【Liangyue】Seven Nights Talk

Chapter 4 The Man in the Castle in the Air

Otakemaru prepared to leave the mansion as usual.

However, when he stood in front of the solid wooden door, there was the sound of broken military boots hitting the ground outside the door.It's not auditory hallucinations, Dayue Wan is not weak enough to have illusions due to lack of sleep for a few hours, the answer is obvious.He was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, countless fragments flashed in his mind.It's really uninvited... He licked his lower lip unconsciously, and Otake Maru couldn't help licking his lips when he was excited, like a warm-up preparation before tasting delicious food.Without hesitation, he pushed the door straight out. Even though he was pointed at by the black muzzle, Otake Maru still said in a relaxed tone,

"morning everyone."

Facing the dark crowd in the courtyard, Dayakemaru pretended to be unbelievable.He had thought that he was facing a small team of about ten people, but from the posture he saw when he opened the door, others would definitely think that he was going to encircle and suppress some organization.

In fact, just to "catch" him alone.

"Teacher Haiming, you really value me too much..."

Dayue Maru couldn't help but tease, he recognized familiar faces one after another in the crowd - the troops he led with his own hands, they were like brothers yesterday, but today they drew their swords to face each other.Soldiers have too many advantages to mention; they have few disadvantages, but they are deadly.The leader is Kanihime, his only confidant besides Kujirao.

"Suzuka Dayake Maru, suspected of treason, arrested according to law, and executed today."

Kanihime is a female Alpha, very conspicuous among men.Otake Maru picked her up in an alley next to a toy store, wearing a long skirt with holes, holding a doll that didn't match the clothes in his hands.When asked what happened, the girl replied: I picked up the bottle in exchange for it, and I didn't steal it.I stayed here and just forgot to keep my bread money for tonight, which was all spent on dolls.The little girl seemed worried that she would be regarded as a bad child, and explained quickly.

"You are Alpha, you should go to military academy at this age."

"I know, but there are no dolls there." Crabme buried her face in the doll's golden curly hair, crying, "Just because I am an Alpha, I am much stronger than other girls, and I have no friends..."

Dayakemaru said nothing, just stepped forward to rub the girl's raised bangs. "Alpha is so good, you can do a lot of things that others can't. However, this doesn't mean that you can make unreasonable troubles because you are an Alpha."

"If you don't want to go back to the original military academy, come to me. My name is Dayake Maru."

He took the girl's little hand, held her in his arms with one hand, and held the doll in the other.

……

Of course Kanihime doesn't want to arrest Dayakemaru.The one who loves himself more than his parents.But as a soldier of Mt. Suzuka, Lord Kaiming's will is their will and must be carried through to the end.She didn't believe that her general would do such a thing. When she received this urgent military order, Xie Ji's heart trembled fiercely.She wanted to write an investigation report, hoping to get permission from her superiors, but she was pushed back by the silent gazes of the people around her.

"I'm sorry...General..." The lock in Xie Ji's hand was hanging in the air and trembled slightly, the executor's words were much weaker, and the awe-inspiring aura that just read out the arrest warrant was missing.Even though she is an ice-snow-smart, braver than Hui female general, she is more like a naughty child in front of Dayue Wan. "I will definitely save you with... Kujira..."

"Crab Princess..." Dayakemaru put his hand into the shackles by himself. In the past, he used this pair of shackles to punish countless wicked villains, but now he slips into it himself, which really makes people laugh.He was aware of Xie Ji's dilemma, as well as his own situation, Xie Ji was not the only one who came to arrest him, and countless pairs of eyes stared straight at the two of them.

Otakemaru worried that talking too much would disturb Kanihime.However, there are some things that still need to be entrusted.He casually scanned the other people present, and the soldiers who met their gaze had to bow their heads silently.Selectively ignoring, they are Otake Maru's subordinates, who can give their "general" the last possible.

"collar."

Dayue Maru whispered, when Kani Ji turned sideways, he had already been swallowed by the escort car.

That afternoon.

Kujira silently tore up the military newspaper that had just been printed, and he read it through gritted teeth, during which his skeleton and muscles trembled violently due to anger.Xie Ji leaned against the wall beside her, staring blankly at the corner of the room.As the cronies of the repeat offender Suzuka Ogakumaru, they had just finished summoning them. Fortunately, Master Kaiming only took care of Ogakumaru, and the summoning was just a formality.

"Nonsense."

He threw the torn piece of paper heavily on the desk, took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood.Kanihime didn't know when she came to his side, with her hands resting on the edge of the table, Kujira raised her head all the way up, her brows were tightly locked, and her eyes were so sharp that they could pierce through a brick wall.He looked at Xie Ji, his expression softened a little, he hesitated to speak, and said for a while, with complicated emotions:

"I heard it was the general you arrested."

Jiuji spoke bluntly with his conscience, he knew that it was the general who was arrested by Xie Ji, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he added the cumbersome word "I heard" in an attempt to break the rigid atmosphere in the room.Kani Ji nodded slightly. Compared with Jiu Jiliang, she didn't feel much better, but she knew the news earlier than him.

"Well, it's me."

