I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

After the clan son drowned and died, Zhong Lan ordered people to restrain him and send him back to Nanqiong along with the compensation.The subsequent burials were all done by the family, and he did not ask.However, the clan's son is also named Wen, and news of this matter came out soon after Wen Yao came forward.

"He was buried in the clan cemetery. Because he didn't marry a wife and start a family, he died young and was buried with his children." Wen Yao took off the letterbox from the carrier pigeon's feet and frowned, "I asked the elders of the clan to check it out. , There really is a problem in the cemetery."

Zhong Lang took a sip of tea: "To be specific."

"The mausoleum guards usually don't patrol that corner, so it's hard to determine whether the land over there has been touched." Wen Yao said, "A few years ago, a landslide occurred on the cemetery hill during a heavy rain and buried that corner. Later, I paid someone to clean up the land, refurbished the tomb, and all the traces on the land disappeared.”

It was such a coincidence that if they wanted to verify whether the clan's son had died in a suspended animation and whether he had been dug out, the only way was to open the coffin.

Coincidentally, the envoy sent by Zhong Lang to contact the monks in Qingci Temple also came back.

The missionaries in Qingci Temple said that Li Weisong was favored by the main god back then, and he knew more comprehensive things than them.For a while, Li Weisong acted alone, and they didn't know what Li Weisong did.

Did Li Weisong obey the command of the Lord God, sneak into the cemetery, and rescue the clan son who died in fake death?

He himself died, and this matter is unknown.

Zhong Lan put down his teacup, looked up coldly: "Dig up his tomb and open the coffin."

There was no trace of anxiety or fear in Zhong Lan's expression.Randomly moving the soil of other people's family cemeteries, even the emperor would have to think twice about this matter, if it is not kept properly, it will get a reputation for cruel methods.If their guess is wrong, it would be a great sin to disturb the dead.

However, in Zhong Lang's view now, this is part of his plan, and he doesn't even need to think about it.

Wen Yao withdrew his gaze and didn't say a word extra.

"Yes."

He turned around and went to contact his clansmen, as if he didn't know how many obstacles he would encounter.

However, his straightforwardness fell into Zhong Lan's eyes.He looked at Wen Yao's back, and tapped his fingertips on the table a few times with interest.

"Wen Yao, we've heard about everything in the palace. Let's not talk about you, a man, going to make someone a queen. Let's talk about His Majesty's temperament, maybe he will take you to death tomorrow if he doesn't like you."

"Don't break ground!"

"Quick, stop them! No—"

Sheng Yun ran back panting, knelt down and reported, "The coffin is indeed empty."

It was still bustling just now, but the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

Wen Yao's eyes were piercing: "You all knew that he is not dead?"

"Well, we knew about this matter not much earlier than you... Oh, don't go! Let's go into the room and talk." The elder uncle held him back, "Whether it's you or Shan He, They are all members of the Wen family. After all, this matter is a family matter. Before you go back and report it to the emperor, you have to listen to the difficulties of the family members."

family.Wen Yao sneered.When Nan Qiong was still in the past, these people were relatives of the emperor, and it was not uncommon for them to see the wind make the rudder.Later when he came to power, these people clamped their tails and kept a low profile.Today's Wen family is just an ordinary wealthy family - this is because of Wen Yao's face, many relatives and relatives of other small countries that have been destroyed have been liquidated - but they see that Yao has lost his bright and prominent face Identity, let's put the spectrum of the elders.

The second uncle spoke earnestly: "We have all heard about the change in His Majesty's temperament recently. It's not that the second uncle is alarmist. Back then, you gave up the throne and handed over power to him because he was gentle and kind. Now, you dare to say that he is still Will you treat you well? You have lost your identity on the surface by feigning death before, even though these people respect you so much, in terms of real job, you can't even compare to Sheng Yun."

Seeing that Yao didn't speak, everyone thought that talking moved him.Several people looked at each other, turned their heads and waved to Sheng Yun: "It's almost noon. The old man has arranged lunch for the officials. I just heard that Yao has not returned home for a long time, and our family wants to catch up on the old days, so please invite the officials Wait until the sun is not so hot in the afternoon before returning to the palace."

Sheng Yun looked at Wen Yao with some concern, seeing Yao's expression, he was at a loss, so he answered and took people to the hall for lunch.

Several uncles dragged Wen Yao to the main hall, ordered a rich meal to be arranged, and dragged him to chatter for a long time.

From the beginning to the end, Wen Yao quietly picked up the food in front of him without making a sound.

