Madam let me die

The greatest cruelty in life is being a pawn.

All living beings, everyone seems to be unable to escape the fate of being a chess piece, but some chess pieces can decide the outcome and become the most dazzling one, while some... are destined to be abandoned.

This was the only answer Li Nanke could think of.

Li Donghai is the apparently abandoned pawn, he exists to protect Yu Shengtian.

But after the last transaction happened, Yu Shengtian's fate also changed.

His behavior revealed himself.

Also completely pushed himself into the dark abyss!

Boom!

Just when everyone thought everything was about to end, a dull explosion sounded suddenly, shaking the ground.

At the same time, a half-foot-wide crack extended from the forest. Like a python lurking underground, the crack came to everyone's feet in an instant.

In the next second, the crack broke open, and a terrifying monster rushed out!

The monster was tall and tall, covered with thick green fur all over its body.The head is slightly rectangular, like a combination of a cow and a crocodile.

YouQi's two round eyes are full of ferocity and cunning, shining with a green light like will-o'-the-wisps.

"careful!"

Leng Xinnan's expression changed, she grabbed Li Nanke's arm and hid back.

"It's the underworld!"

Seeing the monster appearing in front of him without any warning, Li Nanke immediately reacted and pointed at Yu Shengtian, "Don't let him run away!"

Several members of the Qinglong Division who had already arranged rushed out immediately.

But just half a step away, two more monsters appeared from the cracks in the ground, blocking everyone's route.

Li Nanke cursed secretly, reached out to touch his arms, and prepared to take Hongyu to deal with these monsters.

But when he touched it, he froze.

Pockets are empty!
No, I took three bottles of Red Rain on purpose this morning, why are they gone!
Before he could think, a gust of wind came.

An arrow whizzed like a startled rainbow, rushing towards Li Nanke violently with the sound of a sharp wind, splitting the surrounding airflow.

Fortunately, He Panjun who rushed over was by his side, pulling him to his side, barely dodging.

But the arrow headed towards Leng Xinnan!

Leng Xinnan, who was dealing with monsters with Meng Xiaotu, had no time to care.

"No, the target is Sister Leng!"

Li Nanke's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Miss Leng—"

Before the word "heart" was uttered, He Panjun's delicate wrist suddenly flipped up, and a small knife hit the arrow point accurately like a shooting star.

The skewed arrow pierced deeply into the nearby trees, and the shaft of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

Only then did Leng Xinnan, who was belatedly aware of it, come to her senses.

Seeing the arrows stuck in the trees, I broke out in a cold sweat, and cast a grateful look at He Panjun.

Li Nanke breathed a sigh of relief, turned to He Panjun and said, "Thank you."

"People ran away!"

He Panjun drank softly.

What?Li Nanke turned his head subconsciously, and saw Yu Shengtian running in another direction taking advantage of the confusion, his figure was extremely fast, after all, his cultivation was not low.

And he held a short-fired gun in his hand, which he got from nowhere.

"I'll go after it!"

Leng Xinnan shook off the entanglement of the monster and chased after Yu Shengtian.

Li Nanke wanted to step up to follow, but then his body lightened, and He Panjun held his arm.

"You idiot, you don't even know how to do light work, I'll help you."

The woman cursed in a low voice.

As the woman performed lightness kung fu, the two quickly shuttled between the trees. Subconsciously, Li Nanke hugged the woman's slender waist.

In the breath, the virgin body fragrance on the woman's body is like an unopened flower bud, fresh and peaceful.Li Nanke, who is a man, couldn't help taking two deep sniffs.

And this hug almost made He Panjun lose his breath.

Is this guy taking advantage of me?

But right now, he can't take care of too much, so he can only grit his teeth and continue to chase after Yu Shengtian.

…………

Yu Shengtian didn't know where to run, so he could only run aimlessly.

In the silent mountain forest, every sound is particularly obvious, and any wind blowing will make a creepy rustling sound.

Soon, he came to a nunnery.

Yunxiang nunnery.

This nunnery, Li Nanke, came here before to investigate the case of Bai Fenghuang's maidservant.

At that time, there was a maid named Que'er beside Bai Fenghuang. After being bullied, she became crazy and stupid, and was finally taken in by the abbot of Yunxiang Nunnery, Master Guanxin.

And here, Li Nanke also experienced some phantoms.

But Yu Shengtian didn't know this, after seeing the nunnery, he hesitated for a while, then climbed over the wall and entered.

At night, the nunnery looked very deserted.

A yellowish lantern illuminates a corner of the nunnery.The falling dust and the gradually dissipating cigarettes paint a peaceful picture under the dim light.

Yu Shengtian walked through the corridor, his back tightly pressed against the cold column wall, and his sweat-soaked clothes left damp marks on the stone wall.

In the long corridor, there is only the sound of lightly shaking lanterns when the wind blows.

