Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

Outside Zhiyang City, in a simple inn.

Duan Ye stood behind the counter, making calculations.

Suddenly, a black-clothed man covered half of his face with a black cloth and entered through the window, bringing in a gust of cool night breeze, filling his robe.

"My lord, they are already approaching Zhiyang County, and they will be able to go outside the city tomorrow night." The man said: "At that time, you only need to add some ecstasy to their meals."

Duan Ye picked up a pack of medicinal powder he put on the table, looked at it for a while and said: "I heard the news from Liao Ci that His Highness King Xiang is accompanied by a man with extremely strong martial arts. The two are inseparable and share the same bed. Pillow, do you think we can succeed?"

"Young master, just do what you want." The man's calm voice was emotionless. Before he left, he turned his head and gave him a cold look. Just don't worry about the blood that bleeds in your bones because the prince doesn't recognize you."

Hearing this, Duan Ye replied perfunctorily.

And when the black shadow completely disappeared into the night, he casually poured the medicine powder into the water cup on his hand, then spilled the water in the cup, clapped his hands and said to himself, "I'm sorry."

The next night, Duan Ye was still standing behind the counter and dialing the abacus.

Counting the time, a noble young man in azure robes and a icy face in black brocade finally walked into his small shop.

Duan Ye rubbed his chin, he had heard about the scandal between His Royal Highness King Xiang and General Chu in Beijing.But it is said that General Chu, who never showed his true face to others, made some mistakes and touched the Holy Majesty's brow, and was fined and imprisoned for half a year.

Just for a while, he secretly looked at Ye Huaiyun and the people around him as they looked at each other, his eyes were full of affection, and his brows were calm and calm.Thinking about it, this man in black clothes was undoubtedly Chu Tingyun who was secretly taken out of the capital by Ye Huaiyun.

He had been listening to the conversation of several people for a while, so he stood up and brushed off his robe, and greeted them as the innkeeper.

"what!"

The young man next to Ye Huaiyun screamed loudly the moment he heard his voice.

Little friend, has your mother ever taught you: People are scary, scary to death!

Duan Ye looked at this innocent little kid, his slightly round face, tsk, it's actually a little cute.He suddenly had a bad idea of ​​playing tricks, and secretly planned to scare the boy with his black cat in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, the candlesticks in the wing room were extinguished one by one, and the whole inn fell silent.

Just as Duan Ye was about to blow out the candle beside his bed and take a rest, the familiar black shadow entered through the window again.

"How is your son doing?" the man in black asked straight to the point.

"Hey, don't mention it." Duan Ye pretended to be depressed and sat down on the bed, "Go to the upstairs room and see for yourself, they didn't even eat a bite of the food I made!"

The man was not surprised at all, hehe sneered, "My lord knew this would happen a long time ago, so he sent his subordinates to replace you, my lord."

Duan Ye naturally knew that they were going to assassinate Ye Huaiyun, his eyeballs rolled in the dark, and suddenly he stared at the man's back in horror.

"Ah! Help—" Duan Ye shrank tremblingly towards the man as if he saw something terrible.

The man was taken aback by his inexplicable action, "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Look over there, there are ghosts!" Duan Ye said in a low voice.

As he said, he put his hand on the man's waist, pulled out his short dagger, and pointed straight ahead, "Help! Don't come over!"

In the wooden corridor, the sound of Deng Deng's footsteps sounded.

Duan Ye hooked the corner of his mouth in the dark night, and turned the dagger towards himself.

Tonight is July and a half, the most cloudy Ghost Festival.The man thought for a moment that he had really hit a ghost, and was afraid that Duan Ye would hurt himself, so he immediately grabbed the handle of the short dagger to stop his movements.

"boom--"

At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open by Chu Tingyun and the two of them.The man was defeated and fled.

After perfunctory Ye Huaiyun and Ye Huaiyun with the excuses he had prepared early in the morning, Duan Ye raised his hand to touch the neck that had just been accidentally injured.

There was a pool of blood on his hand.

Duan Ye let out a long sigh, what is this called.

"Meow——" the black cat suddenly jumped off the beam and jumped into his arms.

Duan Ye stroked the black cat's soft fur and said with emotion: "You are the best."

"I can't be discovered by the prince that I'm ruining his important affairs, and my identity can't be discovered by His Highness Prince Xiang." Duan Ye was very distressed, "You said, is this a human job?"

Black Cat: "Meow——"

"Why haven't you learned how to speak yet? I've been teaching you for so long." Duan Ye patted its head, "Forget it, go and tease that little kid named Jiang."

******

Last night, a servant in Ding's mansion died beside the latrine outside their courtyard.

Jiang Linxu stood tremblingly under the eaves alone, his spirit was strangely weak.

Duan Ye originally wanted to scare him by suddenly appearing from behind, but seeing people already panicked like this, he would scare away all the seven souls and six souls, so he simply walked towards Jiang Linxu.

"Why are you standing here alone?" Duan Ye laughed and said, "My cat didn't run up to the beam to scare you last night."

"Your cat didn't scare me, but a female ghost scared me!" Jiang Linxu's voice was also weak, and seemed to be shaking more than his own.

Duan Ye smiled, "Where is the ghost in this world, you are scaring yourself. If you really feel scared..."

"How is it?" Jiang Linxu asked anxiously.

Duan Ye said: "If you are really scared, I will come to your room to tell you a bedtime story at night?"

