Dressed as a cannon fodder

Shao Yuqing watched his movements with cold eyes, and watched him go out with the brocade quilt in his arms, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a masked figure by the window standing quietly, taking in their every move .

Catkins exuded a light halo outside the window, and the sharp tip of the blade drew a clear stream of light in the air for a while, and touched Shao Yuqing's neck.

Shao Yuqing didn't know martial arts, and was about to go out when he raised his foot, when he felt a stabbing pain in his neck, he stretched out his hand and felt a stream of blood.

"Who!"

The long sword appeared, holding the sword was a slender white hand, Shao Yuqing took a deep breath: "How did you get in?"

"Hmm..." said the man behind him, "Is this important?"

The veins on Shao Yuqing's forehead throbbed.

This man saw his true face and couldn't stay.

"what do you want"

Meng Yunchi chuckled, "If I say, I want to know why you put the devilish energy on the scroll to murder His Majesty?"

Shao Yuqing took a breath.

He hooked his right index finger slightly, and suddenly something flew out of his arms, and the room was filled with demonic energy, rushing towards Meng Yunchi.

Lin Cheng came back quickly, taking advantage of Meng Yunchi's siege to take Shao Yuqing back in his arms at a risk, and Meng Yunchi almost cut off an arm.

"Your Excellency," Meng Yunchi raised his sleeves and waved away the demonic energy without being affected in the slightest: "Why do you always have reservations, or..." He raised his sword: "You can't use your full strength at all."

"If it's the latter—" He smiled slightly, accumulated his spiritual power, swung his sword, and roared towards the two of them with the force of thunder, "That would save a lot of trouble."

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and rolled the person in his arms to avoid the blow, and pushed Shao Yuqing out of the door violently.

He swung his sleeves and closed all the doors and windows, bit his finger and drew a rune in the air using blood as a guide. The rune was completed and suddenly expanded, sealing all the doors and windows in the room and cutting off Meng Yunchi's way out.

Lin Cheng's black pupils turned blood red, and the wind suddenly rose.

Weird blood-colored lines appeared on his right hand, and the lines ran down the fingertips, gradually spreading into the shape of a sword.The blood-colored long sword was formed, and he swung the sword forward with a ruthless expression.

The indoor space is not too big, and it was destroyed by the aftermath of the confrontation between the two in a short while. Lin Cheng was originally injured, and the wound was affected by his movements. Gradually blurred.

Until the long sword was broken by Liu Xu's blow.

Lin Cheng's face lost all color, and he vomited blood from his heart when he was thrown on the ground. The restraint in the room disappeared. Meng Yunchi waved his sleeves, and the door suddenly opened, revealing Shao Yuqing who was caught by a blurry figure outside the door.

Seeing the figure capturing Shao Yuqing clearly, Lin Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and suddenly he shouted: "Yuqing!"

The earth ghost pinched Shao Yuqing's neck, stared straight at Shao Yuqing, his eyes pierced through the mouth and reached the soul, and his throat moved slightly.

The little thing under his hand couldn't stop struggling, trying to escape in vain, the earth ghost squeezed tightly dissatisfied, and Shao Yuqing was almost suffocated.

"Let him go!"

"Oh..." Meng Yunchi took his time.

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth, "You can do whatever you want, just let him go."

"Then I want you to remove the magic energy attached to the scroll?"

"Of course!"

"Oh!" Shao Yuqing struggled harder.

Seeing the bruised and purple skin on his neck, Lin Cheng said sharply, "Don't move!"

"Don't move." His voice was almost pleading.

He almost died in the hands of that local ghost before, so he naturally knew how powerful this thing is, "I can do anything you want, but please let him go, I did everything, he is just a mortal , these things have nothing to do with him."

"Really?" Meng Yunchi looked at these two people, inexplicably feeling like the villain who broke up the two miserable protagonists in a TV series.

"...I just want you to remove the devilish energy from Zheng Jiewan's scroll."

"How dare you!" Shao Yuqing said suddenly.

His face was flushed, and he was almost suffocated, but he still wanted to stop the two from talking.

Zheng Jiewan has no ambition at all, he is not suitable to be the king at all.

How many years he had planned for that position, but failed every time, but Zheng Jiewan was destined to become the co-lord of the world, favored by destiny, and could easily get what he would never get anyway.

Fortunately, he met Lin Cheng.

If assassination, poisoning and accidents can't get rid of Zheng Jiewan, then he can use Lin Cheng's devilish energy to slowly consume the real dragon energy in Zheng Jiewan's body, then erode his body, and let him die in the sick.

Once Zheng Jiewan dies, he will take down all the military power in his hands and become a master in one fell swoop.

For this reason, he devoured nearly half of Lin Cheng's vitality, and became this half-human, half-devil ghost.In order not to make people suspicious and to conceal the fact that he is not old, he pretended to be old year after year, even though his heirs are now older than his face.

He couldn't get what he wanted for most of his life. He was unwilling, angry, and resented the injustice of fate, but there was nothing he could do.Shao Yuqing squeezed out every single word from his throat: "No... answer... yes to him."