"Master Kaiming deliberately hid it from us and surpassed our level. If I had noticed earlier... maybe I could have helped Master Ogakemaru leave Suzuka Mountain." Kanihime leaned forward slightly, with almost all her strength under her On the table, her hands were pressing until her joints turned white. From the beginning, when she mentioned "Dayue Pill", her body would tremble uncontrollably.

"Sorry... Kujira, I failed to protect Otakemaru-sama."

She gritted her teeth, her voice was muffled, Xie Ji lowered her reddened eyelids, and pursed her thin lips.Kujirao said nothing, Kaniji was stunned and felt ashamed, she knew that she would be hated by Kujirao forever, but she remembered Dayakemaru's entrustment before going to prison, and her messy heart was sorted out again.She took out a sealed bag from the inside pocket of her uniform and placed it in Kujira's sight.

"...Compared to this, when I sent Otakemaru-sama, this was something he had changed from his military uniform and sewed it into his collar. Otakemaru-sama said that if he went to prison and searched again, these things would be seized by the prison guards , I can’t get it back.”

"He said to return it to Kujira."

Kanji pinches the frosted pouch with two fingers. The pouch is very old, and the surface is full of little scratches left by nails inadvertently when Da Yuewan was using it.Dayue Maru was an officer in the novel for several years, and he was said to be the top leader of a warlord family.However, the "valuable item" that he carried with him was only a small bag that he didn't know what it was inside.Qing, virtuous, is a traitor.Thinking of this, Jiu Jiliang couldn't help but sneer.He took the pouch with both hands, almost weightless, flat, lying in his palm.

Otake Maru never mentioned this to him, maybe there is a secret recipe for how to rescue him.Driven by curiosity, he couldn't help holding it in the palm of his hand and twisting it inch by inch. He touched the hard ring and could vaguely feel the lines engraved on it.

Kujira was suddenly restless, and he tore open the pouch arbitrarily.There was a crisp sound of metal clashing, and a silver ring fell onto the table, spinning weakly, making a buzzing sound, and then laying steadily in the center.Kujira never imagined in his dreams that what Otakemaru was carrying next to him was actually a ring.

Sterling silver, because Dayake Maru once mentioned that he likes silent love affairs; narrow type, because Dayue Maru is convenient for doing things, too wide will affect the efficiency of office; the inside is inlaid with a small diamond, because Dayue Maru prefers things that shine; the outside is engraved The silhouette of Otakemaru's favorite forget-me-not, he always felt that he could have eternal memories of love in this way.

The inner side is not only inlaid with a diamond, but also engraved with Kujira's name.Yet enough is enough.Kujiliang didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment, his eyelids twitched crazily, his nose was sour, and the hand touching the ring trembled uncontrollably. After a long time, he mustered up the courage to put the ring on his eyelids. Underneath, carefully identify with the light.

KUJIRA. (Kujira)

——This is the pairing ring that Kujira gave Otakemaru.

"Little Master..."

Kujira gently put the ring on his lips, it was cold and cold, because the owner of the ring had been away from it for a long time, but he still felt salty, tears slipped down secretly, when he touched the ring and changed the track, he was the first to be caught by his The tip of the tongue tasted it.A thin layer of mist began to rise in his sight, covering everything he looked at, and the water vapor turned into the night in his memory.

It was the first time he sneaked into the young master's bedroom without knocking on the door, but was caught by Dayue Maru who was hiding in the dark.Kujira only remembered that his arm was in pain from being pulled by Otakemaru, and the other party didn't seem to recognize him as he was ruthlessly pulling at his vitals. Fortunately, Kujira unconsciously cried out pain, and he recognized that the person who came was his subordinate.

"Why didn't you knock on the door." Otakemaru looked a little angry, with his back turned to the wall. "It made me think that an enemy was looking for me...does it still hurt?" Seeing Kujira moving his body, he felt a little sorry, so he stepped forward to help rub the sore spot.With this kneading, a shallow cardboard box was produced from Kujira's vest pocket.

"This is..." He held it in his hand and was about to speak, but the blushing Kujira stretched out his hand and snatched it back.Although the box has been taken back, Jiuciliang himself couldn't resist the young master's puzzled eyes, so he still looked at it, "Young master... this is a gift from Jiuciliang." He singled out as he spoke. Fingers open the lid,

On the soft black flannel, lay a silver ring quietly.

Dayake Maru slightly opened his eyes.Unexpected but makes sense.He slightly restrained his surprised face, his golden eyes narrowed, and Otakemaru squinted his eyes, staring at the contents of the box with a half-smile, and Kujira who knelt on one knee holding the paper box.

The suffering in the early years made Kujira unable to believe in God, but at this moment, he knelt in front of Otake Maru with great piety.As if looking up at the statue of the Virgin, staring fascinatedly at the source of emotion, Dayakemaru is the god he believes in.He didn't know how to express his admiration, so he had to follow the experience of his predecessors like a gourd, carefully took Dayue Maru and relaxed his hanging hand, and kissed it lightly.

The warm feeling from the back of the hand is the most holy ritual.Dayuemaru blinked his eyes, under the shadow of the moonlight, his facial features were patchwork, distinct in light and dark, handsome like a knife, just like a statue.

