After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Zhao Yao thought she would fall into the freezing water of the well, but she didn't.

Instead, my body felt soft.

Zhao Yao didn't have time to look, so she just propped herself up and looked up at the wellhead. After making sure that she couldn't climb out, she started calling for help. However, no one came until her voice was almost hoarse.

Now she was even more certain that Shangguan Shu had deliberately tricked her.

She began to curse Shangguan Shu.

She cursed loudly, but no one paid any attention to her.

It was a cold winter night. Zhao Yao's lips turned white from the cold and she hugged herself with her teeth chattering.

At this moment, the sweet voice of a young girl came to my ears, "Sister, are you cold? Hahahahahaha..."

When Zhao Yao heard the voice, her eyes widened and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

What…what…is this thing…

How could someone talk in the well? !

There was a chilly feeling on her neck, and the sound also came from behind her. Zhao Yao's back stiffened and she didn't dare to look back.

The voice chattered non-stop, "Sister, why don't you look back at me, hahahahahaha..."

At the end of each sentence, there is always laughter like bells and drums...

It's really scary.

Zhao Yao was so frightened that she could only hold on, trying to distract herself, not listen or think about it, and then the ghost would not exist!

Zhao Yao let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that she didn't fall down after falling into the well. What on earth is down there...

She lowered her head... and suddenly, a sharp explosion sounded throughout the bottom of the well.

"Ah!! Ghost!!!"

Countless blistered, swollen, and pale corpses were piled under her. She was even sitting on the bloated belly of a female corpse.

The girl's voice sounded again.

"Sister, be gentle, don't crush my brother, hahahahahaha..."

Zhao Yao's face turned pale, as if she was frozen in place, not daring to move.

She trembled and said, "You...you...don't...do anything stupid! Do you know...who...I am?"

"If you dare to hurt me, I will kill you after I get out!"

The girl was silent for a while, then said, "Sister, don't be afraid. Although we are ghosts, we are all good ghosts who have suffered injustice and humiliation. Because the underworld was overcrowded at the time, the ghost messenger let us wait for a few more decades until there was room in the underworld, and then take us away."

"My father and mother were taken away a long time ago, because the eighteen levels of hell are empty."

Hearing that the girl no longer laughed strangely, but spoke coherently, Zhao Yao felt less afraid. She swallowed, slowly turned around and looked behind her.

What comes into view is a beautiful face with a smile.

Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The stiff body softened.

When the girl saw that Zhao Yao was no longer afraid of her, she immediately smiled and chattered, "This well has been sealed for many years. I haven't seen a new person for many years!"

"I haven't spoken in a long time!"

The girl wanted to act coquettishly with the older sister in front of her. Just as she got close to her, Zhao Yao avoided her with disgust. Humans and ghosts are different. It would be bad if she was contaminated by ghost energy and her fortune was affected.

The girl didn't care about it, but said to herself: "Then I'll say it here... Sister, you don't know how unreliable these ghost officials are. They said they would take us away a few days ago, but yesterday they received news that... there is a person here who doesn't know how to live or die and wants to offend a certain big boss, so all the gods, Buddhas, Taoists, demons and ghosts in the whole Chu have fled..."

"So they are also trying to escape, so we should find a chance to escape as well... But our souls are locked at the bottom of the well, how can we escape?"

The girl held her chin in her hand, feeling very upset.

Zhao Yao was listening impatiently, but then he came up with an idea.

"I have a way to help you escape, but... I can't get out now!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she immediately said, "It's okay, it's okay, we can get you out!"

The corners of Zhao Yao's lips curled slightly.

Then, the girl summoned all the corpses, stacked them up one on top of another to form a ladder, and sent Zhao Yao out.

The girl wanted to stick her head out of the well to say goodbye to Zhao Yao, but the well was suddenly covered with a lightning net, which struck the girl and all the corpses down.

"what!!"

"thump!"

"thump!"

As the girl fell, she did not forget to remind Zhao Yao, "Sister, don't forget our agreement!"

The girl was innocent, but she had no idea that she would meet the most heartless, selfish, and ruthless woman in the Chu State...

Agreement?

Zhao Yao sneered.

She was really a fallen phoenix, worse than a chicken. She actually made a date with a ghost just to get out...

It's really ridiculous!

Humph, don’t you want to go out?

Well then, she will help them to be liberated!

Zhao Yao released all her resentment for the night, turned around and went back to the villa, rummaged around in the villa, and finally found what she wanted... wine.

She found some cloth, rolled it into a big ball, poured wine on it, carried it to the well, and took out the tinder from her arms.

The tiny flames lit up the night and also illuminated the cruel smile at the corner of her lips.

Zhao Yao lit the big ball, and the flames immediately burned along the surface of the ball. Zhao Yao raised her foot and kicked the ball to the bottom of the well.

“Hahahahahaha… let you scare me!”

Flames burst out of the wellhead, and at the same time, horrific screams came from the bottom of the well.

"Ahhh!!! Why is it on fire?!"

"It's so hot! It's burning me!!"

At the bottom of the well, in the scorching flames, a group of female ghosts kept wailing. One of them said, "We are just a group of lonely ghosts that are not registered in the underworld. If our bodies are burned... then our souls will be scattered! No! I don't want my souls to be scattered!"

The girl heard this, but still didn't give up and yelled towards the well, "Sister, save me! Sister..."

"Stop shouting! She's the one who hurt us! I thought she would be kind-hearted as a bald nun, but who knew she could be so vicious!"

The girl burst into tears, feeling extremely guilty, "It's me...it's me who hurt everyone..."

Zhao Yao listened to the tragic scene at the bottom of the well with satisfaction. Only when the flames gradually died down and the sounds at the bottom of the well disappeared did she leave with satisfaction.

……

study.

Shangguan Zhu was very happy to learn that Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying had broken up, and was even more excited that Shangguan Shu had regained his spirits.

So after chatting for half a cup of tea, Shangguan Zhu asked Shangguan Shu what to do next.

Shangguan Shu seemed to have planned it long ago, and the plan came out of his mouth immediately.

"Zhao Cong is not smart, but Emperor Jianxi is not stupid. Although he has entrusted a million soldiers to Wei Ju and me, he has the Weidu Mansion and the Imperial Guards inside and outside the palace in his hands. If we want to force our way through, we must control at least one of them."

Shangguan Zhu frowned, "This is not easy to deal with!"

"General Qin of Weidu Prefecture is just like our father. He is also a close confidant of Emperor Jianxi who has had a life-and-death friendship with him. General Qin's thirteen sons all died for the country. If we frame him and expel him from Weidu Prefecture, Emperor Jianxi will definitely not agree! He will not believe it either, and we will suffer greatly from it!"

"General Qin has no weaknesses. As a widower, it would be difficult to persuade him to rebel...

"That leaves General Zhou Ji."

Shangguan Zhu looked at Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu said calmly, "General Zhou Ji's mother just passed away, and he is on mourning leave. I found out that he... likes to stay in brothels. During the three-year mourning period, he is not allowed to sleep in brothels. If we catch him with this handle... are we afraid that he will not surrender to me?"
