Liu Qingyan looked troubled.

"Uh... I guess the green-faced fangs are just masks. This guard is a bit old and confused. He just made it up. Your Highness, do you still want to listen?"

Li Yunxi became more interested, "Of course."

Liu Qingyan took out a small yellow book and read according to the record,

"When the red-clothed ghost learned that he had fallen into the trap, he roared angrily and started killing everyone in all directions. Everyone he hit fell to the ground and died immediately. The soldiers were afraid of him and did not dare to step forward."

Li Yunxi smiled and said, "That's just the poison hidden in the weapon."

Liu Qingyan skipped a few lines of nonsense and continued reading,

"After all, the ghost in red was outnumbered. He was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground. The emperor came out of the shelter and wanted to find out his identity. Who knew that the ghost in red jumped up again and attacked the emperor."

Li Yunxi interjected, "It seems that this person hates the old man deeply!"

Liu Qingyan read again,

"Fortunately, General Chen reacted quickly and stabbed him through the heart. Before the ghost in red fell down, he was still laughing, saying that even if he was a ghost, he would die with the emperor. Everyone disagreed."

"Suddenly there was a strong wind and the Tengu eclipsed the sun. In the darkness, everyone was shocked to see ghost fires filling the sky and flames all over the fields. The soldiers wanted to flee, but fell to the ground one after another. At this time, the ghost in red pulled out the arrow root, He stood up slowly."

"That was really a hell." Li Yunxi played with the cherries and asked curiously, "What happened next?"

Liu Qingyan turned a page and read,

"In the midst of the flames soaring into the sky, General Chen led his troops to fight to the death with the ghost in red. The ghost in red's body was bruised, dripping with blood, and his arms were broken, but he still stood tall. Everyone was frightened."

"Until General Chen stabbed a glowing stone on the chest of the red ghost. After a burst of dazzling red light, the red ghost fell to the ground and died, and General Chen also fainted."

"The officers and soldiers were quickly overwhelmed by the fire. While we were escorting the emperor up and down the mountain, we encountered a ghost breaking into the wall and lost our way. We finally escaped death."

"In this Zen ceremony, there are visions coming from the sky, revenge of ghosts and monsters, heavy casualties, so terrifying, I am afraid that the emperor of heaven will be angry..."

Li Yunxi waved his hand, "Okay, don't read those feelings to me, but has anyone seen the assassin's true face?"

Liu Qingyan replied, "The old guard said that the green-faced fangs were like the sticky ones on the face. If they were taken off by force, they would be completely unrecognizable. He said that ghosts have no face at all."

"Ghost..." Li Yunxi rubbed his chin, his eyes drifting away.

"Qing Yan, that night at the Duke of Qing's mansion 18 years ago, do you think we really encountered a ghost?"

"Your Highness, you mean...?" Liu Qingyan was a little surprised.

Eighteen years ago, Han Xiao was sentenced to death by the emperor for murdering the prince. Everyone tried their best to hide it from the Fifth Highness, but they still let the Fifth Highness know.

On the night of Han Xiao's first seven days, His Highness the Fifth Prince forced Liu Qingyan to take him to the sealed-off Qingguo Palace to see Han Xiao's "ghost". Originally, Liu Qingyan only thought of it as fulfilling an unfulfilled wish of His Highness the Fifth Prince, but he didn't expect to actually see it. ghost".

He was entangled by a group of "female ghosts" in white clothes. He couldn't find the Five Highnesses, so he started fighting with those "female ghosts". Then it rained, and those ghosts suddenly disappeared. He hurriedly went to find the Five Highnesses. His Highness, he found that His Highness Five had fallen asleep on the couch in the house.

When he got up early, His Highness Five said that he had met Brother Han's "ghost" and that he had carried him into the house.

Later, for a long time, His Highness the Fifth Prince always forced him to sneak to the Qingguo Palace to find "Brother Han", but he never saw the vision again. In the end, he burst into tears in disappointment, saying that Brother Han had abandoned him. , and never mentioned the matter again.

After recalling for a moment, Liu Qingyan replied

"It's really like a ghost. It's invisible and invisible. It's like killing nothing. I feel a little scared when I think about it."

Li Yunxi thought about it, "But then I was thinking about how your so-called nothingness could talk to me and pick me up?"

"This...Qing Yan doesn't know either."

Talking about the past, the smile in Li Yunxi's eyes disappeared. After a brief silence, he asked again, "What are the characteristics of the assassin?"

"The guard said that he was more than nine feet tall, with a well-proportioned figure, and his voice sounded quite young. However, the body is probably burned out. Should I send someone to look for it again?"

Li Yunxi's eyes flashed for a moment, as if he suddenly lost his energy. He closed his eyes and leaned back, rubbing his fingers together until they almost broke.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, sighed softly, and hid all his emotions in a light smile.

"That's all, I don't want to investigate this matter anymore."

He turned over and lay down on his side, with his back to Liu Qingyan, and said softly,

"I am a little tired, please go out first."

Liu Qingyan was surprised that His Highness, who was in high spirits just now, suddenly lost his energy, but he couldn't say much. Just as he was about to leave, Li Yunxi stopped him again,

"Take the cherries too. I suddenly lost my appetite. Eat them all for me. Don't waste them."

Liu Qingyan bowed and retreated while holding the cherries.

There was silence in the room. After a while, a slight whisper came from the back,

"Brother Han, he is not you, right? You must still be alive and living peacefully somewhere in this world..."
