Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

The rainy night continued, with heavy rain hitting the bamboo forest.

The wind blew hard and the cemetery was completely silent.

The gravekeeper, wrapped tightly in his cotton jacket and sitting on a bamboo chair, felt a little creepy.

He rubbed his palms and exhaled two puffs of hot air.

"What are you afraid of? I've been here since I was a child. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The position of gravekeeper had been passed down from his grandfather's generation, and he naturally took over his grandfather's mantle.

However, just as he said the comforting words, the man saw a shadow flash outside the window.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the gap in the door, causing the lantern he placed on the table to shake.

The man suddenly became alert, picked up the lantern with his hands, and walked to the door.

His fingers touched the rough wooden door, and with a creaking sound, the door was pushed open by him.

Suddenly, a gust of wind brought in a black figure.

Raindrops splashed.

Holding the ink-black blade in his hand with the back of the blade facing downwards, there was a loud bang and a flash of thunder, and the gravekeeper holding a lantern fell asleep in the house.

"fainted."

The two looked at each other and put away their blades.

"He will wake up in about an hour."

"Let's move faster."

He crouched down again and continued to move forward into the darkness.

The Gu family cemetery is divided into two areas, new graves and old graves. Most of the old graves are the capable ancestors of the Gu family.

Logically speaking, Gu Zhao committed such a serious mistake that he did not deserve to be buried in the Gu family cemetery.

But the old man of the Gu family came up with an idea. He ordered his men to buy the land next to the Gu family cemetery.

He buried Gu Zhao's body here, so it was not considered buried in the Gu family cemetery.

If the higher-ups want to investigate, they can certainly do so. However, since the person is already dead, Zhao Changlin plans to turn a blind eye.

She had just ascended the throne, so it was indeed not appropriate for her to cause a huge uproar with the entire Gu family.

Therefore, there was no need to search carefully for Gu Zhao's grave. The two shadow guards drew out the weapons on their backs and smashed it down with a shovel.

The brown soil was scattered out in handfuls.

But after a while, a solid "bang" was heard.

It's easy to tell by thinking that it must have hit the solid coffin lid.

"This old man from the Gu family is really willing to spend a lot of money on his son!"

With just a slight touch, they could confirm that the coffin was made of good wood that was at least a hundred years old.

"Open the coffin."

"Your Majesty's orders cannot be delayed."

Even if they found out the news, it would probably take several days for it to reach Longcheng by express delivery.

"it is good."

"You go that way, and I'll go this way."

He pushed the shovel against the coffin with great force, and the coffin made a creaking sound, which was particularly noticeable in the rain.

"…paper…paper…people!"

exclaimed.

The two then discovered that the coffin did not contain Gu Zhao's body, but a pale paper man.

Due to the heavy rain, the paper man became wet instantly, revealing the bamboo strips inside.

It seems that what Your Majesty said is true!

Gu Zhao is not dead at all!

"Who on earth are you... How dare you trespass into the Gu family cemetery!"

A big knife fell from the air with a sharp force. The gravekeeper who had just fainted in the wooden house rushed over.

He has been guarding tombs since he was a child and has seen all kinds of strange things. Although the two people did scare him when they first appeared, he quickly reacted - which Black and White Impermanence would wear two black clothes? Don't they all come with one black and one white?

In addition, he was wearing a mask on his face and had no spirit-calling stick, which clearly showed that someone was pretending to be a ghost and trying to scare him.

After some psychological comfort, he suddenly felt that he had an obligation to protect the Gu family's cemetery, even if it cost him his life.

We must also keep it.

The glory of my ancestors!

The big knife chopped on the coffin board. If the coffin was not hard enough, the knife would definitely pierce through it.

"Paper man... How can this be a paper man?"

He could hardly believe it, and backed away.

Seeing his surprise, the two shadow guards immediately drew out the blades on their waists. The sharp blades broke through the rain curtain with a "whoosh" sound.

He immediately raised his double swords. Although the gravekeeper was a martial artist, his mediocre skills were more than enough to drive away a few tomb robbers who came to rob the tomb.

But facing the shadow guards in the imperial city, that was just a cheap side dish.

Moreover, the two men were surprised that the coffin did not contain a living corpse, but a "paper man", which was why they were not careful enough and allowed the man to launch a successful sneak attack.

Now that he had reacted, the two men put their blades on his neck and kicked him to the ground.

Fell on my butt in the mud.

The man's sword rolled into a pile of grass nearby and was never to be found again.

"Did you two...switch Master Gu's body?"

"You tomb robbers, it's fine if you take some trivial silver, but why do you even want to steal my young master's body!"

"You are so shameless... Just wait till the next morning, the master will find out... Then you will be in big trouble..."

He kept cursing, hoping that the two thieves would give up.

"Do you know who my master is?"

"How dare you come...to rob a tomb!"

Hearing his words, the shadow guard did not stop his actions at all.

"I am the shadow guard of the Emperor's relative! I have been ordered to investigate the death of Gu Zhaozhi from the Gu family!

"You'd better tell the truth!"

The man fell down, wearing a half-animal mask on his face. The gravekeeper, who had adapted to the darkness, could see clearly what was standing in front of him...

Isn’t this... isn’t this the “ghost-fearing creature” that everyone in the world is terrified of?

Don’t even mention being afraid of ghosts. It’s more like the ghosts are afraid of them!

Shadow guards are not only scary, but also have another meaning. It means that you have been targeted by the supreme ruler of this country, His Majesty the Emperor. Everything you do is in the eyes of the emperor and nothing can escape your gaze.

"So it's an adult..."

"I just didn't know what was real. I hope you can spare my life!"

"But sir...I really don't know why the young master turned into a paper man!"

"Ah bah...ah bah, the villain is real, I don't know why this sinner with such heinous crimes would become...a paper man!"

"I have been guarding here day and night, and I will rush forward to check if there is any movement. This is the first time I have met an adult..."

A man's knees are made of gold, so he should kneel when he should, to prove that kneeling is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

"When did you take over the cemetery?"

The man in the black mask began to move closer to him, his tone cold, and he immediately grasped the important information in the man's words.

"Not long ago... my father... after he passed away, I took over the business and took over this cemetery..."

"My father also sent me to learn martial arts so that I could continue to be the gravekeeper of the Gu family."

Seeing that this man was hesitant and unable to explain himself, it could be that he took over the role of gravekeeper after Gu Zhao's death.

Your Majesty is right. The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Zhao, is not dead... Not only that, the entire Gu family might know about it!