"Oh" Meng Yunchi looked at him, "You don't want to"

"No..." Shao Yuqing's eyes turned hard.

Of course he didn't want to.

Lin Cheng interrupted Shao Yuqing's words, and said: "I will take back those devilish energy, and please release Yuqing, he is just a mortal."

Except that his life is as long as that of people in the devil world, he has no ability to protect himself at all, let alone his life is still in the hands of others.

He raised his hand to pinch the formula, and there was an outline of black air faintly in the air. Lin Cheng crushed the outline of black air with five fingers. Zheng Jiewan, who was far away in the palace, seemed to feel it. The uncomfortable breath on the picture scroll on the stage has disappeared.

Zheng Jiewan unfolded the painting scroll, revealing a black figure in a wide-sleeved robe inside. The protagonist tilted his face slightly, lowered his head to serve a fire lily, his long hair was not exposed, and he brushed the petals carelessly with his fingertips down. The posture of heaven and man is vivid on the paper.

Just a glance will be hooked.

"Lin, Cheng." Shao Yuqing almost gritted his teeth.

The earth ghost suddenly let go, he fell to the ground coughing and clenched his fists.

Meng Yunchi's goal was achieved, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned and left.

The earth ghost's movements seemed to be slow, but it unknowingly followed Meng Yunchi's footsteps, and left with him with all four limbs, as docile as a tamed dog.

Lin Cheng climbed forward to help Shao Yuqing up, but was caught off guard and slapped hard.

Shao Yuqing hated it extremely, and her voice was slightly high-pitched, "He told you to take back the magic energy, so you can take it back. I told you not to take it! Just listen to him like this!"

Lin Cheng's head was tilted to one side, blood flowed down his mouth and nose, and fell on the ground patteringly, he was silent for a long time, and he spoke softly: "Yuqing, you are injured, you have to see it first A bruise on the neck."

Snapped.

His head was slapped to the other side again, Shao Yuqing was so angry that his whole body trembled slightly: "Get out! Get out!"

Lin Cheng raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face, "Yes, Yuqing, don't be angry, I'll get you medicine."

"Get out! Don't come back!" Yuqing was disgusted, "I saw your disgusting face."

……

When he was out the door, he sat back on the ground and covered his face.

He waited for a full 20 years, and finally reached this point, but all his plans were disrupted by a cultivator who jumped out halfway.

After nearly half an hour, the figure on the ground finally moved. Shao Yuqing moved his hand away from his face, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Zheng Jiewan," he murmured, "Why is your life so hard..."

The palace was lit all night, and lined up on the winding corridors. The handsome attendants held the lamps and bowed their heads and walked quickly. The footsteps were soft, and the distance between each step was the same length, which was very particular.

In the silent night, there was the sound of fast walking and pedaling on the wooden floor, which was abnormally rapid.It was said that the palace servants rushed to the emperor's bedroom with their clothes on and their faces full of anxiety.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Meng is back."

Zheng Jiewan's hands holding the corner of the scroll trembled, "Bi, pass on to Xianchang Meng!"

"Yes." The palace servants originally followed the order to monitor the situation of Meng Yunchi's master and apprentice's dormitory. Now that they got the new order, they acted according to the new order without hesitation, and went out with a thump.

Not long after, he saw the figure wearing the curtain stepping in from outside the hall, his steps were slow and his demeanor was calm.

Meng Yunchi entered the door and said, "It must be that the evil energy on your majesty's scroll has been removed."

"Yes," Zheng Jiewan's expression moved slightly, "Elder Meng."

"Yeah." The other party tilted his head slightly, and stood still at His Highness, "What else can His Majesty order?"

"No..." Zheng Jiewan rubbed his fingers behind his back a few times, and said: "I was a little curious before, and I didn't know what it looked like under the elder's curtain. Today, the magic energy in the picture scroll disappeared, and it must be the work of Elder Meng. The widow will have a great reward. It's just—"

He paused, "I just have an unfeeling request, can I ask Elder Meng to take off the curtain so that I can see the beauty of my benefactor," he said with a smile, "because I'm really curious, if the fairy elder If you don't want to, you don't have to—"

"can."

Meng Yunchi didn't do much else, he raised the curtain with one hand, looked at Zheng Jiewan and said, "This way we can see clearly."

Zheng Jiewan gasped and trembled uncontrollably.

He had seen the face hidden under the veil more than a thousand times.

That was the person on the picture scroll, and now he was standing in front of him alive. After so many days, he didn't realize until now.

Zheng Jiewan lost his hand, the scroll fell to the ground with a soft sound, and the scroll slowly rolled to one side, revealing the contents inside.Meng Yunchi stared at it, his expression slightly paused.

"Xian... Xian Chang..."

Zheng Jiewan walked down from the top of the hall step by step, walked up to Meng Yunchi with good eyesight, stretched out his hand very restrainedly, as if he wanted to touch his face, but felt that this was too out of bounds, the outstretched hand struggled halfway in the air It made a loud noise, falling down unwillingly.

He said: "You know, how long have I been looking for you..."
