His Royal Highness

Chapter 54 LIII. Darkness

Chu Xique rode Shanyu to Lancheng Wharf. At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the stars were twinkling in the sky, but the moon was a little rounder than before.

He dismounted and walked to the beach. The reason why he came here was that he hoped that he could appear soon.

Chu Xique took out the string of small bells from his pocket, took a deep breath, and was about to ring it when suddenly a voice came from beside him.

"Vice Minister Chu?"

Chu Xique clenched the bell tightly, and turned around to see a familiar face beside him.

"Lord Carlton." Chu Xique smiled slightly upon seeing the other party, "Why are you here?"

"I just came to Lancheng to do something, and I'm about to leave after I've finished. Vice Minister Chu, this is...?" Carlton replied.

"Well, come out at night and let the horses go." Chu Xique pointed to Shan Yu behind him.

"Ah, that's how it is." Carlton nodded and looked at the boats that were mooring at the pier. "I won't bother Vice Minister Chu when the boats arrive. I'll go first."

"My lord, go slowly." Chu Xique waved his hand.

It's so late and there are ships docking?Chu Xique was puzzled, and at this moment Carlton suddenly turned back and said, "Look at my memory, I seem to have forgotten to give Vice Minister Chu something."

"Huh? What?" The moment Chu Xique turned his head to look at Carlton, Carlton suddenly raised his hand as if spilling something, Chu Xique subconsciously turned his head away, but it was too late, and his eyes stinged instantly.

"Well!"

This is bad!

Shan Yu's terrified neighing sound came from beside his ear, and Chu Xique slapped his hands like a bet. He was relieved when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves fading away, but there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and Chu Xique lost it in an instant. perception.

When Chu Xique woke up drowsy, he slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were still pitch black. He seemed to be tied to a chair, and he couldn't even rub his eyes. Chu Xique closed his eyes tightly and shook his head. Shaking his head, he opened it again, it was still dark, Chu Xique took a breath, he probably realized something.

He is blind.

Fortunately, after too many things happened, Chu Xique was calm enough to face any situation.

The floor shook slightly, and there was a faint sound of water not far away, indicating that he was on a boat now.

"Are you awake? Vice Minister Chu." A voice came from not far ahead.

"Carlton?" Chu Xique frowned, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, but he couldn't see it, and didn't know what happened.

"Can't you really see it? It's worthy of being the No. 1 doctor in the Crusades back then. The medicinal powder he concocted works really well," Carlton said.

The medicine powder made by Mingyoushan?Chu Xique's heart trembled, he took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "So, you are the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"It's a flattering word to use," Carlton said.

"Why?" Chu Xique asked.

"Don't you know? He didn't tell you?" Carlton was still surprised, "Ha, but of course, no one wants to let his beloved know his ugliest appearance."

Chu Xique was still a little puzzled at first, but at the end of hearing it, he suddenly realized something.

"Let me tell you a story, Deputy Minister Chu." Carlton said, "I used to be a pacifist. I opposed war and yearned for world peace. I joined the Crusades just to stop the war."

"16 years ago, the war started in my hometown. We fought fiercely with the vampires, but human beings were no match for the vampires. We were in a rather passive state."

"Suddenly, I heard an explosion coming from the direction of my house. I was worried about my family, so I rushed over to have a look."

"Do you know what I saw? My house was all on fire. The fire was raging. I was so frightened that I rushed into the house to find my family regardless of the fire."

"I found them, right on the floor in the living room, my grandmother, father, mother, brother, sister, and my brother's newborn child, without exception, all fell on the floor with their eyes open. , I think they must have been screaming in terror before they died, right?"

"And then I also saw, in the fire..."

Chu Xique closed his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

"That bright red figure, and the golden eyes."

Red clothes and golden eyes, Louis.

The air fell into a lengthy silence. Chu Xique pursed his lips, suppressing the shock in his heart, and slowly said, "So you mean... Louis killed your whole family?"

"You know, Xinyuehong is good at changing and erratic as he pleases, so I haven't been able to find where he is since then. Even squatting in the Red City was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but thank God, you showed up, Vice Minister Chu, I I want to thank you, it was you who helped me find him, that day when Xin Yuehong took you to the Red City."

That time, Chu Xique met Carlton in the Red City.

At that time, Carlton also saw Chu Xique, and Louis who looked like himself, and Chu Xique got into the car of Louis' family.

Chu Xique's body trembled slightly, and his heart beat uncontrollably. He thought of Louis receiving An Luoer, Louis attended the highest meeting, and used his real self in public, all because of him!

"He seems to have a deep affection for you, Deputy Minister Chu, so if you are in danger, will he come immediately?" Carlton asked.