The unique tranquil atmosphere of the monastery washed his heart.

Yu Shengtian looked up at the sky, his eyes glazed over.

The light that was trying to squeeze out from the gap in the thick clouds was like another him, obviously he had worked very hard, but he was still submerged in the darkness.

"Do you regret it?"

The man asked a question to himself.

Immediately, a bitter self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If the environment did not allow it, he would even want to laugh out loud.

But in the end, he still couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth were salty, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

"Yu Shengtian!"

The laughter naturally revealed his whereabouts in this silent night, and Leng Xinnan, who was following closely, found Yu Shengtian at a glance, and shouted coquettishly, "Don't run away!"

Yu Shengtian stepped harder, and his whole body instantly bounced up, like a kite flying in the air.

Swish!
One by one small nets were ejected from the weapon Leng Xinnan was holding, and were easily dodged by Yu Shengtian.

And the movement of the two of them also alarmed the nuns in Yunxiang nunnery.

Immediately afterwards, Li Nanke and others chased after him.

Although Yu Shengtian's cultivation was very high, but because he didn't want to hurt Leng Xinnan, he had to dodge, and was finally forced to the main courtyard of the nunnery.

At this time, a luxurious carriage happened to be parked outside.

Beside the carriage, a luxuriously dressed woman who seemed to have just finished burning incense was preparing to board the carriage.Seeing Yu Shengtian and the night watchmen who suddenly appeared, the woman screamed in fright.

Seeing this situation, Yu Shengtian, who had nowhere to go, rushed over like lightning and grabbed the woman by the neck.

In the dim light, the woman's delicate face is reflected.

It turned out to be Chu Yunxin, the prefect's concubine!
It was because of her denunciation that Li Donghai's identity was completely exposed, which led to a series of subsequent results.

I didn't expect to appear here at this time, apparently praying for the two dead daughters.

"do not come!"

Yu Shengtian's eyes were red, he pinched Chu Yunxin's neck and backed away again and again.

And the firecracker in the other hand was also pressed against the woman's forehead.

Seeing clearly that the kidnapped hostage was the magistrate's wife, Li Nanke and others hurriedly stopped and did not dare to approach, for fear that Yu Shengtian, who was in a hurry, would hurt him.

"Go away!"

Yu Shengtian scolded the terrified nuns behind him and retreated into a meditation room with the hostages.

He kicked the door shut, opened the window, and confronted the people outside coldly.

"Yu Shengtian, you are desperate, what else do you want to do?"

Li Nanke was helpless.

When pushed to a desperate situation, no matter how calm a person is, he will collapse and do radical things.

"Leave all of you! I don't care anymore! Bring my wife and children!"

Yu Shengtian shouted angrily with red eyes.

"Are you sure you want your wife and children to come? Are you sure you want them to see you like this?"

Li Nanke asked.

Yu Shengtian trembled his lips, but made no sound.

Chu Yunxin, who was strangled by the neck and became a hostage inexplicably, had a painful expression at the moment, and her face was full of helplessness and fear.

Her body was trembling, and her throat let out a silent wail, as if she might faint at any moment.

The eyes looking at Li Nanke and others were full of horror and pleading.

"So, what is your purpose for joining the underworld?" Li Nanke asked, staring at the maddened man, "Or, are you a member of the underworld from beginning to end?"

At this time, Yu Shengtian looked calmer.

He asked in a cold voice, "Li Nanke, what do you think we are working so hard in the Night Patrol Division for?"

Li Nanke looked at Leng Xinnan beside him, "Sister Leng, tell me."

He didn't want to answer such a question, but the one who was really qualified to answer it was an official like Leng Xinnan who only wanted to save the people who were killed by Hong Yu.

But before Leng Xinnan could answer, Yu Shengtian raised his hand, "Alright, I already know the answer."

"You do not know."

Leng Xinnan looked at each other with complicated eyes, her red lips parted slightly, "Do you think I would say that we are working so hard in the Night Patrol Division to save the common people?
Yes, but not all...

We do it for ourselves, but also for our family and friends.I don't want my loved one to die from a monster one day, nor do I want him to become a monster.

I don't want my future child to live in a nightmare, let alone experience the pain of the death of a loved one again!

Master Yu, I have seen your son, he is very smart.His greatest pride is that he has a heroic father who can protect his father.

But now, if your son sees this scene, what will he think? "

The woman's words made Yu Shengtian fall into a long silence.

And then, he laughed wildly again, and tears came out of the laughter.

"In the 21st year of Tianwu, on the second day of September, I took my brothers to Chaigou Village to kill three monsters and save 47 villagers!

In the 23rd year of Tianwu, on New Year's Eve, I killed monsters alone in Changjiao Mountain and rescued four hunters.That time, my leg was broken and I was almost permanently disabled!

