Chapter 95: Brother, long time no see
From the village gate to the top of the mountain, there are less than thirty bandits left in the Crazy Lion Village.
The number of Deng's army also dropped from the initial two thousand to about one thousand.
It can be seen that the price paid on both sides was terrible.
"Ning Tian!"
The second in command recognized Li Tianzhuo at a glance.
He was the one who sneaked into the village and killed his sister.
He wished he could tear him into pieces!
"Li Tianzhuo, Deng Youning?"
Deng Zheng also arrived, and when he saw the two of them, he was confused.
But soon, he realized that just now at the gate of the village, these bandits kept saying that he had killed their third in command. It must be the work of these two people that was pinned on him.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road.
Deng Youning, this evil girl, caused his entire family to be destroyed. He couldn't kill her in the capital, so now that he has come to the Crazy Lion Village, isn't this the best time?
At that time, everything will be blamed on the bandits.
He could also earn a good reputation as a revenger for a woman!
"Oh, kill them all together."
He slowly raised his eyes, and a strong murderous intent was reflected in his dark eyes.
The sarcastic smile on his lips was terribly cold.
"Isn't that the Commander and your daughter, Princess Youning?"
The captain standing by was also confused.
If I heard correctly, the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to kill his own daughter? !
"You talk too much nonsense. Send a few people to burn down the village after they are all dead."
Deng Zheng gave another instruction.
If you want to kill someone, you can't leave any evidence!
Deng's army immediately split into two groups, one group dealt with the few remaining bandits, and the other surrounded Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo.
Needless to say, both of them were aware of the situation.
"Haha, Ah Zhuo, tell me, they are obviously my family, why do they all want me dead?"
Deng Youning supported Li Tianzhuo, and the two chatted leisurely as if they were taking a walk.
"They don't understand your kindness, it's just that they are unlucky."
Li Tianzhuo lowered his eyebrows and stared at her, with endless smile spreading in his eyes, like bright pearls and brilliant glass.
"It's a pity that we can't go find our cousin."
"You won't be lonely if I accompany you on the road to the underworld."
She looked at him tenderly, unable to hide the smile in her eyes, and her love for Li Tianzhuo was growing wildly.
In this life, she was able to experience such a colorful life and to die with Li Tianzhuo. It was worth it.
But there is still a little regret.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine as long as I'm here!"
Li Tianzhuo raised his finger and pressed it against her lips.
Although the Eighteen Soul-Fixing Meridians only lasted for three quarters of an hour, he had not actually opened all eighteen levels just now, only fifteen.
He couldn't bear to die!
But now, we must break through to the eighteenth floor.
As long as he could buy Ningning more time to escape, he would have no reason to be reluctant to die.
He closed his eyes and tried hard to break through the sixteenth floor.
The internal force surged in his body, and Deng Youning, who was pressing close to him, of course felt it.
"Li Tianzhuo, are you really going to die?"
“Stop it now!”
She stretched out her hand, wanting to knock him out with a knife and forcefully interrupt the fight.
Li Tianzhuo held her wrist and asked, "Do you think we still have a chance to survive today?"
He motioned Deng Youning to look at the Deng family soldiers who had surrounded them and were waiting for Deng Zheng's order to kill them.
"Ningning, I heard about me. Five years ago, I was young and successful, and was the top of the Nanjin martial arts world. But I was betrayed by someone I trusted, and my inner strength was sealed and my martial arts were abolished. I fled to Liangzhou and met you."
"If all the eighteen meridians are opened, with my skills, I can stop these hundreds of troops for half a quarter of an hour."
"When the time comes, you will quickly escape through the secret passage and join up with Xiu Ming, Ying Shi and the others."
Li Tianzhuo was very serious and arranged all the escape routes for Deng Youning.
Deng Youning felt that her tears were almost dried up.
She had never cried like this in two lifetimes.
She didn't cry when Deng Yi cut her tendons in her hands and feet; she didn't cry when the prince ordered her to be beaten to death. Even when she learned that she would never be accepted by the Deng family, she was only sad for a moment and never cried as much as she did tonight.
"Azhuo, please stop talking. If you die, how can I live alone?"
"However, since you have already used the Eighteen Soul-Fixing Meridians, how can I let you work in vain?"
The eyes that were gentle and tearful a second ago suddenly became cold, like cold iron, with murderous intent.
Li Tianzhuo didn't know what she was going to do and looked at her in confusion.
"Protect me. We can die today, but Deng Zheng, the murderer of his brother, must not live alone!"
Deng Youning's only regret is that Deng Zheng is not dead yet.
She will never be willing to die unless he dies!
Li Tianzhuo understood her obsession and had already started to act.
However, before they could find an opportunity for Deng Youning to break out of the encirclement of Deng's army, a "creaking" sound of mechanical rotation was heard around them, and several Deng's army soldiers who were close to Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo were cut into pieces by silk threads that appeared out of thin air!
Deng Youning saw it clearly, it was the Thousand Machine Formation that she was very familiar with!
The two looked at each other, and Li Tianzhuo was so shocked that he forgot to break through the meridians and stopped at the seventeenth level.
"Someone activated the Thousand Machine Array?!"
Li Tianzhuo said nervously.
This Thousand Machine Array is not a large area, but a designated area with only one or two silk threads.
The people sent by the bandits would have started early.
It is impossible for Deng’s army to know that there is a Thousand Machine Array in the village.
That proves there is a fourth group of people present!
Before they could figure out what was going on, Deng Zheng was suddenly stabbed in the heart with a knife from behind.
The man was wearing a Qianji Pavilion mask, but judging by his figure, he was not Master An.
Deng Zheng fell to the ground in horror, staring at the person who stabbed him with an unwilling look.
That person might want him to die with a clear conscience.
He took off his mask, revealing his face, looked at Deng Zheng, and shouted with a half-smile: "Brother, long time no see!"
Deng Zheng looked at him in horror, his eyes almost popping out.
After a long reaction, he finally asked, "Are you Deng Ren?"
The face beneath the mask was very similar to the appearance of his elder brother in his memory.
He had also thought about what his elder brother would be like if he were alive today.
But why does this person look more and more familiar the more he looks at him?
He remembered that there was a servant in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion who was responsible for cleaning and he seemed to look like this.
It turns out that he has been lurking in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion all these years!
"My dear brother, you really gave birth to a good daughter."
"If she wasn't also determined to bring down your Zhenguo Mansion, I really wouldn't be able to find a way to deal with you!"
"How is it? It feels good to have your family torn apart, your wife and children torn apart, and your friends and relatives to desert you, right?"
Deng Ren glanced at Deng Youning, squatted on the ground, and asked Deng Zheng in a low and excited voice.
Seeing the triumphant smile on his face, Deng Zheng was in a trance and finally figured out some things.
The railing that suddenly broke at Deng Youning's family reunion party; the bear that inexplicably escaped from the cage at the bear viewing party...
It is even possible that he was involved in the affair between Gu and the groom.
Otherwise, how could Deng Youning, a little girl who had been away from home for sixteen years, find her midwife?
"hehe."
"Hahaha--"
Deng Zheng was lying on the ground, making a "big" shape, laughing wildly.
It felt like self-mockery, like exhaustion, and more like a kind of relief that had finally been waited for.
Deng Ren squatted beside him and watched him go crazy in silence.
"Brother, brother, I asked my good niece to bring you a letter, but I didn't expect that you would dare to come here and die!"
Taking advantage of Deng Zheng not smiling, Deng Ren asked in a calm tone.
The letter that Deng Zheng received from the Master of Qianji Pavilion, written in the voice of Deng Ren, was actually sent by the real Deng Ren in front of him.