"Little Master."

"Kujira."

The affectionate call was exchanged for a warm embrace.Dayake Maru threw himself into Kujira's broad chest, Kujira hugged his waist, each other's breath landed on the back of the most sensitive neck, itching, arousing the glands hidden under the thin skin.When the two embraced each other, the pheromones had already entangled each other skillfully, Otakemaru let out an uncomfortable muffled groan, and Kujira leaned over and blocked his lips.

However, in the end, Otake Maru didn't wear that ring, although he knew that it was a matching ring, and the other one was hidden in Kujira's suit trousers pocket. "I will cherish it well." Otake Maru weighed the ring for a while, then put it back into the shallow paper box, and pushed it into the drawer box of the bed cabinet.

"I'm going to think about it...after all, it's a big deal."

He noticed Kujira's dejected look of loss, and comforted him with a long sigh of relief.

"Kujira, don't think too much."

……

It is not Kujira's style to be immersed in memories.He took a deep breath, his out-of-focus eyes came together again, the ring left his lips, this time hiding it in Kujira's inside stitched pouch.Calm down, Kujira.He tried his best to organize his thoughts, connecting the original irrelevant paragraphs together like a jigsaw puzzle.

His mood gradually stabilized, and he touched the cigarette case thrown at the corner of the table. It was transferred from Kanihime to Kujiliang together with the ring. It was not as valuable or attractive as the ring, but he still treated it like a treasure. Gently push and close the cigarette case lid as well.Kujira weighed it lightly, it was quite heavy, and it was a new pack of cigarettes, probably opened just before he was arrested in the morning.

Otakemaru often asked him for a lighter, so even though Kujira had quit smoking for a long time, he still carried a lighter with him.The lighter was taken out from the pocket of the coat that had been kept always, Kujira shook out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He put his hand against the lid of the flip lighter and made a clicking sound, but there was no spark yet.

Kujira chewed on the cigarette holder and tasted the sweet lime.He froze for a while, the smell was quickly washed away by the bitterness of the tobacco, even if the things that existed would disappear, they would leave tangible traces, the fire flashed, even though his mouth and nasal cavity were quickly occupied by smoke, Jiu Jiliang still Remember the scent that made his blood surge.

"Cough cough." Jiu Ciliang hadn't smoked tobacco for a long time, but his eyes were reddened by the tangy smoke. He waved his hand to sweep away the gathered smoke. "Xi Ji... the general has devoted his entire life as a soldier, and has helped Lord Haiming regain countless homelands. I really can't understand why Lord Haiming wants to do this, and it is still a crime of treason."

It's hard to argue.Treason is extremely deadly to a general who leads an army in battle.It means that you betray your subordinates, your relatives, your motherland, and violate the program of being a soldier, which is an act of humiliation to your family.

White mist overflowed from the gap between Jiuciliang's teeth, turning into a slowly expanding smoke ring.The person in the circle, Xie Ji, rested her chin, leaned her body down, and looked up at the smoker. "This incident happened before Dayake Maru attacked Whale Kingdom, so you don't know... But, Kanihime, I went to the frontier together with Master Dayake Maru's war in the east and west. That war was so tragic... I still can't get rid of."

"I know that the general has only lost once so far."

Kujira raised his eyebrows, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.This is indeed the black spot behind Dayue Maru's glorious record. That year he led the army, a mighty [-]-man army, to conquer the sea monster country that had been trapped internally and externally. It was obviously a victory without any suspense. The ending was surprising. Maru's army was almost completely annihilated. It was rumored that the sea monster city river was dyed bright red, blood was flowing, and corpses were scattered all over the field. Otake Maru himself was also seriously injured, and his chest was cut open several times by a sharp knife. The mouth.

"The turned flesh and blood are beating, and the blood is constantly bubbling outside... I said, General, hurry up, but he didn't listen to me, and asked everyone to retreat first... Before he finished speaking, he passed out. Then I also It was dark, and when I woke up..."

Kanihime's voice was trembling, Kujira reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't talk about it. I almost understand that war."

"Do you know Na Chuan... He has the same surname as Ogakumaru-sama, so he is a relatively shallow foreigner. During that war, he was placed in the rear because of a sudden fever. Otakumaru-sama quickly transferred the troops from the rear when he found out that the situation of the battle had changed. , Nachuan and everyone in the rear survived."

"Are you suspicious of him?"

"...I, I'm not doubting. I just, just... I don't believe that Otakemaru-sama will treason!" Kanihime shouted at the top of her voice, her eyes were still shining with tears.Holding the hem of the dress with her hands, she forced to draw wrinkles on the flat fabric.Her resolute eyes turned to Kujira who was looking for the place where the ashes fell, as if asking about the other party's determination.

"I believe in the general." Facing Kanji's fierce baby face, Jiujiliang stepped forward and rubbed her messy hair.Dayakemaru treats Kanihime like a family member, and Kujira pampers Kanihime like a child.He pondered for a moment, then put the cigarette case still in his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, "Let's go, we have to find a way to meet the general first."