Put down the chopsticks.He finally raised his eyes: "You don't want His Majesty to know that Wen Shanhe is not dead. Why is that?"

Several uncles looked at each other, thinking that they had moved him, so they leaned over and spoke more heartfeltly.

"Everything is for the family. In the past, the Wen clan was the supreme royal family in Nanqiong, but now it has become a country gentry. There is not even a real head of the family who has the right to speak in the court. As a member of the Wen clan, don't you want to revive it? "

Wen Yao clenched his fists.

"Most of the other extinct countries have the same idea. So His Majesty suppressed them until they couldn't hold their heads up, but we are different. Your Majesty agreed with you before, so you let the Wen family keep their wings." The second uncle was very pleased. Compassionate, "These, we all remember your kindness. But what if one day, His Majesty no longer values ​​you? I heard that His Majesty has recently become aggressive and impersonal."

Their concerns are not without reason.

Wen Yao himself could not confidently tell them, no.

Seeing that his expression was loose, the second uncle finally let out a heavy breath: "The second uncle knows that you are a reliable child of this generation. The past Nanqiong monarch was entrusted to you, and the future patriarchal position will also be yours. If one day , our Wen family can reach the peak again, that would be great."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to ask people to remove the leftovers, then dragged Wen Yao into the inner room.

There were also several respected elders in the clan who went to the inner room together.

The inner room has no windows, and is surrounded by solid stone walls without a single gap.

"Don't you want to know why there is no one in the coffin?" The second uncle said, "Back then, he was indeed suspended animation. However, we only found out about this not long ago."

Wen Yao: "Who told you?"

"himself."

Suddenly, there was a piercing creaking sound from the stone door.The secret door on the other side slowly opened, and a slender figure slowly came out of the shadows.

In the room, all the elders unconsciously lowered their eyes when looking at him, and bowed slightly.

Wen Yao stared at him with dark pupils.

That face is still so familiar, but the years have not left traces on him.He still looks like this boy, nothing has changed.

"Zhong Lan said, you are the main god." Wen Yao said lightly.

The boy opposite narrowed his eyes.In Wen Yao's memory, he has always been an image of being ignorant and domineering, but now he is very quiet, with a loud and unpredictable smile, standing in the judgment position.

The second uncle hurriedly said: "Wen Yao, he is a person favored by God, and he also has the blood of our Wen family. Whether our Wen family can make a comeback depends on him."

Wen Yao turned his head in disdain, knowing that the main god used a little trick to convince these people.

The Lord God smiled and looked at him: "I'm just the Lord God's first person in this world, connecting this world with the outside world."

This small world is very complicated and is not controlled by the main god.

It is precisely because of the existence of this connecting point that the main god can know what happened in the small world and update the second version of the original work.

Wen Yao lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The Lord God smiled and said to him: "Looking at your appearance, Zhong Lang must have returned to his original cold look? At first I thought I could bear his changes, but I can only feel this deep-seated pain when I experience it myself. How about it?" , do you regret it?"

"Maybe." Wen Yao laughed helplessly at himself.

"But I can't help you change Zhonglan back." The Lord God folded his arms in distress, "But..."

It grinned: "If your regret also includes giving up power, then I can help you get the bell down."

"Oh?" Wen Yao asked.

The Lord God naturally knew that the wave of taskers it had just sent in was wiped out.

"I'm recruiting the third batch of taskers. If there is a talented local figure who is willing to cooperate with them to seize power, then I will naturally fully support it."

Wen Yao moved his fingers.

"Of course, I know that your friendship with Zhong Lang is very deep, and you will not let him die." The Lord God immediately added, "Therefore, I can change their task to assist you in seizing power. No one forces you to kill him." Zhong Lang, how you will treat him in the end depends entirely on your own ideas."

It has made substantial concessions.As long as Zhong Lang is unable to escape Wen Yao's confinement, he will be regarded as a kind of 'disappearance' to the outside world, and he can also be trapped.The Lord God really made a huge concession for Zhong Lang.

Suddenly, there was a chuckle.

In the darkness, the candlelight illuminated half of Wen Yao's face.His pupils reflected the human face opposite him.

"I agreed."

Under the guidance of the Lord God, Wen Yao will go to the teleportation point to meet the third batch of taskers.

The meeting point is between the mountains and forests of the Nanban.

Wen Yao and the main god were riding on horses, and there was no other person beside them.

