Yan ghost

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also Xiang Yan's third day in the cold palace.

It is deserted everywhere, the trees are withered, and the birds don't like to come, but it is a good place to hide.He sat on the stone bench, counting the stone bricks on the ground, familiar and profound.Back then, he just stared at the floor tiles without moving for nearly an hour, until he bled all over his body.

He plucked the butterfly in his palm and eavesdropped on Yun Yu's courtiers impeaching him.

"Let go of the soul armor army to Yan, no mercy."

"I also ask you to hand over Xiang Yan to appease the anger of the people."

"I will punish Xiang Yan severely for letting go of the Soul Armor Army. The people in the capital made troubles because they were bewitched by traitors. Instead of arresting traitors, you all pretend to be loyal ministers and come to force me to hand them over."

"Your Majesty, how can you be sure that the Taoist man in white who was beheaded that day was a traitor, not the incarnation of a god? The common people already knew about the self-explosion and heard about the Taoist's death. Now, not only Xiang Yan is accused by Wanfu, but Your Majesty is also criticized a lot. .”

"Let's not talk about right and wrong. The Soul Armor Army will occupy Kaifang soon, and will definitely threaten Chilan in the future. If there is civil strife at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Then who of you present has the confidence to deal with the Soul Armor Army? If you want to eliminate the threat of the Soul Armor Army, you must keep Xiang Yan. You all came to persuade me, do you also believe the rumors?"

"That's not a rumor, it was told to Yan himself on the battlefield."

"The Soul Armor Army is unwilling to be controlled by my Chilan. If Xiang Yanruo didn't restrain the Soul Armor Army by self-destructing, how could he live to this day?"

"You don't have to say any more, I will make my own decision on this matter."

Suddenly, the psychic butterfly flapped its wings and said via voice transmission: "Don't trust Yunyu, leave the palace as soon as possible."

"Your Highness? What happened to you a few days ago." Xiang Yan asked while flicking the butterfly's wings. He didn't understand why he heard Shi Ting's voice when he didn't switch from Yun Yu's end.

"Leave Yun Yu alone."

"Your Majesty protects me like this, and I admit it if he wants to beat or punish me." Xiang Yan still pretended to be sincere.

"It's fine to beat you and punish you, but what if you want to kill you?"

Xiang Yan was startled, Shi Ting had never been so vigilant before, why is he persuading him in every possible way, so persistent.Could it be that he did something wrong that made him aware of it and changed the past?He had to find a way to make Shi Ting stop thinking about it.

"What is your Highness planning?"

"Do you know where you are in the palace, I will pick you up."

"Eternal Life Palace."

"Then you wait, I'll go to Xiangjia first to see if the dragonfly is still there, it can fly invisible."

When Xiang Yan heard it, he called Shi Ting to stop with a cry.Shi Ting asked what's the matter, Xiang Yan thought for a moment, then hehe asked: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, may your Highness stop by Leshengju to buy some mooncakes?"

"Greedy cat, I still want to eat at this time."

"I'm not looking at the soldiers leaving their hometowns, and want to take some back to reward them. Since the expedition, there has been no sweet mouth in the army..."

Xiang Yan rarely made a coquettish tone, Shi Ting couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Leshengju has a long queue, I'll pick you up first."

"Ah...their house will be sold out soon..." After Xiang Yan finished speaking, Shi Ting ignored him, probably rushing to work.

Xiang Yan picked up the psychic butterfly and gently caught it between the dry branches.The butterfly fluttered its wings and wanted to follow him, but it couldn't.

He walked to the door of the cold palace and pushed a leaf out from under the crack of the door.After a while, a court lady passed by, received the signal, pushed the door open and entered.

Lin Jiang was followed by a person, half an arm in plain clothes, with a wooden box in his hand, and his gestures were like walking on thin ice.

The man said: "King Wei, I heard that King Huai just killed a Yanshi a few days ago." Lin Jiang said: "Don't worry, I brought you here, he dares to do it." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked in. account.

At that time, Shi Ting was opening the wound on his arm. He glanced up and saw that it was Lin Jiang, then lowered his head and said, "Is it strange? This soul armor army doesn't know what kind of weapon it is. My wound has lasted for a few days. No healing either."

Lin Jiang said: "I found someone for you. Our army has suffered heavy casualties and is approaching the Soul Armor Army. Get well soon and fight again tomorrow."

Shi Ting carefully looked at the man, and beckoned him to come forward.The man tremblingly opened the wooden box, and there were Yanshi carving knives inside.

With a bang, the wooden box was pushed to the ground by Shi Ting.

"What are you doing!" Shi Ting raised his sword towards Yanshi.Lin Jiang immediately stepped forward to block the sword.That Yanshi was trembling all over, and fled to the corner.

"You are that person's puppet just like me, and you won't get well if you don't cultivate."

