Konoha Aogen

In the morning of the next day, six members of the "Konoha Family" gathered in the "Meeting Hall" located near the "Silver Bank" of the Night Palace, which was almost never used after it was built. Neither Ye Xuan nor Mu Qing'er liked overly solemn occasions, so family discussions were mostly held in Mu and Ye's house.

Ghost Moth has been kneeling on the "dark green malachite floor" all night. The blood on his hands was wiped away, but his clothes had not been changed. He was still barefoot and bare arms, and his whole body was dark red. Seeing Gui Mo kneeling in the hall, Ye Xuan unconsciously thought of "Gan Tian's" scimitar, which was also a "dark green scabbard, inlaid with dark rubies." After returning to the city, the scimitar had been taken by Ghost Moth as his own.

The "meeting hall" is not very big, and it is empty inside. Even the seats were brought in in the morning. Mu Qing'er didn't sit down. She stood behind Ye Xuan, her right hand lightly resting on the back of the chair. She felt much more comfortable. Mu Qing'er refused to sit down, and Ying, Xing, and Yan couldn't sit down either, so they simply gathered around the two of them. The afterimage was still next to Ye Xuan, while Han Xing and Lone Goose accompanied Mu Qing'er.

"I will tolerate you if you leave the army to you and do nothing but pay the bills; if you go to Xixia Mountain and act like Ding Lan, disobeying orders and being arrogant, I will tolerate you; but yesterday you... you were so fucking... What's the difference between you and the 'Four Spears of the Wind' for doing such a thing? If you don't get cured, the 'Konoha Family' will sooner or later bring disaster to you and become as disreputable as the 'Feng Family'!" Ye Xuan got angrier as he scolded you. , the finger pointing at Ghost Moth trembled slightly.

Gui Mo knew that Ye Xuan was really angry this time. Even though he was hungry and thirsty, he still knelt straight, just hoping to get a cheaper deal: "Young master, don't be angry. I admit my mistake and my punishment." ..." Gui Mo glanced at Ye Xuan pitifully, and when his eyes touched, he lowered his head again.

"You decide for yourself how to punish me!"

Gui Mo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Kneeling alone all night, she had not thought about what would happen to her. However, it was really difficult for him to say it. If he said it lightly, he might make Ye Xuan even more angry. If he said it seriously... At this point, Gui Mo had no mercy or guilt for the handsome businessman who died in his hands.

"Put her in a prison cell for three months!" Afterimage saw the ghost moth faltered and couldn't speak. He pointed his right hand at the tip of her nose and scolded her fiercely. It seemed as if he had some deep grudge against her, as if what he was talking about was some heinous punishment.

Ye Xuan glared at him angrily, and the afterimage's outstretched arm immediately retracted obediently, and his movements looked very funny. She just wanted to disrupt the solemn atmosphere in the venue.

"Remove from the post of head of the 'Security Corps'. Twenty whips and a hundred days of imprisonment!" As soon as the words came out, Ye Xuan secretly cursed himself for his incompetence. "Why should I glare at Xiaoying? Gui Mo was blatantly killing indiscriminately in the 'Inner City', and was whipped twenty times? The place where she killed people in public was across the street from the 'City Lord's Mansion', and she was imprisoned for a hundred days? What does that have to do with a reward? Difference? But, what can I do with her...? Should I kill her according to the city law?" For this favoritism and perversion of the law, Yuan made up his mind all night long and ordered forty lashes. When the words reached his mouth, he cut them in half again.

"Also, sell all her belongings, except for the 'Ghost Cry' and this set of clothes, and pay the merchant!"

Gui Mo suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, with resentment in his eyes. Although the flogging was terrifying, it was already in her mind. After all, there was a lesson learned from the afterimage. You can sell your property, but it's a big surprise. Thinking that all these decades of hard work would come to nothing in the blink of an eye, it felt like being struck by lightning, and I was filled with shock and anger.

Ye Xuan stood up from the chair with a roar, took a few steps forward and slapped Gui Moth hard on the face.

"What? Do you think I'm bullying you? Try looking at me like that again!" He pointed at Gui Moth with his right hand, his eyes were about to burst, and he was furious.

Upon seeing this, Afterimage hurriedly ran forward to hold Ye Xuan. "Young Master, don't...don't be so angry." Even when "Mo Wen Pagoda" leaked the secret, Ye Xuan had never been so angry.

