Chapter 127 Dark Butterfly (1)
Zhou State [Rucheng].
This city is currently under the control of the Xia army and is where the main force of the Xia army is stationed. It can be said to be a den of dragons and tigers.
A heavily guarded mansion, somewhere in the mansion, in the underground cell, in the deepest part of the gloomy and damp place, a cell separated by a heavy door was faintly moaning with pain; in the cell, there was a woman in red, a man in blue, two men in green, and a person with his hands tied to the wall, lying on the ground. From her figure, it can be seen that she is a woman, with blood and hideous scars all over her body, which is shocking. The clothes on her body can still be vaguely seen to be white. She hung her head, and it was not known whether she was weak or unconscious, but it could be seen that if her hands were not bound by iron chains the whole person would have collapsed to the ground...
"Miss, she fainted."
A man in green holding a long whip checked the condition of the woman who collapsed on the ground, and then respectfully reported the situation to the woman in red beside him.
"Splash water."
The woman in red said coldly, without a trace of warmth or compassion in her tone.
"yes!"
Another man immediately picked up a bucket of water and poured it on the woman who was lying on the ground with wounds all over her body. The woman was awakened instantly and groaned in pain.
The woman in red slowly stepped forward, walked towards the woman, squatted down, stretched out her hand to lift the woman's chin, let her look directly at her and said: "How is it? Can you tell me now?"
The woman raised her face stubbornly, but she couldn't break free from the red-dressed woman's restraints. Her messy hair was wet with blood and stuck to her face, making it hard to see her appearance. She was breathing heavily, and it was not difficult to see how serious her injuries were and how weak she was. However, there was a burning light in her eyes that refused to yield, and she replied with difficulty: "I will not betray you, sir."
Only then did she realize that the woman in red was Huan Ling. After hearing the woman's answer, she raised a cruel arc at the corner of her mouth and said: "Betrayal?... Do you think you are loyal to him? And not for anything else?"
There was a lot of meaning in Huan Ling's words , but the woman was stunned when she heard it, and the burning light in her eyes dimmed slightly.
Satisfied with the woman's slight change, Huanling continued: "Remember, no one can betray him, you and me. There is no one in the world who will not succumb to him. On the contrary, once you fall in love with him, you can't extricate yourself. So I have never betrayed him."
Huan Ling spoke every word clearly. The woman opened her eyes slightly after hearing what Huan Ling said. Disbelief turned into shock, and then slowly became understanding. Finally, she turned her head away under Huan Ling's restraint, trying to escape from Huan Ling's sight. However, this action did not make much difference in Huan Ling's hands. At most, her eyes just moved away, and her chin was still pinched by Huan Ling with great force.
"I could have ignored what happened in the past, but now he is the one who betrayed me first. You should be very clear about this since you have always been by his side."
The voice of the phantom was like a devil's voice, slowly corroding the woman's auditory nerves. She certainly understood what the phantom meant by "betrayal", and even had some understanding of it, but betrayal was betrayal, no matter how grand the reason was, it was an unchangeable fact, and loyalty to the only master was what she should abide by, so she gritted her teeth, turned her eyes back to the phantom, and said: "I don't know anything, just kill me if you want."
The woman's reaction and answer made Huanling stunned, and then she laughed. Her smile looked very charming, but her smile in front of her looked chilling. She smiled and said: "What a loyal servant, but it should not be loyal to his duty, but loyal to his ulterior motives, right?"
The woman was slightly startled, she didn't say anything, and she didn't look away, but Huan Ling still keenly caught the slight hesitation in her eyes under her stubborn appearance.
Everyone knows that once a person wavers, he can be controlled. Although it varies from person to person, it is an unchanging truth. At least the woman in front of him made Huanling know that this truth is an unchanging fact. She continued: "As far as I know, he has never looked at you straight in the eye, right? He values you at most because of your skills. Does he know why you have practiced this skill and how much you have suffered? You protected her for him, did he ever say a word of praise?"
Just as Huan Ling expected, the stubborn woman bit her lip tightly and said nothing, but her eyes were still fixed on Huan Ling, unwilling to move away. However, the unyielding look in her eyes had been replaced by another emotion without her noticing. It could be simply summarized in one word: love! Huan Ling was too familiar with the various emotions caused by "love", and the curve of her lips became deeper and deeper.
"You have to know that person is obviously nothing. Why can you change him? He changed, so he betrayed, right? Do n't you want to teach her a lesson? She doesn't deserve it, and she doesn't have the qualifications. I am only doing this on behalf of many people. I hope you are one of them, but I need your help. Just tell me where she is."
The woman had to admit that the words of the phantom had shaken her. She did not deny it, but she was still unwilling to speak. So she clenched her teeth, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would reveal everything. Once she did, she would be like the phantom in front of her, betraying that person. She knew that once she betrayed, it would be impossible to return to that person; therefore, she chose to remain silent. Even if she had never been looked at straight in the face, she would be satisfied as long as she could see that person.
