my prime minister my wife

With just four words, Ye Feng and Fan Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Yu looked at Ye Feng with some admiration. He didn't know why Ye Feng persuaded Mu Yan with such a few short words, but in his intuition, Ye Feng definitely expressed another meaning in these words.

But what it meant, even Fan Yu himself couldn't guess.

At this time, Qin Shuang walked in with a roll of maps in her arms. She looked at the three people with different expressions and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Mu Yan looked at Qin Shuang and replied lightly.

Qin Shuang is also a smart person, when she knew that Mu Yan didn't intend to say this sentence, she didn't ask any further.

Afterwards, she unfolded the map in her hand and said to Mu Yan: "Because of the emperor's plan, Fanyi City has already surrendered, but the next city, the emperor, please pay attention."

Following Qin Shuang's movements, Mu Yan looked at the map on the table. The map was not a map of Xiluo, nor a map of the Four Kingdoms, but a map of a city.

It is strange to say that if it is a map of a city, houses and streets must be drawn on the map, but this map is different. It only has circles of maze-like streets without a single house.

Mu Yan frowned and asked, "This is?"

"Ghost town map." Qin Shuang looked at the map, her expression became a little more serious.

"Ghost town? Why have I never heard of such a city in Xiluo Kingdom?"

Mu Yan's gaze was still fixed on the map, he only felt that the map was indescribably weird.

"The ghost city is known as one of the four evil cities in Xiluo. Because it is an extremely evil place, those extremely evil people who can't even tolerate Xiluo are exiled in these four evil cities. Although the Great Evil City is within the territory of Xiluo Kingdom, because of the existence of those extremely evil people, these Four Great Evil Cities were removed by Xiluo a few years ago and established themselves as a faction." Seeing Mu Yan puzzled, Qin Shuang turned to Mu Yan explained.

"Where are these four cities?" Mu Yan asked.

Qin Shuang replied: "The four evil cities are the ghost city, the red city, the killing city, and the magic city. The city lords of these four evil cities are all headed by Chi Yang, the city lord of the magic city."

"That means that if we attack Xiluo further, we will definitely confront the four evil cities head-on, right?" Mu Yan said after pondering for a while.

Qin Shuang shook her head: "No, there is a city that we may avoid."

"What city?"

Mu Yan never thought that in this battle, he would avoid a city that he must pass through.

Qin Shuang lowered her head, as if she was thinking for a while, she replied: "Killing City, according to legend, this city was born because of sand and dust, and only when there is a sandstorm in the desert, can this city be killed." It will appear that because of the particularity of this killing city, the former Emperor Xiluo liked to choose the time when the sandstorm appeared, and sent those extremely evil people to the killing city, letting them fend for themselves in the killing city."

Speaking of this, Qin Shuang paused, looking at the map of the ghost town on the table and said: "So the most urgent thing now is to start the layout for this ghost town, and according to my years in Xiluo, I understand that the people in this ghost town It seems a bit strange..."

"Strange? What's strange?" The door of the room was suddenly opened, followed by Xia Qing's beating voice.

"Ghost City, Mr. Xia, as a native of Xiluo, you should be a little clear about it?" Qin Shuang looked at Xia Qing and replied.

Because Qin Shuang had seen Xia Qing use witchcraft and Gu before, she also guessed that Xia Qing was from Xiluo country.

After Xia Qing heard this, his steps froze: "Ghost town?"

He looked at Qin Shuang, and said with a little disgust, "Why are you suddenly bringing up such an unlucky place?"

Seeing the extremely disgusted expression on Xia Qing's face, Qin Shuang knew that Xia Qing must know about this ghost city, and then she said to Xia Qing: "Since Mr. Xia knows this place, why not let Mr. Xia explain it to the emperor, after all, our next step It is this city that has to be faced.”

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Xia Qing recalled the blurred map of Xiluo in his mind.

Only then did he discover that this ghost city is indeed to the west of Fanyi City.

Then he sighed: "It's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided!"

After Xia Qing sighed, he had no choice but to say to Mu Yan quietly: "The topography of this ghost city is extremely strange. It is low in the middle and high on the four sides. It is a basin terrain, and the lowest point in the middle of the basin is also where all the dark things in this world are gathered. A place with qi can be said to be a place of extreme yin, and a place of extreme yin is rich in all kinds of ghosts."

Xia Qing found a place for himself while talking. He looked at the people listening to the story in front of him seriously, and he said: "The ghost city is one of the four evil cities in Xiluo. Anyone who can stay in it Only those extremely evil people, ghosts were humans in their previous lives, ghosts are born from life, and evil is born from the heart. After those extremely evil people in the ghost city learned that there are ghosts in this city, they not only did not avoid them, but I made a deal with those ghosts in order to live forever and never die, so they lent their bodies to the ghosts. During the day, they are extremely evil people who slaughter all living beings, and at night they are extremely evil people who devour souls. ghost."

