In love with the ghost king

When Meng Shen led the army of the Northern Kingdom to press down on the border, he actually saw Chu Yunjing standing on the city wall at a glance.

The weather was cold, but he was only wearing unlined clothes and white clothes. There was a kind of piercing chill and indifference, as if he had passed away.

"Mr. Meng, if you retreat today, I will go back with you." Chu Yunjing's clear and cold voice came, without any emotion, just like an ordinary transaction negotiation.

Meng Shen laughed sarcastically, and really couldn't think of what face he had to say that.

Or, Chu Yunjing wanted to play some conspiracy again.

But the next action really made Meng Shen stunned.

On the city wall, Chu Yunjing took a step forward, with the sword across his neck, without hesitation, he slayed himself, and fell down, bleeding all over the floor.

Everything happened so fast that it seemed unreal. It seemed that the next second, he would stand up and look at Meng Shen indifferently.

A Huan was about to gallop over immediately, but Meng Shen grabbed the reins of the horse, A Huan turned her head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness!"

Meng Shen pursed his lips, did not answer, but raised the knife in his hand and ordered to attack.

The soldiers beside him whizzed by, Dada's horseshoes were deafening, and the city gate was breached not long after.A Huan broke free from Meng Shen, ignored him and flew forward.

When the northern army entered the city, Meng Shen lost his mind for a moment and forgot to give the order not to hurt the people in the city. When he came back to his senses, the city was already full of blood.

He just stood there blankly outside the city, and it was A Huan who came over with Chu Yunjing's body in his arms, and Meng Shen was brought back to his thoughts.

"Your Highness, I brought Mr. Chu back." A Huan's voice was flat, a little cold, very similar to... Chu Yunjing when we first met, he just came to tell Meng Shen, and didn't ask for a response. Go around him and drive away.

"Take it back for what?" Meng Shen's hand holding the rein of the horse trembled slightly.

A Huan rode on the horse, holding Chu Yunjing even tighter, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Chu has kindness to his subordinates, knowing the favor but not repaying it is not A Huan's style of doing things."

Meng Shen smiled: "You helped him set fire to escape?"

Ah Huan nodded.

"What if the king refuses?"

There was hostility in A Huan's eyes.

It was only at this time that Meng Shen realized that the child in front of him had really grown up, perhaps because he had been with Chu Yunjing for a longer period of time, and every move he made had a bookworm air of accepting death.

"Give it to me." Meng Shen said in a daze, stretched out his hand, and was silent for a while. Seeing that A Huan hadn't moved, he said again, "My own princess, do you still need to hug her?"

A Huan bit her lower lip until it turned white, but still cautiously sent Chu Yunjing over, turned around and left without looking at Meng Shen again.

Meng Shen sat on the horseback, listening to the sound of fighting in the city, his heart ached.

The blood on Chu Yunjing's neck had already drained, but it dyed his white clothes red, much like the bright red color when he married him that day.His body was so light and cold that it was effortless for Meng Shen to hug him.

It's just a huge wound on the neck, which is extremely ugly.

Really died, this time for real, died in front of his eyes, and then looked at him, slaughtered his own country, and hurt his own people.

Meng Shen forgot how long it was until the cold wind blew, and A Huan came out and asked him what he should do next.Only then did he slowly say: "Rest for one night, and the teacher will return to court tomorrow."

Leading the army to fight is so absurd, presumably he has been No. 1 through the ages.

He suppressed the opposing voices in the army, insisted on going his own way, and insisted on leading the troops back to the court.

Even he himself couldn't explain why he regarded this war as a child's play.

A few days ago, he had written to Meng Qian about the situation in the court. After reading it, Meng Qian didn't say anything, or maybe he knew it, and it was useless to say it.

This time when he returned to the imperial capital of the Northern Kingdom, he arranged for the people in the court to cooperate with him inside and outside, and carried out a mutiny, so that the leader of the Northern Kingdom would abdicate and give way to the virtuous, which was as easy as pie.

In fact, it did, and everything went as planned, very smoothly.

Meng Shen boarded the dragon chair, the king knelt in front of his eyes, drank the cup of poisoned wine that had been prepared, and the other princes bowed their heads and professed their vassals.

However, he sent the letter to Meng Qian during the day, and at night news came that Meng Qian had committed suicide by drinking poisoned alcohol. His mother couldn't stand it, so she hanged herself.

Meng Shen finally became a loner, alone.

Meng Qian's body was brought back, and after he and Mrs. Meng were buried, he began to revive Chao Gang.

After the first battle in the Southern Kingdom, the people also believed that it was God's will for him to ascend the throne, and it was smooth sailing to govern the country.

But in the main hall, Meng Shen had a splitting headache.

"Is this soul-fixing technique really useful?" Meng Shen asked, looking at Chu Yunjing's body on the bed.

Behind him, the counselor was trembling, he was too frightened to speak, and fell to his knees directly: "Of course it is useful, and the records in ancient books should not be wrong."

He has indeed read from an ancient book that this art of fixing the soul, it is said that within seven days after death, as long as the blood is used as a medium, the soul can stay in the body. Although it cannot bring people back to life, it can. If it is hidden from the eyes of the seductress, it will not be reincarnated as soon as possible.

It is said that the person who invented this medicine was originally a scholar. The scholar and his wife swore to each other, and they were in love with each other.

It's a pity that his wife's life is poor, so she left before him.At that time, the scholar's career was in full swing. He refused to give up his high position and rich salary, and he didn't want his wife to wait by the Naihe Bridge for many years. Such a technique is called solid soul.

It's a pity that the art of fixing the soul can only trap the soul for ten years at most, whether it will damage the soul, others have never known.Because this soul-fixing technique has been lost for a long time, it was only a coincidence that Meng Shen saw it by chance.

Meng Shen had a headache and remembered A Huan's words again.

"Your Highness, you like Mr. Chu." This was the day Chu Yunjing committed suicide, and A Huan rushed into his tent regardless of the soldiers' obstruction, and yelled at him, "It's just that you are greedy for profit and think he is a The pawns are meaningless life and death. But even if it is a fake show, if you do too much, it will become true. How dare you say that, in the past year, you have only been calculating with Mr. Chu, and have no half of the truth?"

Meng Shen was furious: "Presumptuous!" He really didn't know how A Huan changed from a child who talked and bowed his head to a general who stood shoulder to shoulder with him and dared to shout.

"Your Highness won't say it, so I just want to say it." A Huan's armor hadn't been changed during the day, and it was stained with blood, which was also stained with the temperament of rushing into battle during the day. "Your Highness, you know, he asked me about your Likes, how much time I spent writing comments on your book, how much painstaking effort it took to serve you a pastry, hurt myself all over my hands, and returned to the room, even if you ate a few pieces of this He always tells me about small things. You think he is aloof, cold and merciless, but you don't know how much he has done for you and for Beiguo behind his back. "

"In fact, I knew early in the morning that he was going to assist the eldest son of the emperor, so I secretly followed him. Because of this, I heard him say that if Meng Yu came to power one day, I hope that he and you will be allowed to resign and retire. How will Meng Yu treat His Highness?" , doesn’t Your Highness know?”

"As for Your Highness, he took every step of the way, calculated everywhere, gave up his son's intentions, and slaughtered his country, just to stop the mouths of those people in this world... It is really unnecessary."

"Ah Huan is very grateful for His Highness's promotion. A Huan also has a share in the killing in the southern country. Since the kindness of knowledge has been repaid, A Huan does not dare to expect to participate in the great cause of the future. Please, Your Highness, allow A Huan to bid farewell." .”
