Chapter 138 Flame Punishment
For the secret guards on Guangyulan Continent, this continent is the location of the most stringent and largest secret secret guard organization in the world, and it is also the "playground" of the sick third prince.
Once you become a secret guard, your life is in the hands of your master.
It’s a pity that the real master never shows up in public all year round, and only leaves all the secret guard-related affairs of Guangyu Lanzhou to Yan Lang.
Yan Lang only has the body of an eight-year-old. He never kills anyone and even has a good temper.
However, the child had a pair of extremely cold-blooded eyes. When he looked at the secret guards, he was not looking at "people" at all, but as if he was looking at insignificant cats and dogs, as indifferent as if he was looking at stones that could be seen everywhere.
Secret guards who made mistakes or failed in their missions rarely faced the punishment of death. After all, training a secret guard was extremely time-consuming and costly.
The secret guards only need to go to Yan Lang to be punished. They will not be killed or beaten, but will just try the medicine under Yan Lang for a month.
All kinds of unknown things were boiled into a bowl of black potion and poured down the throat day by day.
In mild cases, the patient may experience severe pain all over the body and faint, while in severe cases, the patient may see ghosts and have hallucinations in broad daylight.
Even after the punishment is over, the nightmare will last for months.
Therefore, to the secret guards, Yan Lang is far more terrifying than their real masters.
Everyone is afraid of Yan Lang, except the little guard from the Nan Kingdom.
The secret guards were on duty in the dark, watching the guard hook his arms around Yan Lang's neck, rubbing him affectionately, and even calling Yan Lang "Little Brother".
Yan Lang seemed very angry on the surface, but the secret guards could see that he actually enjoyed it.
When the little guard was around, Yan Lang hardly cared about the duties of the secret guards and never punished anyone.
Unfortunately, after drinking milk wine facing the moon that night, the young guard packed his bags and left in a hurry overnight.
Yan Lang ordered his men to seal off the house where the young guard had lived for almost a year and not to move anything inside.
Immediately afterwards, the "cold-blooded and ruthless" Yan Lang came back again.
The secret guards began to live cautiously again.
It was not until a few days later that a tall figure rode his horse into Guangyulan Island.
Looking at the tiger's back and slim waist, and his unusually tall figure, the secret guards knew that their real master had returned.
Several leading secret guards were about to step forward to greet and reply, but they saw their master with a gloomy face, angrily kicking open Yan Lang's door. They immediately retreated quietly, not daring to get any closer. They could only hear roars coming from Yan Lang's room.
The dormitory soon became a mess, with all the tables and chairs kicked over.
Yan Lang sat quietly beside the bed, watching the man go crazy with anger with cold eyes.
"I told you!! As long as she lives! I will keep her here forever! Why did you let her go back to Nan Country?!"
Yan Lang said calmly: "You did say that. But you didn't say she was a woman."
Yan Shijiu rushed over, grabbed Yan Lang by the collar, and yelled:
"What does it have to do with you whether she's a man or a woman?! I just want you to keep an eye on her! I only trust you in this world! Why don't you do it!!"
Yan Lang sneered, "Only trust me? No, you only dare to entrust your beloved to me, an eight-year-old 'child' who is incapable of human relations. Yan Xing, have you been Yan Shijiu for so long that you have forgotten who you are?"
Yan Shijiu stared at Yan Lang with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. "In this world, I only trust you! Because you are my brother. For more than twenty years, you are the only one who has protected me! You know it!"
Yan Lang slowly straightened his tangled collar. "What's the point of me holding her captive? Her heart isn't with you at all. She's so obsessed with her young master that she's willing to risk her life to steal the Wind-Scorching Grass from the palace. It's a shame you didn't see her escape from the palace with your own eyes."
Her body was covered in bloody holes, with barely a single piece of intact flesh left. Just her last breath. She'd risked her life to such an extent for that young master. How could you argue with her? Just by asking the secret guards to get a false map and lead her to your secret lair on the border? Just by trying to give her a Xuan Jiu Sword?
"Shut up!" Yan Shijiu was about to go crazy after hearing Yan Lang describe so vividly how Yun Chen risked his life for Huo Gannian:
"According to my plan, I was going to lead her to a place where she would never see Huo Gannian again! But something unexpected happened on the way, so she came to Dongyan! That's why I entrusted her to you! You don't have any say on the rest!"
"It's not my turn." Yan Lang's eyes were filled with contempt. Looking at Yan Shijiu's expression, it was completely the contempt of an older brother looking at his childish younger brother's mischief.
"But, Yan Xing, you've known Yun Chen much longer than I have. How could you not see it? Whether it's an accident or the Dongyan Palace, nothing can trap her. Because she is a fierce eagle, not a caged bird that you can possess just because you think she's pretty."
The last sentence was like a large basin of cold water poured on Yan Shijiu's head. All his anger was silenced and he could no longer shout another word.
He released the hand that had been gripping Yanlang's collar, hunched his back, and slowly picked up a broken chair from the ground. He lay down on it as if exhausted, and said expressionlessly:
"It doesn't matter if I can't get it. No one else can get what I can't get."
Yan Lang was startled for a moment, but quickly recovered, his lips curled up mockingly:
"That's right."