"You mean they are immortal? Don't they look like those ghosts?" Fan Yu was a little surprised.

Xia Qing smiled sarcastically: "That's right, because they sold their souls to the evil spirits, they became such a state of being neither human nor ghost, living forever, immortal."

Speaking of this, Xia Qing first looked at Mu Yan, with a trace of despair in his eyes: "Mu Yan, they are immortal, we... can't beat them..."

Before Xia Qing finished speaking, Qin Shuang slapped Xia Qing on the back: "I said you are disturbing the morale of the army? Or are you helping Xiluo?"

"I didn't disturb the morale of the army, and I didn't help anyone. I was just telling the truth." Xia Qing said lightly: "It's an unknown city, and the people in it are also unknown. They have no humanity. It's just that bloodthirsty beast|lust."

"Actually, sometimes, once a person's heart deviates and becomes an evil spirit, his existence is more terrifying than a beast." Mu Yan looked at Qin Shuang and said every word.

Qin Shuang sighed. As a native of Xiluo, she could understand Xia Qing's feelings.

Afterwards, Qin Shuang said, "Xia Qing, you are right to think so, but I know there is a way to defeat them."

"What method?" Mu Yan asked.

After Qin Shuang listened, she was not in a hurry to answer.

Turning her head suddenly, Qin Shuang looked out at the sky through the open window: "Ghost towns are places where all the filth and darkness gather. What do you think can defeat the darkness and purify the filth in this world?"

When everyone was silent, Ye Feng, who was standing silent at the side, suddenly said, "Bright."

"Yes, it is light." Qin Shuang said.

Then she turned to look at Xia Qing: "Master Xia, you should know what Qin Shuang is talking about. Only you can find this light."

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Xia Qing smiled sarcastically: "Qin Shuang, are you kidding me? I am also from Xiluo, and what I have left in my bones is the blood of darkness in Wangchuan. Corrupted people come to find the light?"

"Master Xia, haven't you noticed? You are fundamentally different from us. Only you can find this bright fire." Qin Shuang said hastily.

"Different?" Xia Qing lowered his head and sneered.

Then, he suddenly came to Qin Shuang, his black eyes were slowly turning red, he pointed to his blood eyes and said: "Did you see, this blood-like color, this is The symbol of darkness in my body, light? A joke!"

"Didn't you, Mr. Xia, not notice?" Qin Shuang's voice sounded: "Your eyes are no longer as blood red as those of our Xiluo people."

"Is this a joke?" Xia Qing covered his bloody eyes with his hand, and he smiled very lightly: "Once this sin is born, it is like a scar, which can never be removed forever."

"Then why doesn't Mr. Xia believe Qin Shuang's words, you take a mirror to see for yourself?" Qin Shuang said.

"Look at what? See how many crimes I have committed and how many people I have killed?" Xia Qing's eyes were filled with endless self-mockery.

Seeing Xia Qing like this, Qin Shuang bit his lips and said, "Master Xia believed in Qin Shuang just once, okay?"

Qin Shuang seemed to have moved Xia Qing's heart a little, and then he said to Qin Shuang very simply: "Mirror."

Hearing what Xia Qing ordered, Qin Shuang was overjoyed, and she hurriedly handed the mirror in the room to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing took the mirror that Qin Shuang handed him. Although Xia Qing's expression was extremely calm at this time, Mu Yan behind Xia Qing saw that Xia Qing's hand that took the mirror was trembling slightly.

Mu Yan had heard rumors about the bloody eyes of Xiluo people in Dongli before.

Rumors say that the people of Xiluo Kingdom have committed too many evils, but it may be because of the punishment from the heavens. I don’t know from which generation they started. As long as someone did a little evil, the red in their eyes will fade away. Will add a point.

It's like the merit book, but the difference is that the merit book records merit, but their blood eyes record their sins. The more red in their blood eyes, it proves the sins they committed more and more.

However, the reason why Xia Qing and Qin Shuang had always appeared with black eyes before, Mu Yan guessed, was that the Xiluo nobles had some technique to change the color of their eyes to hide their bloody eyes that represented sin.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a "pop" sound, and the mirror fell from Xia Qing's hand to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.

Xia Qing lowered his head, saw himself in the mirror from the countless fragments, and kept backing away: "How is it possible..."

Mu Yan followed Xia Qing's voice and looked in Xia Qing's direction.

The moment Mu Yan saw Xia Qing's eyes, he couldn't help but startled, how is this possible?