Ye Xuan's anger was real, but it had nothing to do with the businessman from the Western Regions who died innocently and in vain. First, because of Qingchen, what happened last night, if Qingchen was controlled by Gui Mo... he didn't dare to think about what would happen next; second, because Gui Mo was coming over there in the future, and if she continued to behave like this, she might attract... A fatal disaster.

Ghost Moth was stunned by the sudden slap, and was stunned for a while.

He held his swollen left cheek and cried softly. The tears came more and more crazily, but I was too scared to speak out.

Afterimage raised his right foot and kicked the kneeling Gui Moth down, cursing in his mind: "Aren't you pretty good at pretending on weekdays? How could you be so stupid at the critical moment? Slapping you in the face instead of knocking you down is just to make you suffer. Or do you want to wait and be beaten again?" Then he carefully guided Ye Xuan back to the chair with half support and half support, as if he was an old man who could be knocked down by a breeze.

The feet were dirty, the sleeves were torn, the stains were messy, and the cheeks were swollen; the whole body was dark red and trembling on the ground, and the sobs were in the throat. Looking at the ghost moth in front of him, Ye Xuan seemed to see a little girl who was abandoned by her mother on the street and was bullied but did not even dare to beg loudly. She was scolded so hard that she could no longer utter a single word. He closed his eyes and tried to slow down the flow of his inner breath to calm his mind.

"Young Master, calm down." Han Xing read out the four words without emotion, like a child memorizing poetry in the library.

No one expected Han Xing to speak on such an occasion. "Is she comforting me? Impossible. Is she begging for mercy?" Ye Xuan couldn't figure it out, but he was grateful that Han Xing temporarily attracted everyone's attention.

"The sentence will be carried out tonight. After the beating, he will be thrown directly into the cell and treated like other prisoners." Ye Xuan tried his best to hide his emotions, threw out a cold instruction, then turned around and fled the "meeting hall".

"Let's see if you dare to do it yourself this time." Afterimage looked at Ye Xuan's clearly slender and straight back, but in his own eyes, he always felt that it was not straight enough, and secretly cursed. "If he really does it himself, does it mean that he loves me more or the little moth?"

Mu Qing'er also followed Ye Xuan. When passing by Gui Mo, he stopped and looked at her for a while.

"You..." Lone Goose wanted to say something to Gui Moth, but finally shook her head and followed Han Xing out, deliberately keeping a distance from the front without any need for greetings.

After Ye Xuan and Mu Qing'er left, Gui Mo finally fell to the ground and cried loudly. Afterimage knelt on the ground, leading her to put her face on his knees. He didn't say any words of comfort, but only gently stroked the thick messy hair.

"I'm going to get you some food. I didn't tell you to continue kneeling, so you don't have to kneel. Don't sit on the chair and huddle in the corner." When the ghost moth's cries gradually subsided, the afterimage pretended to be He said in a nonchalant tone.

Seeing that the afterimage came back with only a water bag and a basket of noodles, Gui Mo's eyes showed disappointment. Afterimage couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger: "You always know what's good for yourself, but what's going on now, are you still picky?"

The experience of eating "mud cakes" as a child made Ghost Moth dislike cake-shaped food. Her favorite things to eat are "honey cakes" and "meat, eggs, and milk" from various animals. In fact, they are all luxuries that ordinary craftsmen in the city can reach on tiptoe. On the contrary, delicacies such as "Frost Sunflower and Velvet Mushroom" that could attract the attention of "Xue Rang and Shan Jun" were bland and tasteless to her, and they were not satisfying at all.

At this time, Gui Mo was hungry in his belly and thirsty in his mouth. He didn't care much about it, and munched on the bread with warm water in the bag.

"Hey? You swallow the cake and then drink the water! How can I drink like this?" Afterimage felt a little regretful, so she just took a water bag from the dining room.

"I won't go to the Mo Wen Pagoda today. I will just sit here on the cold stone floor and eat cake with you. I don't have as much meat on my butt as you do, and it hurts like hell. You must be grateful for this kindness. , It’s better if you don’t forget it.” Afterimage pretended to be relaxed and teased Gui Moth, hoping to ease the fear in her heart.

When Afterimage put the last corner of the first pancake into his mouth, Ghost Moth had already picked up the fourth one. Afterimage sat quietly aside, watching Gui Moth eat the fourth and fifth noodle cakes. She always liked to see the ghost moth looking useless when eating, especially this time... the cake was brought by herself, which made her feel a kind of "feeding" happiness.

