Empty night?
Is he still alive?
Seeing this, Elder Yu Liu immediately stopped the guards, then waved towards Amuta Kongye and said, "Come here, let this elder take a look at you."
Kong Ye walked quickly to Elder Yu Liu, and before Elder Yu Liu could react, the young boy knelt down.
"Uncle, Kong Ye misses you so much."
The young boy's eyes were red, and he spoke so sincerely that people couldn't help but be moved.
Elder Yu Liu's heart also softened.
He leaned over and helped the young boy up, raised his hand and stroked his cheek, and looked at him carefully. It was really the little Kong Ye from that year.
However, Kong Ye is not so thin now.
The young boy said aggrievedly: "Uncle, Kong Ye has been waiting for you for a long, long time."
Elder Yu Liu reached out and grabbed Kong Ye's arm, asking doubtfully, "They all said you were dead. What happened?"
Kong Ye looked around fearfully, then lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, let's talk about this inside. I'm afraid it would be bad if others heard it."
Seeing how alert and cautious he was, Elder Yu Liu brought him into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Kong Ye knelt down and told the story of how he was thrown into the snake cave by many princes and princesses. He did not hide the matter of the green snake.
He just concealed some details.
"Snake King?" Elder Yu Liu was suspicious.
"Then how did you make a contract with it?"
Kong Ye lowered his head and said, "When it wanted to eat me, I struggled desperately and bit its snake tail. Then, somehow, I formed a contract with it."
Elder Yu Liu was silent for a moment upon hearing this. He neither said he believed nor disbelieved it. He just sighed and said, "You have survived a great disaster, so you will surely have good fortune in the future."
Kong Ye humbly grabbed Elder Yu Liu's robe and said, "Uncle, Kong Ye begs you to let me go see the king. I really want to live. If Prince Mingze and the others knew that I was not dead, they would definitely hunt me down..."
Elder Yu Liu pursed his lips and said, "Kong Ye, how do you know that going to see the king is the right choice?"
"Uncle, Kong Ye has...no other choice."
Hearing this, Elder Yu Liu finally nodded.
"Since this elder has promised you this, then this elder agrees to take you to the king's palace tomorrow."
"Kong Ye thanks uncle!"
The young boy crawled on the ground with his head lowered, looking extremely humble. His tone was full of gratitude, but from the perspective where no one could see him, his eyes were extremely cold.
Elder Yu Liu sighed softly, then helped the young boy up.
…
The next day.
Kong Ye cleaned himself up and put on a new set of clothes.
Now he looks like a nobleman.
In order not to reveal his identity in advance, Elder Yu Liu asked Kong Ye to wear a mask and then took him to the meeting hall where the king was.
There were still ministers in the council hall reporting some matters to the king, so they could only wait outside the hall.
Coincidentally, Princess Gu Bing also came, followed by a group of maids. One of the maids in front was Yang Yu!
When Kong Ye looked up and saw Yang Yu, he seemed to feel cold all over.
I felt uncontrollably excited.
Kong Ye stared at Yang Yu without blinking, and when Princess Gu Bing looked over here, he quickly lowered his head.
"Elder Yu Liu?"
Princess Gu Bing raised her eyebrows slightly. She walked towards this side and noticed that there was a young boy wearing a mask next to Elder Yu Liu.
Elder Yu Liu respectfully called out, "Princess."
"Who is this?" Princess Gu Bing stared at the young boy and asked with a smile.
Elder Yu Liu answered flawlessly, "This is one of the king's descendants, and this is his first time seeking an audience with the king."
Princess Gu Bing scoffed, "Oh? So, this is also my brother? Why is he wearing a mask? Is there a facial defect?"
"Take off his mask."
At the eldest princess's command, a maid quickly stepped forward and headed towards the young boy. That maid was none other than Yang Yu. Yang Yu had a look of disgust on her face, and she stared at him with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
Like looking at some bug.
The young boy slowly raised his head, his sparkling green eyes staring at Yang Yu with a deep smile.
When Yang Yu met his eyes, she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart. This look... seemed familiar.
And just at this moment——
The ministers came out.
The discussion should be over.
The old man who always accompanied the king came over and said to Elder Yu Liu, "Elder Yu Liu, the king has summoned you~"
Immediately, the old man turned around and said respectfully to Princess Gu Bing, "Princess, please wait a moment."
"Okay." Princess Gu Bing glanced at Kong Ye with an obscure look in her eyes, then smiled and nodded.
After Elder Yu Liu and Princess Gu Bing nodded, they took Kong Ye and walked into the hall.
When entering the hall, Kong Ye's breathing became disordered. He had never seen his biological father. He lowered his head and followed Elder Yu Liu closely.
"Yu Liu pays respect to the King!"
Kong Ye's heart skipped a beat and he knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground in a humble manner.
"Yu Liu, what do you want from me?" A deep and slightly rough voice came slowly, as if it could vibrate people's eardrums.
"Your Majesty, Yu Liu is bringing a child to see you today."
"oh?"
Amuta Jinwu stared dimly at the young boy who was kneeling very humbly.
"Your Majesty, this child was found to have exceptional talent in the Divine Stone Hall. You gave him the name Amuta Kongye. Do you still remember?"
Hearing this, Amuta Jinwu narrowed his eyes.
"Still alive?" He obviously knew that Amuta Kongye should have died more than two years ago, but he didn't take it to heart at the time.
Elder Yu Liu's eyebrows twitched.
From the king's attitude, it can be seen that he does not like Amuta Kongye.
At this time, Kong Ye straightened his body, took off his mask, revealing a fair and charming face. He was extremely handsome, with a kind of beauty that was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.
The king couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Kong Ye finally saw his so-called biological father. He was exactly the same as the one he had imagined. He didn't feel any surging emotions in his heart, but he had to pretend.
He looked at Amuta Jinwu with admiration and said word by word, "My king, I want to be your best chess piece. I want to be your most loyal servant."
"Why do you do that?" Amuta Jinwu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Kong Ye lowered his head and slowly placed it on the ground. He said firmly, "Kong Ye knows that there is a kind of poison among the alien races, which is the Nu Gu. Your Majesty can put the Nu Gu on me. If I betray or offend Your Majesty, Your Majesty can execute me!"
When Elder Yu Liu heard the word "Slave Gu", his expression changed.
Once the slave poison is planted in someone, they will experience severe pain all over their body three times a month. This kind of pain can make people feel that life is worse than death.
Moreover, if the person who cast the poison wants him to die, he can die.
