Chapter 12 The Lights Dim

"Put me down." Zheng Ze lay on Ling Jun's back, gritting his teeth. "Don't let go." Lingjun tightened his hands around his thighs. Well, my wife’s hand feels really good. People coming and going all over the street paid attention to Lingjun and the two. Lin'er was running and jumping not far ahead, with Zigui carefully accompanying him . The street lights gradually turned on, and a group of people's long figures appeared on the stone road. The fragrance of food from every house wafted out and lingered in the nose. "Xiao Zhengze." In the dim light, Ling Jun suddenly softened his voice. "Huh?" Zhengze's voice came from behind. "Can we, a family of three, never be separated, okay?" Ling Jun asked cautiously. Lingjun hoped that Zhengze could reply to him with a "hello", even a simple "hmm", but he didn't. He just remained silent for a long time, and said word by word in a cold tone that Lingjun could not hear the emotion: "Yun Zhongjun, I think you have really misunderstood. I have nothing to do with you." Lingjun looked up to the sky and smiled - it's okay , it's okay , the future is long. "Meow——" A shrill meow sounded, Ling Jun lowered his head, and sure enough, at his feet was Ayan, who was staring angrily at Ling Jun's back. "You brat, where did you go? You're back now!" Lingjun lightly kicked Ayan. Ayan let out an aggrieved whimper, and Lingjun was distracted. Zhengze had slipped off his back, and after he stood still, he pinched Lingjun's waist hard again. Lingjun endured the pain and looked at him with a smile. He tried to hug his waist, but he pushed him away. "Dad, do you want to eat noodles?" Lin'er stood in front of a noodle stall, pointing at the steaming boiler with one little finger and looking at the Lingjuns . "Hey, this young master wants to eat noodles? Come and sit, come and sit, I just made new noodles here." The noodle stall owner is a middle-aged man who looks honest and kind. He is inviting Lin'er to come and sit in the noodle stall. " Lin'er , do you want to eat the noodles here?" Lingjun squatted down and asked. Lin'er nodded . The group of them sat down under the tent in front of the noodle stall. Although this noodle stall was open on the roadside, it was kept very clean, and Lingjun was very satisfied. "Here comes the noodles - you guys, tell me what you want." After a while, the noodle stall owner came over quickly holding a big plate, and several steaming bowls of thin noodles were placed on each side one by one. in front of people. Lin'er's appetite was still small, so Lingjun took half a bowl of noodles from his bowl and put it into his own bowl. Zhengze sat opposite Lingjun, elegantly took out several pairs of wooden chopsticks from the chopstick holder , wiped them one by one with his handkerchief , and then distributed them to everyone. Well, virtuous. Lingjun looked at Zhengze who was eating noodles slowly and sat across from him, feeling very satisfied. Zhengze raised his head and glanced at Lingjun strangely . Lingjun hurriedly picked up the noodles in the bowl with a smile. "Hey, little Zhengze, can you eat spicy food so well? Do you like spicy food?" Lingjun watched in surprise as Zhengze almost hollowed out the small seasoning jar with oily chili peppers on the table. Zhengze was stunned for a moment, then said "Yeah". Why hadn't he noticed it before? Since entering the mortal world, Zhengze has always ordered food every time he ate, and all he ordered were the light dishes he likes to eat. He always thought that Zhengze's taste was the same as his... No wonder he ate very little every time he ate. It turned out to be It tastes tasteless, but why doesn't he order spicy food? Could it be... Looking at Zhengze's handsome face in the mist of the mist , Ling Jun's heart softened: "Xiao Zhengze, have you been accommodating to my taste these days?" Zhengze stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Lingjun . Through the mist, Lingjun couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only hear his cold voice that was still cold: "You think too much." Lingjun gave a big smile - he had a tough mouth. "Master, look over there, something is strange." Zigui pointed in a direction in the distance with a solemn tone. Lingjun and Zhengze looked up and saw a black mist gathering in the distant sky, darkening the surrounding night sky. The traces of evil spirit seeping out of the black mist are very strange. "Master, may I ask which direction that is?" Ling Jun pointed to that place and asked the noodle stall owner. "Oh, that's the direction of the palace." The boss glanced at it, and his words were a little cryptic, "I heard that the emperor recently...sigh...won't say it anymore, won't say it anymore..." Lingjun and Zhengze looked at each other. It seemed that their previous guess was correct . There was indeed something strange in this mortal palace. Zigui also held his sword aside and said nothing. The round eyes in Ayan's kitten eyes shrank into a line. Lin'er suddenly shouted that the noodles were not delicious and she should not eat them. Lingjun came back to his senses, took Lin'er 's bowl of noodles and took a bite. It tasted very good and the soup was not hot. He had been eating it just now, so why did it suddenly taste bad? "It's not delicious, it's not delicious, it just isn't delicious... Daddy, I don't want to eat it anymore..." Lin'er twisted his chubby little body and protested with a bitter face. It seems that the luxurious living in the Dragon Palace has really spoiled this kid. "Good boy, Lin'er , listen to what Daddy says. We can't waste food. This is all grown by mortals with great effort. We can't let them down, okay? Daddy will feed you, come..." Lingjun coaxed him patiently. Unexpectedly, Lin'er pushed the noodles in Lingjun's hand away, pouted and said nothing, and the tears just fell down. Lingjun frowned , it seemed that this boy's stubborn temper was getting worse. Dragon's tears are very precious. It's a good thing to come to him. It's like giving them away for free . Although Zhengze was silent on the side, his eyes showed concern. " Lin'er , are you crying like this to demonstrate to daddy?" Lingjun put down the half-empty noodle bowl, looked