Ye Gui

Xiao Zhuang squatted in the flowerbed in the middle of the yard and dug the soil. A few dead rose stems were stuck in the dry and hard soil.

The petals of brown spades that had ruthlessly withered and lost their moisture were scattered on the soil. They were lifeless, but transformed by spells, and turned into dust when touched.Not a trace of the peach tree ever existed.

Xiaozhuang thought to himself, when can I transform things at will like my master?

The door opened, Xiao Zhuang stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, ran over and asked, "Brother, how is Master?"

Lei Yan said: "Master is very good. You ask the kitchen to make more peach blossom cakes, peach blossom soup, peach blossom porridge, peach blossom cakes, etc. Master likes to eat these. Also, anyone who comes to see Master recently, just say that Master is retreating. Pushed for him."

"Then what about the lord summoning?"

"I don't see you either. I will talk to the lord." Lei Yan frowned, "Don't let Master run out. If you have anything to do, come to the general's mansion to find me."

"Yes, brother."

Out of the National Teacher's Mansion, Bai Yin said: "Peizheng's symptoms are exactly the same as yours, Ah Yan. He lacks the soul of heaven and wisdom, so you will have difficulty moving, while he is demented. If I guess correctly, Pei Zheng should have gradually become delirious in the past six months."

"I'm not in Tianlu City for half a year, and my master seldom goes out. I haven't seen him for a long time. The most recent time was three years ago. The king invited his ministers to a feast, and he was forced to attend by the king. , I went there as a last resort, but he just bowed to the lord and left, which made the lord feel that he couldn't keep his face, and the whole banquet was sullen."

"The two of you have no similarities, but your symptoms are surprisingly similar. What spells did he teach you?" Hakuin suspected that there was something wrong with the spells, but he didn't have such a soul-devouring evil spell in his impression.

Lei Yan snapped his fingers and said, "It's just how to use Yegui and Slaughter, disguise, simple healing...he didn't teach me anything else."

"These are the most basic techniques, and they will definitely not cause loss of soul." Bai Yin pondered, he planned to send a letter back to Baishan, wondering if Master knew about Pei Zheng's loss of soul, this matter must be known to Master.

The two walked out of the alley while they were talking, Lei Yan suddenly pulled him back into the alley, Bai Yin was pressed against the wall by him, wrapped his arms around his waist and asked with a smile, "Why is Ah Yan so active? There are too many people here , when I open the barrier..."

"..." Lei Yan squinted at him, and pushed him away with disgust on his face, "What are you thinking!" He pointed to the outside of the alley, which is the most prosperous street in Tianlu City, just like the Flower Street in Yanming City , but much more bustling than Flower Street. Just after noon, it was bustling with people, and the largest and most stylish shops in Shenyu Kingdom gathered here.

Bai Yin looked at the place he was pointing at, at the door of a three-story teahouse, Si Weiheng got out of the carriage, followed by A Su and the guards, and the shopkeeper personally welcomed him in.

"Isn't that Heng Wang?" Bai Yin asked.

"Let's go in and have a look too." Lei Yan said, he was thinking about his sister's infertility, he heard the soldiers gossip about the previous dynasty, there are often concubines in the palace vying for favor and drugging other people's diets.

Although sister and brother-in-law love each other, there is no room for a third person among them, but there is no guarantee that any woman will make dirty tricks because she cannot love.

Hakuin spread out the barrier, and the two of them walked in grandly.

Si Weiheng went up to the inner room on the third floor and asked the guards to wait outside the door, and the shopkeeper hurriedly retreated after serving refreshments.

Lei Yan was leaning on the soft couch whether he was sitting or not, Bai Yin was sitting beside him, Asu was the only one left in the room besides Si Weiheng, Lei Yan frowned, he was familiar with Asu, she was Fifth Brother's personal maid, People are sensible and clever.

Si Weiheng waved to A Su: "Come here."

A Su walked over with a smile, sat next to Si Weiheng, leaned her upper body against his arms and said coquettishly: "My lord hasn't looked for me for a long time..."

Bai Yin grabbed the little general who was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth and wanted to rush over to tear the pair of boys and girls who betrayed his sister: "Ah Yan! Don't be impulsive!"

Lei Yan said angrily: "Bai Yin, let me go! They must have drugged my sister! I'm going to kill them!"

Hakuin said calmly: "The fact that they have an affair doesn't mean they will drug my sister. Let's hear it!"

Lei Yan's whole body was tense, his hands were clenched into fists, Bai Yin held his arm, and patted his back with soothing hands.

Si Weiheng said: "There are too many things these few days."

A Sujiao said, "Is it for the general's business?"

Si Weiheng nodded and said: "Anyway, he is my father-in-law, I have to do everything to save face, so that no one can grab the ground."

A Su picked up the teacup, put it on his lips, blew it and passed it to Si Weiheng's mouth: "The king's order has been made, the general's military power will definitely be handed over, the prince just put on a show, don't get tired Broken body."

Si Weiheng grabbed her hand and took a sip of tea, she put down the teacup, and continued, "I entered the palace that day, and when I came back, I was almost caught by the princess. My lord, if my lord knows that you did all of this, Will definitely hate you."

Si Weiheng knew what A Su was thinking: "You! The general is too pedantic and upright, with a stern face, and never bothers to participate in these battles. Even if it is me, he will not be partial, and will even be stricter with me, so Only by relinquishing his military power and replacing him with my people can we achieve great things. Ayu is a simple and kind person. In the future, I will be the lord of the country, and she will be the queen. At that time, the general will be the head of the country, an extremely human minister, and she I will definitely not blame my temporary means."

Lei Yan finally understood, it turned out that everything was done by Si Weiheng for the sake of the throne.Maybe what happened to the good king was also caused by him secretly.