There was still one noodle cake left in the food basket, and Gui Mo finally stopped reaching for it, and just poured the warm water in the leather bag into his mouth like a big drink. In this meal, I only enjoyed the pleasure of chewing and swallowing, but my taste buds did not get any decent stimulation.

Ghost Moth sat against the wall, feeling satisfied and frustrated at the same time. I don’t know if Young Master just said that he was angry when he said, “He was thrown directly into the cell after being beaten and treated like other prisoners.” If that's true

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

, I’m afraid this pancake will be the best meal in a hundred days.

Thinking of this, she took out the last piece of bread from the basket, rolled it into a paper bucket, and deepthroated the front piece into her mouth. This method of eating cakes is firstly to avoid the association with "mud cakes", and secondly, it was practiced in "Guxungfang" since childhood. There is one meal a day at "Guxufang". The food is vulgar and not limited. But there were too many children in the square, so everyone was divided into batches and took turns eating in the kitchen. The time for each meal is limited, so eat quickly so you can eat more.

Afterimage watched with relish as Gui Mo swallowed the last piece of dough pancake like a slut, feeling extremely happy in his heart. He laughed and cursed, "Do you think you're going to die for eating like this?"

"If you don't have enough to eat, you might as well die." Gui Mo said resentfully, stroking his uncomfortable belly.

Afterimage rolled his eyes at her lightly: "You call it self-inflicted. Before the 'Executive Court' was handed over to you, it was just a place of execution and imprisonment. 'Food or not' is the rule you set, right? Are you still following it?" Each person's body shape is suitable for porridge. Humph, it just so happens that I am a hungry ghost whose body shape and appetite are completely inconsistent."

Before Gui Moth could speak, Afterimage looked at her expression and refused directly: "Young Master is angry, don't expect me to give you food."

"That...what does it feel like?" The fear, diluted by overeating and overeating, slowly crawled back into Ghost Moth's internal organs. On normal days, with the cruel methods of "Lord Moth" of the Security Corps, a mere vine whip in her prop room would not even be worthy of being thrown in the corner to gather ashes. However, over the years, her ability to "endure pain" has obviously not improved along with her ability to "create pain." The battle with "Zhou Lian" has confirmed this point without a doubt.

Afterimage tried his best to avoid this topic, but found that it couldn't be avoided. Over the years, her skin no longer remembers how severe the pain was at that time, but a thought flashed through her mind at that time, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life - if one day I fall into the hands of the enemy, I'm afraid I won't be a human being. A hero who would rather die than surrender.

As a planner who manipulates the fate of others, Can Ying believes that the punishment was a very important growth for him. After that, she gained a deeper understanding of the human will and body.

But this is not the time to discuss this with Xiao Mo: "Everyone's feeling is different. It's like being licked by a goat on the soles of your feet. For Zhou Lian, it's obviously a torture that makes her worse than death, but I think it's quite fun. Damn it. By the way, how did you guess at once that Zhou Lian was afraid of this?"

"I can't tell, it's just a feeling. The young master said he wanted to interrogate her, and goats popped into my head." Gui Mo said softly.

"Well, how many people have to be tortured to get such an intuition. After this, you can consider it a small retribution." Afterimage tried his best to pretend to be frivolous and sarcastic, and then found that when he was really concerned, his emotions were so... This kind of tool is not as easy to control as in "Mowen Tower".

"I don't know if I can comfort you by saying this. The Vine Whip... shouldn't be as powerful as the 'Jin Hand'." Afterimage no longer pretended to be calm and calm.

"Hiss..." Gui Mo took a deep breath: "Stop talking, it's not comforting at all."

"I'm sorry." Afterimage apologized. "I know that 'waiting' is more painful than 'executing'. Try to sleep for a while. If you can fall asleep, you will suffer less." Afterimage feels that no matter who is executing the execution at night, Gui Moth is the most I'll just stay in the "meeting hall" and wait for someone to pick it up.

Afterimage moved his body and sat against the wall side by side with Ghost Moth. Ghost Moth lay obediently on his side, resting his right cheek, which was not red or swollen, on Afterimage's straight thigh. Afterimage's lower abdomen immediately felt a burning breath. She stretched out her right hand, caressed Gui Mo's neck, and used her not-so-skilled "Yin Feng Finger" to massage two key points on the back of her neck that could easily cause fainting. Slowly, the ghost moth's messy breath became gentle and orderly, and then fell into sleep.