at Lin'er and said seriously: " Lin'er , if you have an idea, you can speak it out and we can solve it together. But you cry all the time, which means you don't give me a chance to solve the problem with you. You cry, not because you are sad, but because you want to use it. Cry to force Daddy to listen to you." Lin'er lowered his head and shed more tears, but as soon as the tears fell, he wiped them away with his fat little hands. Unexpectedly, the tears fell more and more as they were wiped away. By the end, Lin'er's face was red with anger. Ayan jumped into Lin'er's arms and stretched out her pink tongue to help Lin'er lick her tears. Lin'er picked up Ayan's little body and blew her nose on Ayan's white cat fur. Ayan's eyes were dull. "Pfft——" Ling Jun couldn't help but lose his serious expression. After hugging Lin'er , Lingjun coaxed : "Okay, okay, don't cry. This is your first offence. Your father, I won't argue with you, and I won't spare you next time." Lin'er turned his little head away and ignored Lingjun. Zigui opened his mouth at the side, but stopped talking. Zhengze still had a cold face, showing no emotion. Lingjun and Zhengze Tengyun flew towards the palace, but as soon as they arrived at the palace, the demonic energy that was still leaking out disappeared in an instant. Lu Tong's big disaster tonight is that he has an affair with the Privy Councilor and forces the palace to seize the throne. Then Lu Tong becomes the emperor and secretly divides the empire with the Privy Councilor. This Lu Tong, under his seemingly elegant and uncontested appearance, is really ambitious. "Have you decided what to do with him?" Lingjun was lying on the high palace wall, looking at the dark palace city, and asked Zhengze, who was standing straight beside him, thiefly. "Three thunderbolts split the body in front of everyone , captured the soul, sent it to the underworld, and threw it into the animal realm. It will never escape forever." Zhengze stood proudly on the palace wall, looking up at the starry sky, and said with an awe-inspiring attitude. "Well, Xiao Zhengze, we are going to take Lu Tong's life quietly after all. Can you lie down and hide your whereabouts?" Ling Jun suggested sincerely. "You don't know how to use the invisibility spell?" Zhengze smiled mockingly at Lingjun. … At this moment, the huge palace, with only one or two lights on, was eerily silent. Suddenly, thousands of torches lit up. Lingjun's eyes were suddenly dazzled by the open flames, and the sound of golden axes suddenly sounded in his mind - Lingjun seemed to have experienced this scene before... "Let's go!" Zhengze on the side pulled up Lingjun, cast an invisibility spell, and quickly landed on the main hall surrounded by heavy fire. The layers of fire that seemed to fill the sky in front of him made Lingjun's mind buzz. Something seemed to be rushing out, screaming and crashing in Lingjun's mind. Lingjun pushed himself up and looked down. below. Zhengze glanced at Lingjun and saw that Lingjun's expression was natural, and he stared down again. "My dear, what are you doing?" A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe ran out of the dormitory in a panic. When he saw the situation outside the palace, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. "Zhao Hou! You live in a corner, don't want to make progress, are stupid and ignorant, and bring disaster to the country and the people. Why don't you let us and other sages take your place!" When Lu Tong said this, Ling Jun couldn't help but blush for him. Looking at the people around him, they all lowered their heads and said nothing, showing embarrassment. "My dear, you, you, you can't do this! You..." The cowardly emperor has reached this point and doesn't even have the brains to scold anyone. Alas. "You bastards! You bunch of thieves deceived the emperor and forced the palace to usurp the throne. Aren't you afraid of the law of heaven and the reincarnation of retribution?" A heroic woman, neatly dressed, stepped out of the palace, put her hands on her hips, and cursed at the people in front of the palace. "Queen, Queen, please save me ..." As soon as the emperor saw the woman coming, he crawled around and hugged the woman's thigh , crying sadly. "Get up! You are the emperor, you are crying like this!" The queen frowned, and picked up her husband at her feet. The emperor was dragged to his feet, still crying, looking crookedly as if he was about to die again. To collapse to the ground. Lingjun couldn't help but shook his head and sighed - it was really embarrassing for the emperor to treat him like this. " Hahaha , reincarnation of retribution? I am heaven, I am God! Who dares to disobey me? Li, don't be so arrogant, kill this dog emperor, you will be next! I will let you taste what it means to be righteous. , The wheel of retribution..." "Boom, boom, boom -" Three thunderbolts struck down, and Lu Tong, who had been laughing to the sky just now, had the last word "hui" stuck in his throat, and was instantly turned into an upright charred corpse. Probably no one thought that there would be such a dramatic reversal in the end. Everyone was stunned for a while and didn't know how to continue. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Lingjun happily waved to the widow Lei Mu hiding in the clouds on the horizon. Lei Mu held the sky-shattering thunder hammer, glared at Lingjun disdainfully , twisted her hips and flew away in the clouds. Lingjun lowered his head in frustration. How could he, the second most beautiful man in heaven, end up in such a deserted state? well-- "Let's go, let's go. We have nothing to do. Let's go home and sleep." I don't know who yelled, and the soldiers below who were still excited just now dispersed immediately. The cowardly emperor finally reacted and shouted heartbreakingly: "Foreign troops, take down all these traitors for me!" There was a loud sound in the palace, and Lu Tong's charred body was trampled back and forth by the fleeing people, and was about to be crushed into pulp. Zheng Ze glanced at Lingjun , reached out and grabbed the direction of Lu Tong's charred corpse. After a moment, a stunned voice sounded behind them: "What is going on? Who are you?