There is a beautiful and mysterious mirror lake in the saddle of rolling hills.The two of them stopped by the lake.The Lord God took out a crystal stone from his body, put it by the lake, and waited quietly for the sunset in the evening.

Wen Yao asked nonchalantly, "Did Li Weisong and the others also come from here?"

"No. The location is determined by the stone on my body. But every time I have to find such a deserted and natural place." The Lord God replied with a smile.

Wen Yao looked back and nodded.

Suddenly, he felt that someone was looking at him, turned his head, and really found that the Lord God was staring at his face unabashedly, with a somewhat playful expression in his eyes.

"As a local person, you know too much. Wen Yao, I hope you don't ask any more questions in the future."

Wen Yao's Adam's apple twitched: "Okay."

The Lord God is satisfied.

Wen Yao's possessiveness is extremely strong, and it is impossible to accept that kind of relationship that may be abandoned at any time.Therefore, even if Wen Yao has selfish intentions, it is impossible for him and the main god to stand on opposite sides.

It is their common goal to restrain Zhong Lang and make Zhong Lang no longer able to move.

As evening fell, the stone was slowly shining.

Wen Yao's eyes fell on the stone by the lake.

If this stone is destroyed, will no one disturb Zhong Lan's life again?

The Lord God noticed his eyes, and evoked an inevitable smile: "Wen Yao, you don't want to wait for the day when you are abandoned by Zhong Lan face to face."

Wen Yao's eyes were fixed at that angle, as if they were rusty, and slowly turned to his face.

The Lord God smiled: "So, you will be very honest with our allies, right?"

Wen Yao half-closed his eyes, and hummed seriously.

"That's great, then..."

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes broke the ground!The deafening birdsong sounded from the surrounding woods, and the birds soared into the sky, drowning the colors of the sky——

The main god's expression changed: "Did Zhong Lan notice it?"

He immediately turned around and said to Wen Yao, "change the location", and went to get the stone that served as the connecting point.

However, a dark red figure flew down from the horse, and tightly squeezed the glowing stone!The huge transmission came to an abrupt end.

The scalding heat burned his palm to a bloody mess, and he couldn't even bend his joints to hold it tightly.

The Lord God stared at Wen Yao and sneered: "Wen Yao, I know yourself better than you. You are ruthless, paranoid, and suspicious. It is impossible for you to be willing to turn your whole heart into a waste product that is trampled on and disposed of by you. You know that I won't be favored by Zhong Lan for a long time, so why do such things?"

In the distance, a figure in a black robe sits on a walking chariot.A huge army surrounded the lake.

Wen Yao said faintly: "You have said it all, you understand me."

The Lord God was taken aback.

Wen Yao held the stone tightly with one hand.The other hand was slowly raised to his mouth, and he gently licked the wound and blood on his palm, as if he felt no pain, and even tasted the taste of blood.

"You know I'm ruthless. But don't you know that my ruthlessness is for me, not for him?" Wen Yao said.

The sound of hooves is getting closer.The Lord God's expression twisted.

This is just its projection, and this is just the shell of an ordinary human being.What it really cares about is the stone - it doesn't have the power to interfere with this small world too much, and the few abilities it has are throwing questers into it, and this stone is one of the few connection points.

He looked around hastily, and then said softly: "Don't talk about it yet. No matter what, if you leave this stone behind, if Zhong Lan abandons you one day in the future, you will have a way out, won't you?"

Wen Yao's pupils narrowed to a point, and he tilted his head slightly.

"I've said it all, my ruthlessness is for myself. I want to gamble with myself, Zhong Lang won't give up on me, so I gamble."

The Lord God was so angry that his eyes were red: "You!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of flying birds flapping very close.

A large group of people came out of the woods.

The main god slowly retreated to the lake, looking at Zhong Lan coldly.

Zhong Lan sat high on the chariot, looked at him with the cold eyes of a superior, and then turned his eyes to Wen Yao.

He stretched out a hand, his slender fingers lightly picked in mid-air.

Wen Yao approached.

Zhong Lan's gaze fell on his clenched, bloody hand, and he looked away lifelessly.

The Lord God sneered at Wen Yao: "How? Is this what you want?"

Suddenly, that slender and skinny hand grabbed Wen Yao's collar and pulled him closer.

"I heard what you said." Zhong Lan stared at Wen Yao, so close that his eyelashes almost tangled, "I really like such a loyal and paranoid person. In the past few years, even though I was too emotional, I had the right vision." .”

The other hand held the back of Wen Yao's head involuntarily, forcing Wen Yao to kiss him domineeringly and domineeringly.
