else can give orders that are bigger than mine? What a good command. If you dare to ask who orders you are, just tell me. Let me see it for myself. "
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. I won't be stupid enough to tell you my lord's name. Your Highness, please step back so that I won't offend Your Highness later. "
As that person spoke, he wanted to take a few steps forward but was stopped by Chu Rouer's cold gaze.
"I already said that if you want to kill him, you can. You have to step over my body first. Did you not hear what I said?"
With her hands behind her back, Chu Rouer said coldly. Facing other people, the little girl seemed to have become a different person. Her posture was very high and her words carried an aggressive momentum. Along with that person, Guxing, who was lying on the ground and had yet to wake up, was also stunned. He had discovered this more than once. The little girl beside him seemed to be far weaker than he had imagined. There was a natural power in her delicate body. That was the aura of an emperor that only a few emperors had.
"This girl might become very special in the future. "
Guxing muttered in his heart as he felt Chu Rouer's different aura.
However, he did not know how fate played tricks on people. If he had known what path Chu Rouer would embark on in the future, he might not have had an irreparable sigh. Of course, this was what he would say in the future.
"Heh, could it be that Your Highness has forgotten about his current situation?"
As if he was somewhat annoyed that he was actually forced to retreat by a woman's aura, Aalu turned his face around and ridiculed her with an indifferent tone.
"What? Do you think you can threaten me with that? As expected, a dragon swimming in the shallow water gets toyed with by a shrimp. When a tiger falls, the Ping Yang gets bullied by a dog, you can't help but want to reveal your true colors. Heh, it seems like some people are born to be servants. They bully the weak and fear the strong. No matter how many years they live, they still haven't made any progress. "
"You!"
Perhaps it was because he had just personally sacrificed his companions' lives that his emotions had yet to stabilize, or perhaps Chu Rouer's attitude just happened to hit his so-called dignity as a man. In short, when he heard this, he finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore.
"Hmph, do you think this is still your palace courtyard? You are allowed to be so impudent! Open your eyes and take a look. There is no Royal Father here, and no one else for you to call for help. What Your Highness? Truly laughable. Without the protection of the royal family behind you, you still think that you are the capital's Princess Qianrou who can call the wind and summon the rain, daydreaming!"
After saying that, he ignored Chu Rouer's expression and turned around to move behind her. Chu Rouer hurriedly turned around and was just about to cry out in fear when he pressed her acupuncture points at an even faster speed.
"I have been busy these few days and am tired. I hope that Your Highness can quietly stand here and rest for a while. Your Highness can rest assured that I will let this brat go on his way. I will keep my word. "
Aalu laughed and moved from Chu Rouer's back to Guxing. He still held the sword in his hand and said condescendingly, "Kid. You are indeed a figure, but your life is a bit thin. But you can't blame others for this, and you can only blame yourself for getting involved in this mess. You know, there are some things that you can't control just because you want to. What a pity. In order to verify this logic, But you have to pay the price of your life, because there are some things that you really can't turn back on. Once you are wrong, a single step is a lifetime. "
When he finished speaking, the space between his brows was filled with a feeling of emotion. The meaning interweaved on his face, and it actually added a wisp of a sorrowful expression that was like the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox, causing him to seem to be rather moved.
"That's all. It's over. "
After he finished speaking, he thrust his sword towards Guxing. The sword light was like a silver snake that arrived in an instant. However, Guxing still did not show any signs of getting up. Chu Rouer's heart was immediately filled with anxiety.
"Buzzing ~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal clanging. Chu Rouer slowly opened her eyes and found that the tragic scene that she had imagined did not happen. Aalu suddenly realized that the sword in his hand had suddenly become somewhat disobedient, as if it was trying its best to break free from his control. Gradually, the buzzing sound became louder and louder. Aalu could not help but be shocked by this strange phenomenon for a moment, and then inadvertently. . . The tightly clenched sword finally left his hand.
"Uh!"
Seeing the divine weapon in his hand spinning in the air, Aalu immediately turned his head and followed the sword's direction, but he could not believe that the centipede was standing there with a face full of blood, staring straight at him.
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, a scream came out of his mouth. Then he saw that he was trembling and sitting on the ground. The strange scene in front of him scared him so much that he kept stepping back. He pointed at the centipede and said, "You, you, you. . . You are already dead. How is that possible? You are a ghost. . . You are. . . "
The centipede did not respond to him. It only looked at him with a face full of blood. There was a trace of mockery in its widened eyes.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had bumped into something hard. He subconsciously looked up and immediately saw another mocking face. . .
"Ahhhhh. . . "
Seeing the two dead people appear in front of him alive, a huge fear instantly surged into his heart like a tidal wave. After screaming, he did not run away anymore and instead sat quietly like a stone statue. However, his eyes no longer had the slightest bit of life in them.
This state lasted for a long time until Guxing cut his neck with his sword. He did not wake up again.
"Silly, are you alright?"
At this time, Xiao Yue walked up with a worried look on her face.
Guxing smiled and nodded without saying anything. He slowly put his hand into his clothes and caressed the cold spot that was pressed against his chest. His face was full of mixed emotions.