In the 24th year of Tianwu, in order to save the children in the school, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma for six full days before waking up!
It was also in the 24th year of Tianwu..."

Yu Shengtian talked about everything he had experienced in the past over and over again, every word seemed to be squeezed out by gritting his teeth and dipping in anger.

The crowd was silent.

No one questioned that the former Yu Shengtian really risked his life to protect those people.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone feels sorry.

"Li Nanke, you are very smart, you should understand that the current night watchman is dead."

Yu Shengtian said excitedly, "We tried our best to do what we should do, but in the end it was just a bargaining chip used by others to gain power! Tell me, what can we get in exchange for doing this!?"

Li Nanke sighed: "If you want to know the answer, let go of the prefect's wife and go back with me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"It's too late."

"not late!"

Li Nanke looked sincerely, "I can help you, trust me, sir, you shouldn't end up like this. You can do many things."

But Yu Shengtian just shook his head and smiled wryly.

Leng Xinnan said: "I will protect you! I will let you continue to stay in the night patrol department. As long as you help us catch the underworld, I will definitely protect you! Let you start again."

Yu Shengtian was stunned, staring at the woman in a daze.

Here, it seems that the only person he can trust is Leng Xinnan.

Seeing the effect, Leng Xinnan hurriedly said: "I swear, if I can't do it, I will be hit by thunder!

Yu Shengtian, think about your family, think about your son, you don't need to care about us, but don't let your son down, okay?You still have a way out, trust me. "

"Can I start over?"

Yu Shengtian's expression softened a little.

The muzzle of the firecracker against the hostage's forehead was also shaking slowly, shifting a little.

But when everyone thought that he would choose to give up, Yu Shengtian showed a bit of struggle on his face.The hand holding the firecracker was tense, and killing intent appeared in his eyes again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Nanke shouted: "Yu Shengtian, don't do anything stupid!"

Yu Shengtian raised his head abruptly, staring straight at Li Nanke with a bitter expression. "Li Nanke, last time you asked me why I wanted to save Leng Xinnan. I can tell you the answer right now..."

Yu Shengtian looked at Leng Xinnan with tears in his eyes, and said slowly, "Because she is the only one who is willing to do things wholeheartedly in the night patrol.

She is like me before, not afraid of anyone, not shrinking from any difficulties.

But I hate her very much!Why hate?
Obviously we used to be the same people, why can you, Leng Xinnan, persevere, but I, Yu Shengtian, can't!
Because you have such a good brother!

You have a good brother! !

I don't have it, I don't have anything!That's why I'm jealous of you, that's why I hate you.

But sometimes..."

The emotional Yu Shengtian choked up, his crying voice was full of anger and unwillingness, but also somewhat relieved and tender,
"Sometimes I really admire you, and I hope you can keep going and never forget your original intention.

So you can't die, so I am willing to save you sincerely.If you die, there is really no hope for the Night Watchman, there is nothing left..."

Yu Shengtian's voice floated in the silent night, making everyone silent.

However, Li Nanke had a strong premonition of uneasiness.

Yu Shengtian sniffled, looked up at the sky, saw the bright moonlight peeking out at unknown time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the next second, he pressed the firecracker to his forehead.

"God to hell with you!!"

boom!
With an unwilling roar, red and white splashed and sprinkled on the Buddha statue.

There was dead silence!
Everyone was stunned, as if they hadn't expected such a result at all.

Leng Xinnan was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief.

Li Nanke also opened his mouth.

He felt that all the sounds around him were blocked at this moment, only the humming vibration of the eardrum.

Why did he commit suicide?

Obviously he gave up.

why?
The other members of the Night Patrol Division reacted and ran to look after the frightened and screaming wife of the prefect.

Leng Xinnan and the others rushed over to check Yu Shengtian's body.

At this time, other members of the Night Patrol Division also arrived one after another, including two high-ranking officials from the capital, Jing Benhai and Lan Minsheng.

After learning that the magistrate's wife was kidnapped, she came in a hurry and was relieved to see that Chu Yunxin was fine.

Li Nanke was still standing there like a stake.

He didn't respond to the people around talking to him, only the lingering sound of mosquitoes.

And, countless doubts welled up in my heart.

Why did he choose to commit suicide?

why?
why?
why! ?

Swish!
A piercing light passed through the man's mind, tearing apart the thick dark clouds and revealing some truth.

Li Nanke seemed to have guessed something, and his body trembled unconsciously.

On the other side, the frightened Chu Yunxin was being comforted by Lan Minsheng, "Mrs. Chu, the magistrate will be here soon, and we will arrange a carriage to take you off."

The woman nodded slightly, her body was still stained with blood, she looked very charming.

At this time, Li Nanke suddenly came over.

Under the puzzled eyes of Jing Benhai, Lan Minsheng and everyone else, he suddenly picked up the firecracker and pointed it at Chu Yunxin!
"It's you!"