Chu Xique took a breath for a moment, at this moment he finally understood, finally understood that Ming Youshan kept him away from Louis, and finally understood why Ming Youshan told him not to go to Louis because someone said that someone was going to use him.

As a result, he did not listen to Ming Youshan again.

"It's really curious, so let's experiment?" Carlton said, "What is this? Is it a token of love between the two of you? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you can't see it now. It's a string of small bells."

Chu Xique's heart tightened suddenly, and he couldn't help shouting: "Stop!!"

"I'm afraid it's too late."

The bell rang.

Chu Xique's heart was beating wildly, and his bound hands clenched into fists.

Do not come!Do not come!I beg you, you must not come!

Chu Xique murmured in his heart countless times, but it was useless. He could already feel the sound of the surging waves and howling wind outside the boat.

The gun bolt sounded, less than twenty centimeters away in front of him.

"Boom!" A loud noise came from above the head, and suddenly there was a gust of wind pouring into the room. It seemed that some kind of spell lifted the roof of the cabin.

"I advise you to stop Crescent Moon Red! You don't want to see your lover get shot in the head?!"

This guy!

Chu Xique scolded Carlton a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, and scolded all kinds of foul words.

"What do you want..." Louis' voice came from mid-air, with indifference and suppressed anger.

"What are you doing? You should ask yourself, what did you do 16 years ago? Don't you remember?" Carlton sneered. A few inconspicuous humans that I killed."

Louis frowned slightly: "That person was you back then."

"It's surprising that you still remember."

"It's really difficult for people to think of you when you're so old," Louis said helplessly, "And I didn't kill your family, it really wasn't me."

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe what vampires say?!"

"So what do you want to do?" Louis said.

"What else can I do?" Carlton looked at Louis, and said word by word, "Six lives, blood debt!"

Chu Xique's heart tightened.

"What are you driving..."

Before Louis finished speaking, a gunshot rang out suddenly.

There was a bang on the ground.

"What's wrong? Louis?!" Chu Xique's heart tightened, he couldn't see now, and didn't know what happened.

"It's okay." Louis took a deep breath. There was already a large piece of blood on the right wing behind him. He bit his lower lip and retracted the wing. He stood up slowly, and his voice became colder, "What's wrong with his eyes?"

"I don't think Vice Minister Chu would want to see the next scene." Carlton said, holding a gun in each hand, the gun in his left hand pointed at Chu Xique's forehead, and the other in the other hand. Gun, pointed at Louis.

"I asked you what happened to his eyes." Louis raised his voice a little.

"Crescent Moon Red, you'd better see where you stand now," Carlton said unhurriedly, "If I'm in a good mood, I might tell you, but now, I'm going to shoot, who should I hit? , you should be very clear, right?"

Gunshots sounded.

Chu Xique's heart tensed up, and his heart beat violently, but he only heard one gunshot incessantly, including the first one, there were a total of eight shots. Did that blow out all the bullets in the gun?

Unable to bear it, Louis took a few steps back and leaned against the railing of the ship, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, from his shoulders, chest and abdomen to his legs, all of the seven gunshot wounds were missing, and all of them avoided the fatal parts. The blood stained his red clothes. The dye was more vivid, and the severe pain made him unconscious, but he still resisted and did not cry out.

"Louis! How are you, Luis?" Chu Xique shouted several times.

Louis gritted his teeth and endured the pain, trying to avoid the ups and downs of his voice: "It's okay, I'm fine."

"Amazing, can you do this for him?" Carlton nodded lightly and shook his head. At this time, his subordinates had already handed over a second gun loaded with bullets and pulled the bolt. Carlton aimed the gun again. Lewis.

You can't hide, if you hide, he might shoot Chu Xique!

Gunshots sounded again.

"Louis! Louis!" Chu Xique yelled a few more times, but he couldn't hear Louis' voice, only heard the gunshot, did he avoid being shot?But the severe throbbing pain in his chest made Chu Xique not think that it would be such a simple matter.

"It's okay..." Blood gushed out onto the deck, Louis covered the wound with his hand, blood stained his entire hand, and finally fell to the ground.

"As expected of the first prince of the blood race, I want to see how long you can last." Carlton sneered, and his men went to replace the third gun with bullets, "You have only returned two of your six lives now. Well, Your Royal Highness."

Chu Xique, who was on the side, was shocked: "What did you do to Louis?! Louis?!"

"It's better not to know, Vice Minister Chu, or you may not be able to bear it." Carlton said, "But don't worry, he is still alive."

Just... alive? !

"Now it's the third life, Your Highness, are you ready?"