"What do you mean?" Shi Ting still didn't believe it.

Lin Jiang said angrily: "What time is it, you should be sober. Are you unable to eat anything these days?" Shi Ting didn't answer.

"You don't think that it's because he's not here that you don't think about food and drink." Lin Jiang smiled coldly at Shi Ting who was in a daze, "It's because he's not here, no one will help you finish the show."

In a rage, Shi Ting drew his sword and stabbed Lin Jiang.Lin Jiang was always a victorious person, and because of his recent losing streak, he was angry and lacked people to fight.

After more than ten moves, Shi Ting's sword fell to the ground.Lin Jiang received the sword and said, "It's up to you whether you want to cultivate it or not." After saying that, he walked away.

Seeing that Lin Jiang was gone, Yan Shi immediately wanted to run away, but he heard someone behind him say: "You stay."

"Prince Huai, please forgive me."

"I won't kill you." Chief Judge Shi took a breath and ordered, "Open it for me."

Yanshi stepped forward, tried his best to suppress the trembling of his hands, and it took him a while to open Shiting's chest.

Shi Ting lowered his head, eyes full of strings.He stretched out his hand to probe in, his face changed drastically, and there was a warm thing in his heart, which was the black jade belt hook he lost during the Shangyuan Festival.He pulled hard, trying to take it out to have a look, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.He let go of Mo Yu, stroked the inside of his chest, and engraved their names quietly on there.

"You made a bird come from thousands of miles to see me, pestering me to accompany you on expeditions to live with you, you care more about me than everyone around you, I thought I was different. It turned out that I was just someone who wanted you to worry about me. The hidden puppet..."

Shi Ting closed his eyes, and after a while he spoke again to Yan Shi who was standing beside him: "It's fixed, do one more thing for me."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Turn this signature on the outside, I want to see it all the time."

Yun Yu pushed open the door of the cold palace, and saw Xiang Yan sitting alone enjoying the moon and drinking tea.He put a food box on the table, turned his head to Yan, and bowed with a smile.

"Why haven't the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns been released yet?" Xiang Yan pretended to be expecting, and looked at the night sky again.

"Something happened, and the ceremony was cancelled." Yun Yu briefly mentioned it without mentioning anything.

Xiang Yan was in the cold palace and couldn't hear any news from outside, so naturally he didn't want to ask too many questions, but he had already read about the Queen's sudden death in the book of destiny.As long as it wasn't fabricated by some god in the book, this incident should have happened at noon today.After such a national funeral, how could the palace dare to prepare any Mid-Autumn festival.

"Just tell me why your majesty is free today." Xiang Yan opened the food box and saw that there were candied fruits and white moon cakes in the shape of rabbits, and his face beamed with smiles.Yun Yu is such a person, although he is the emperor, but he can always remember other people's preferences, which makes people mistakenly think that he is special.

Xiang Yan said: "There is no wine in this room, only some old rough tea, it's a pity to have this snack." He poured two cups and took a sip himself, but Yun Yu didn't drink it.

"Wine, someone will bring it later." Yun Yu said.

"No need, the Leng Gong has to look like a Leng Palace. It would be bad if someone finds out. How else would your majesty bring the supper himself?"

Yun Yu smiled, and said again: "This place is more remote and desolate than Yongshou Palace, no one should find it anymore."

"After changing, I really didn't see anyone suspicious." Xiang Yan lowered his eyes.

"That's good."

"Your Majesty has been working hard these days."

"It's also because I didn't listen to your persuasion back then, and insisted on asking the Soul Armor Army to go out." Yun Yu shook his head.

"Your Majesty regrets?"

"Honestly, not at all."

"The minister is too." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Yun Yu said: "If there is no risk in marching into Kuifang, how could the kings of all dynasties choose to bear the burden of humiliation." Xiang Yan continued: "As long as the king has great ambitions, Xiang Yan is willing to be an ant."

Yun Yu looked at the person in front of him, and asked earnestly, "Are you really willing to protect Chilan for me?" Xiang Yan pointed at the bright moon and made an oath.

Yun Yu laughed and toasted, and finally drank the cup of rough tea.Afterwards, the two replaced the wine with tea, and talked a lot about their childhood.

After sitting down for a cup of tea, Yun Yu said he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left.Xiang Yan looked up at the night sky again, hoping that Shi Ting would not find this place too soon.

Not long after, the internal officer came, holding a jug of wine, Xiang Yan couldn't finish it all alone in the cold palace.

"I've already told the king, so I don't need the wine." After Xiang Yangang finished speaking, many people came behind him.

Those people carried the autumn platform.There is a red maple tree on the execution platform, which is very good in appearance, adding a good scenery to the cold palace.

There was another case table on the execution platform, and handcuffs were placed on the case table.The inner officer put the wine and snacks on the case table, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, let Xiang Gongzi go all the way." After saying that, he went outside the door and waited.