He trembled uncontrollably, is this still the Fifth Brother who grew up with him?He is gentle and polite, he dare not speak loudly, he is always considerate of others, the Tai Tuo's favorite, the Fifth Brother who always praises him?

His heart was stabbed, his chest was constantly churning, he never bothered to know about the unbearable filth in the imperial city, he always felt that it would be good to just lead the soldiers to fight and guard the gods, these things were far away from him.

But that fifth elder brother, his brother-in-law, his friend who used to talk about everything, betrayed his father-in-law for the sake of power!

A Su said: "Then the lord, don't forget my contribution!"

Si Weiheng smiled and said: "You are indispensable. Thanks to you, An Shangshu and Concubine An are so obedient. In the future, I will find you a noble family to adopt as an adopted daughter, and then come to the palace. How about making you a noble concubine?"

A Su covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Your Highness's words, A Su can remember! Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow! Your Highness can't break his promise!"

Si Weiheng hugged her to his lap, Lei Yan watched the two kiss me, he was angry from the heart, Bai Yin pulled him tightly: "Ah Yan!"

"Hakuin, let go, I'm going to cut them down!"

Bai Yin persuaded: "Ah Yan, think about my sister! This matter should be handled by my sister! You can't be impulsive!"

Lei Yan gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He didn't know how to tell his sister about this matter. That pure and kind sister gave all her love to this heartless man. If she found out, she wondered if she could bear it.

"Hakuin..." he called out tremblingly.Hakuin hugged him in his arms and patted his back to comfort him.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, A Su got off Si Weiheng, straightened her skirt and hair, and walked over to open the door.

A middle-aged man came in dressed in coarse cloth and a dagger on his waist. Both Lei Yan and Bai Yin were taken aback. Could this man be Xu Butou who went with them to Lishui to catch Youdu?

Xu Tutou is tall and burly, Kong Wu is powerful, but his eyes are chaotic, as if covered with a layer of mist, and he greets Si Weiheng: "My lord."

Si Weiheng was stunned for a moment as if he had never seen this person before, and then asked, "You are?"

"No wonder the lord can't recognize it, the body of a mortal is troublesome, it has to be replaced..." His chaotic eyes drifted towards the soft couch by the window, and he snorted, "Does the lord know that two mice have entered this room? No, it's not a mouse, it's a baby!"

Hakuin was startled, this enchantment was invisible to anyone except Baishan disciples.

Before Si Weiheng could react, Xu Tutou drew out the dagger at his waist and slashed at Lei Yan.

When the knife fell, it actually split the barrier, Si Weiheng stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, and shouted tremblingly: "Ah Yan!"

Yegui caught the dagger, Lei Yan stared at him with fire in his eyes: "Si Weiheng! I misread you!"

Si Weiheng's face turned pale in an instant, and his lips trembled: "Ah Yan, you misunderstood..."

Lei Yan swung the dagger and slashed at Xu Bu's head. The dagger was an ordinary weapon, but it survived Yegui's attack.

Bai Yin could see that there was something wrong with Xu Butou, he was like Xiao Mo, there was no trace of life in his body, he was probably a walking dead.

Xu Bu slammed his head against the table, showing his flaws desperately, using his own body to attract the little general's attack, the short knife flashed past, and slashed towards his side.

With a sound of "铛", the dagger was blocked by Tu Lu, and Yegui inserted it deeply into Xu Butou's chest.

Xu Butou didn't seem to feel it, he held Yegui's blade with a smirk, and dark red blood slowly flowed out from his chest and palm.

A Su hid in the corner and screamed desperately. The guard heard the sound and rushed in. He was cut across the neck by a short knife and fell to the ground dead.

There was a running sound from the stairs: "What's going on?"

Bai Yin immediately spread out the barrier, covering the whole room: "Ah Yan, something is wrong with him, the water ghost from Anning County is inside him, catch him!"

Lei Yan nodded, put away the massacre, and grabbed Xu Butou's shoulder with one hand. Before he could touch Xu Butou, Xu Butou took a step back, and Ye Gui withdrew from his chest, leaving a bloody hole. If a mortal would have died already, but He also smiled ferociously: "Little general, this body belongs to a mortal, so you have the heart to kill ordinary people? Didn't you swear to protect the country and the people?"

Lei Yan scolded: "Stop talking nonsense! Are you a fucking human?" Before he finished speaking, Ye Gui chased after him and stabbed him.

Xu Butou dodged sideways, slipped under his hand shortly, jumped in front of Si Weiheng in two steps, and grabbed his shoulder to block him in front of him.

Ye Gui Kankan stopped on Si Weiheng's chest.

Si Weiheng tremblingly said: "Ah Yan..."

Lei Yan looked at him bitterly and refused to let go.

"Why, the little general wanted to kill him just now, why can't he do it now?"

Lei Yan gouged out Si Weiheng's eyes, staring at the empty shell hidden behind him: "You let him go!"

Si Weiheng heaved a sigh of relief, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Let him go? If you let him go, you won't let me go, right? Back off! Or I'll kill him!"

Lei Yan took two steps back, Xu Butou held Si Weiheng to the window, looked at the enchantment outside the window, and said with a sneer, "Only you can trap me?"

After speaking, he pushed Si Weiheng hard, and jumped out of the window as if the barrier didn't exist.

Lei Yan pushed Si Weiheng away and chased him to the window, there was a pool of dark red blood on the ground, and Xu Butou had disappeared.

"Ah Yan, listen to me..." Si Weiheng was in a state of uncertainty, and wanted to grab Lei Yan's arm.

Lei Yan avoided him like the plague, glanced at A Su who was crying in the corner of the wall, and dragged Hakuin away.