When Jiang Linxu heard that it was a bedtime story, not a ghost story, he nodded like a rattle.

At night, Duan Ye knocked on the door of Jiang Linxu's room with his black cat in his arms, and the man shrank to the bed in fright.

Duan Ye smiled and moved a chair to sit beside his bed, "Hey, are you okay?"

Jiang Linxu said: "Just start telling me the story quickly."

"Is that so, let me think about it..." Duan Ye stroked the hair on his black cat's back, and said after pondering: "It is rumored that there used to be..."

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple telling stories." Jiang Linxu curled his lips, "I heard this when I was very young, it's boring."

"Cough, actually what I want to say is that there used to be a kind of fragrance called "Returning Soul Incense." Duan Ye said, raising his sleeve and extinguishing a candle, "It is said that anyone who smells this fragrance can become Fair and beautiful, with a face like a crown of jade."

"Therefore, a foolish son of a landlord family spent a lot of money to buy some soul-returning incense from a passing merchant, and burned it in the incense burner in the room. The next morning, when he went out, he eagerly pulled a person over and asked: 'I Is it beautiful?’, what do you guess?”

Duan Ye said: "The person being pulled by him immediately let out a scream!"

Jiang Linxu guessed uncertainly: "Is that incense for returning souls really useful? Did it make him look better?"

"How is that possible." Duan Ye waved his hand, "After the man screamed, he yelled 'Ghost!'"

"Ghost!"

"..." Duan Ye was taken aback by Jiang Linxu's sudden cry, "Why are you yelling after me? I mean the person in the story yelled, it's not that I saw a ghost now."

"That's it..." Jiang Linxu took a deep breath, "Then you go on, go on."

"The stupid son of the landlord's family, his seven orifices are bleeding, his eye sockets are hollow, and his whole appearance has become neither human nor ghost, and he finally found out that the rumor of the soul-returning incense is false." Duan Ye extinguished another candle, and now the room Only the last point is like a bean lamp.

There was a faint sound of breathing on the roof, Duan Ye closed his eyes, it seemed that Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun were going to hunt ghosts at night, it seemed that he had to finish this story quickly.

"Why don't you continue talking?" Jiang Linxu reminded him.

Duan Ye said: "The following story is a bit permeating, are you sure you still want to listen?"

Jiang Linxu hesitated for a moment, seeing Duan Ye brushing off his sleeves and about to leave, curiosity prevailed, "Listen if you want."

"Okay then." Duan Ye shrugged and continued: "It turns out that the real rumor of the fragrance of returning souls should be: the fragrance smells for hundreds of miles, dead bodies lie on the ground, and the breath is alive. And the person who told this story is a famous The ghost named Qing Xingdeng, she just wants to trick people into lighting up the soul-returning incense, and then absorb the vitality of the living person to come back to life."

After Duan Ye finished speaking the last word, Jiang Linxu felt his eyes go dark, and the room was full of silence.The person who was sitting by his bed just now disappeared suddenly, leaving only a window that opened and closed with the wind in the autumn night.

Open and close...

Jiang Linxu roared inwardly: What a good bedtime story!

Ghost stories will only make people sleepless!

In a palace in the southwest, a man in white was kneeling on the icy ground.

The man was handsome, if it wasn't for his deep frown and clenched teeth at this time, which covered his original face with a layer of paleness and pain, it would have attracted thousands of boys and girls to linger.

Behind him stood a man in his early forties, dressed in a black python robe and holding a long whip.

"Duan Ye? Heh!" Dark anger blazed in the man's eyes, "You are really good. Instead of killing Ye Huaiyun to me, you let them take the mine that I worked so hard to find Tell me, what should I do if the work is not good enough?"

The man in white kneeling on the ground was Duan Ye who disappeared from Zhiyang County, and the person behind him was Ye Huaiyun's eldest brother, Chang Xin Wang Ye Huaizhang.

The soft whip made of snake skin made a terrifying crackling sound in the air. Every time King Chang Xin said two words, the long whip fell heavily on Duan Ye, ripping out the white thin shirt and taking off his clothes. Bloodstains appeared on his delicate skin, dyeing the white clothes into red robes.

With a "pop", the soft whip fell again.Duan Ye's already bruised back couldn't help but tremble, but he still didn't let out a muffled groan from his lips, he just gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I have entrusted you to do whatever you want."

"Since I let it be dealt with, I will receive the hundred lashes first." Chang Xinwang's movements became more and more ruthless, without any mercy.

After the hundred whippings were over, Duan Ye couldn't find a single piece of intact skin on his body, and he heard the vassal say, "Go to the dungeon to think about your past, and you'd better let me take care of those little tricks you think you're smart about." Take it."

After Duan Ye answered "Yes", he stood up with difficulty touching his knees, and walked towards the water prison step by step with his heavy legs.

It was not until he was handcuffed by the chains of the water prison that Duan Ye opened his mouth and spit out a note that had been hidden under his tongue, which read: My lord, the major event in Beijing has been completed, and the lord is welcome to Beijing at any time.

Duan Ye coughed out a mouthful of blood, which just splashed on the paper and covered all the writing.

All the people in Zhiyang County who wanted to assassinate Ye Huaiyun were dealt with calmly by him, and he also intercepted the secret report of the emperor's death in Jingzhong. Now... Duan Ye twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, Ye Huaiyun He should be able to ascend the throne without any hindrance, and it is not in vain that he was punished with whipping and jailed.