Xiang Yan sat down in front of the case, watched the maple leaves wither, and the moonlight was just right, and without leaving a moment to grieve, he put his hands in handcuffs.

Tears welled up, and the first blood spattered his chin.He lowered his head, his cuffs were wet.

The mechanism blade hidden on the handcuffs rotates left and right to prevent the wound from clotting.Some medicine to numb the pain was also applied on the blade, very carefully.He felt a little chilly and took a sip of wine to warm himself up.It's just that Xingtai is paired with spirits, and the more you drink, the colder it gets.Because of a mouthful, the blood flow faster.

He felt tired and had to lean on the table.He raised his hand and called back the psychic butterfly that he had chased away during the day.The butterfly was caught on the branch for too long, and it was a little clumsy to fly, which is really pitiful.But if it weren't for this, Shi Ting might have seen through his strategy of making a fool of himself.

Back then, he searched for Shi Ting dozens of times, but Shi Ting ignored him. Every time he fiddled with his wings, he only made him more desperate.He became an eternal sinner spurned by the world, the king who loved him the most wanted him to decide for himself, his dearest brother died because of him, and in the end even the person who never left him from the beginning to the end didn't care about him.

Now he only called it once, at the moment when he was convinced that he was powerless.He was afraid that there might be a turning point if he was not careful, but he really wanted to hear that person's voice.But he really thought too much, and there was no answer from that end.

I lied to you, and you ignored me, just like back then.

There were footsteps outside the door.Xiang Yan dimly saw the psychic butterfly flying up to the black boots and being crushed by one foot.

"You and I, the kings and ministers of my life, didn't even give the slightest hope of asking for help. What a ruthless king..." Xiang Yan closed his eyes after speaking.

Yun Yu didn't say a word, but gave him a look, and a group of guards came in from the outside of the house.

Xiang Yan floated up gently and landed on the roof, watching one of the guards raise his sword and cut off his head.

Afterwards, the guards immediately looked towards the border, probably guessing whether the self-explosion really happened.But Yun Yu only stared at Xiang Yan's body, he knew very well that nothing would happen.

The guard presented the head.Yun Yu said: "Let's hang up at the gate of the city tonight and say that the demon master Xiang Yan has been eliminated."

Xiang Yan had nothing to miss, turned around and left.He floated slowly above the palace.After walking a few steps, he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Where are you going, my lord?" It was the concubine who was pregnant with Liujia who spoke.

Xiang Yan still remembered that the concubine was framed by someone and fell into the lake, killing two people.He imitated his concubine and sister and made a puppet.The concubine entered the palace again disguised as a newcomer, exposed the real murderer, and won Yun Yu's favor again.

Xiang Yan said: "I want to go back to the border, the battle is not over yet." He looked down at the fallen concubine and said worriedly: "Go back quickly, people will find out if you leave your body there."

The concubine shook her head and said, "I'll see you off."

As Xiang Yan moved forward, more and more ghosts floated below.There are wandering spirits, and there are also those who leave the dolls by themselves.The big guys saw him off bustlingly, like a grand funeral.

"What a gust of wind." The ghosts shivered one after another.

Looking down at Xiang Yan, he happened to pass Yongshou Palace.There was no one in the palace, and there was no trace of a dragonfly anywhere.

"Where did your highness go?" Xiang Yan wondered.But then I thought, he should go to the gate of the city tomorrow morning.

When Xiang Yan came to the sky above the capital, the bustling city was still there.It coincided with the mid-autumn night, and the streets were bustling with people, and the people below did not notice the heavy resentment in the air.There are many people on the street, and a hundred ghosts walk in the air at night.

At this time, several Yin servants jumped out of the sky, holding tridents, and excitedly faced the ghost.The ghosts trembled all over, but none of them escaped, instead they surrounded Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan said urgently, "Leave me alone."

But seeing the ghosts come forward, beating the sky and grabbing the ground, and new ghosts continue to emerge from the underground, dragging the injured ghosts back to the underworld.

The number of ghosts around him decreased dramatically.Xiang Yan shouted: "There will be a great reward for capturing Xiang Yan." He flew down the street alone.

The errands glanced at each other, not knowing who yelled those words, so they scrambled to chase Yan.

Xiang Yan walked through the narrow alleys.The underworld agents scattered in all directions, chasing and intercepting, and strands of black shadows appeared in the streets and alleys.

When Xiang Yan came to a place, there were ghosts surrounding him.He pushed open the door and saw a piece of abandoned wooden armor in the house, so he put his soul into a short pile.

The messengers then rushed into the house, but Xiang Yan was nowhere to be seen.Suddenly, Yi Yinchai smiled triumphantly at the wooden armor all over the floor, and several people started chopping wildly.
