Chapter 609: Drunken Mantra
Since the girl grabbed the little boy's hand in the prison, the dark life seems to light up a beam of light, and since then there is a way forward.
After being accepted into the palace, the girl was sent to the mysterious "Yin and Yang Division", and after a magic test, the official issued her a claw golden dragon robe, and she became the youngest one-claw golden dragon in the history of the imperial court, and she was full of fame in the court and the field.
The girl's younger brother was not abandoned, and the little boy found the palace doctor to heal his wounds, although the heavy blow to the head made the big boy stupid, and his intelligence stayed at 8 years old forever, but at least he regained the ability to move and speak, and he could be by his sister's side day and night.
Moreover, after the excavation of the military attachΓ© of the court, they found that this big boy was born with amazing bones, natural divine power, and was a rare martial arts seedling, so they ordered him to worship the forbidden army and practice martial arts to repay the imperial court.
For the two siblings, there is no better outcome.
Their parents died tragically, the family was shattered, and they could never go back to the old days, but they had a new home in the imperial court, not only living in fine clothes and food, but also having an elegant and humble little son as a companion to take care of them meticulously.
In the girl's mind, he has long regarded the little boy as a relative, and he is extremely dependent on him, and even secretly made up his mind that he will follow the little boy for the rest of his life and live for him.
According to the normal evolution of the situation, the girl will definitely become the henchman of the little boy and die with him, or stand up in times of danger and protect the integrity of the little boy with her life.
Until...
...
"Ye Gongzi, we have already drunk two jars, so don't drink any more."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, drink!"
"Ye Gongzi is really a good drinker, I'm ashamed."
"If you want me to say, not only is the amount of alcohol outstanding, but the intelligence is even more outstanding, otherwise how can you find those two good seedlings for the court?"
"Hahaha, what's so hard about that? I will only use a little trick to convince them of me. β
"I can't wait, and I ask Ye Gongzi for some advice~"
"Come, my son will preach to you today, like this kind of seedling, if you want to subdue it, the first thing you have to do is to cut off the roots."
"Broken roots?"
"Yes, broken roots! These people have families, their own parents, their own relatives and friends, if they continue to take root, even if they are brought back to the court, they will be cut off from the past, and they will have worries in their hearts, and it will be difficult for them to become dead. Therefore, if you want to subdue these people, the first thing you need to do is to cut off the roots. β
"So, Ye Gongzi sent the Onmyoji to the village that time..."
"Hahaha, of course, in order to cut off the roots of that girl - the foolish people in the countryside are pedantic and superstitious, I sent an onmyoji to the village and deliberately spread rumors to point out that the girl is a demon girl, and the droughts and floods in the village are caused by her demon power."
"Think about it, what will the foolish people do when they hear these words? They will wield their swords and clubs, intending to slay down the enchantress with their will. When she was hated by the whole village, and her family was killed, she was alone from then on, like duckweed, and this root was naturally broken. β
"After the root is broken, the second step is to continue the root. When a person loses a family and has nothing, they are often the most vulnerable. As long as you lend a helping hand when she is discouraged, give grace, speak skillfully, and touch the wounds in her heart, she will treat you as a confidant and remain loyal from now on. β
"One break, one continue, this is the way to control outsiders."
"Ye Gongzi is really clever! Worthy of being a descendant of a true dragon! What an eye-opener for us! β
"Hey, it's a pity, the court broke an onmyoji. I never thought that that girl's potential was so strong, that she could kill the one-clawed golden dragon and more than a hundred villagers in an instant... Originally, I wanted to wait for her whole family to be killed by the villagers, and when all thoughts were lost, I would personally drive away the onmyoji, so that I could take advantage of the situation to show greater kindness, and there was no need to go to the prison to perform a play later. That place in the dungeon stinks, it disgusts me! β
"Hahaha, Ye Gongzi is not angry, there is a saying - a blessing in disguise. It's a good thing that the potential is strong, and her younger brother is born with divine powers, and he is also a martial arts wizard, wouldn't it be better to be able to charge one more? β
"That's right, I didn't want to keep her brother, but who knew that this guy would have a big life, and he would survive if his skull was pierced. I don't have a shortage of powerful generals, but it's not a bad thing to be able to take one more person. And this guy seems to have been beaten into a fool, and he doesn't know anyone except his sister, so it's okay, taking one is equivalent to receiving two, haha. β
"Ye Gongzi, let me ask one more question, what are your plans for the two of you in the future?"
"The old roots of these two have been cut off by me, and they are already my people. They have no home but the court, and they have nowhere to go except my house, and they can only be used by me in this life. I will train them to be confidants and dead soldiers to serve the court, and if the emperor has a place to get these two, I will give them both hands. β
"Ye Gongzi's heart is about the saint, and my emperor will definitely be happy after hearing it!"
"Hahaha! Come on, let's not talk about it for now, keep drinking! β
...
While the banquet was staggering, these drunken people didn't realize that hundreds of meters away, in the side hall of the Yin and Yang Division, the girl used "earth hearing" to hear their conversation clearly.
Geohearing is a high-level yin-yang technique, which can generally be mastered with three-clawed golden dragon level mana, and there are also some talented onmyoji who can use it when they have two-clawed mana.
If you can use geodeterrence when you are clawed, it is a rare genius in a hundred years, and this girl who came out of the mountain village happens to be such a person.
She had just practiced the earth listening technique yesterday, and she hadn't had time to tell the master the good news.
Out of longing for the little boy, and a little naughty girlish heart, she secretly turned on the listening technique just now, wanting to hear what the little boy was doing, and finally heard the conversation.
Cold...
After listening, the girl only had one feeling, that is, cold, so cold...
It was spring now, but there was a chill that froze through her bones, trying to devour her like a monster.
For the first time, she knew that the human heart could be so evil and so cold.
The spring sun was shining, but the colors seemed to disappear in an instant, leaving only the gray that could not be dissolved, and the girl hung her head, tears flowed from her empty eyes, and she fell on the table.
The younger brother, who was eating, saw that his sister was crying, and he was immediately frightened and overwhelmed, and he also cried: "Sister... What happened to you? Don't cry... Woo... I'll give you my chicken legs, don't you cry, okay..."
The younger brother placed his favorite chicken leg in front of the girl, shivering and huddling around her, snuggling up to her at a loss.
The girl looked at the food on the table with teary eyes, and thought of the days when the family had crowded around the table to eat, although the mountain village hut was broken and crowded, and there was nothing comparable to this Jinluan Palace, but it was the warmest time in her life.
The memory pierced her heart like a knife, the girl bit her lower lip, her lips trembled, and finally she trembled and said three words:
"It's disgusting..."
