General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The man's eyes were as hot as palms on his waist, Huo Changying's heart froze, and the tips of his ears suddenly felt hot for some reason.

Huo Changying felt... It must be too cold in winter, and his ears were frozen.

Well, it must be so.

He gave a dry cough and quickly restrained the discomfort on his face, but he didn't push Xiao Duo away, instead he leaned into his arms, and in the man's astonished eyes, he suddenly smiled with his lips curled up, and said a formula in his mouth, his bleeding fingers quickly moved Draw Dao Dao talisman paper in the air.

In an instant, the illusory blood-red talisman wrapped the general Mo Xie, like an invisible red thread that entangled the two swords together, and instantly pulled their bodies closer together.

And at the moment when the talisman paper was entangled, the general Mo Xie let out joyful sword whistles.

On that side, the puppet's head was about to roll back along the arm, and the neck twisted and made a backache rubbing sound.

And all this is only in an instant.

"hit!"

Huo Changying stared at the puppet not far away, his face became serious, and he whispered in Xiao Duo's ear.

Xiao Duo, who had just seen Huo Changying's movements and guessed what it meant, immediately understood, put his arm around Huo Changying's waist, jumped up, and quickly stabbed Mo Xie into the puppet's heart at a strange angle.

The puppet paused, the smile on his face froze instantly, the wooden head looked down at his chest, the long sword sank in, and blood gushed out.

The cold sword pierced his only heart.

Consciousness was burned and lost in the scorching talisman paper, as if turning into a gray-black butterfly and flapping its wings to fly to that person, saying goodbye softly.

The puppet's dark eyes gradually began to slacken, but a smile appeared on its face, with a slight bitterness.

The silk thread condensed by the spell is breaking apart, and the consciousness of the puppet condensed in the human world is dissipating.

He thought that from then on, that person would not be with him anymore.

However, he hasn't told that person yet, in fact...

Huge regret and reluctance pulled back the puppet's gradually slackening consciousness for a moment. He suddenly turned his head to look at Huo Changying, opened his mouth, and said something silently. He used up the last of his demonic power to send his wisp of consciousness to Huo Changying's mind. .

He knew that this little celestial master would definitely understand.

Huo Changying concentratingly drew a spell quickly to suppress the overflowing evil spirit. Before he knew it, a cold breath seemed to rush into his eyes.

Huo Changying blinked, not paying attention.

Gan pulled Mo Xie out, and the puppet's body exploded with a bang, and the demonic aura roared and scattered into the sky, Xiao Duo subconsciously held Huo Changying in his arms.

The snow was rolled up by the swelling demonic energy, whirling and wreaking havoc.

And as the puppet cracked, the puppet on the ground that originally besieged Xiao Duo exploded instantly, and was instantly annihilated in the soil.

The abnormal movement disappeared, and the wind and snow stopped.

Huo Changying looked down at the folding fan in his hand in a daze, a moment of hesitation flashed between his brows and eyes.

Just now, he seemed to see many complex emotions from the puppet's black and dull eyes, like bitterness and relief, but with a deep sense of reluctance.

That's definitely not the mood of a manipulative puppet.

So real, like a human being.

Before Huo Changying could think it through clearly, the thick mist that had been lingering around since the puppet appeared just now subsided layer by layer like ocean waves.

Under the clear moonlight, the scene of the backyard in the south of the city was calmly presented to him and Xiao Duo, both of them couldn't help being surprised.

At the same time, Chongrenfang.

In a dark room with winding paths, burning bright red candles are arranged in a strange formation on the ground, and the calming and quiet fragrance winds out from the gilded incense burner with animal mouth in the corner, wisps and wisps, Those who know incense will be surprised to find that this incense is hard to find.

A black-robed man stood in the center of the formation, with something wrapped around his fingers. It could be seen from the back that he was a tall and burly man.

In the air in front of the man, there are countless golden bells floating in a clear array.

Suddenly, the flames of candles around him moved without wind, and the bells and bells vibrated violently, as if they were dying.

The man suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the crazy bell in front of him in disbelief, and then quickly gathered the silk thread in his hand. Suddenly, the silk thread wrapped between the man's fingers broke, and the bells on the thin thread were scattered all over the ground. .

The candle flicked and went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

The hand of the man in black robe holding the thread trembled undetectably, and was instantly submerged in darkness.

So fast that he didn't even notice.

At this time, in the backyard of the south courtyard.

Huo Changying and Xiao Duo were looking at the wall clearly in front of them in shock.

The front wall covered there is exactly blessed by the evil spirit, it is neither rotten nor rotten, lifelike - human face!

Huo Changying opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Including Liu Yu who was not included, there are 24 people in total."

24 faces are 24 lives.

Xiao Duo's stern gaze skipped over the wall one by one, and his gloomy face became even colder.

Most of them are dignitaries in Yong'an City, and a few of them were dispatched from the capital many years ago. It's just...

Although the forbidden army is responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city and obeying the direct dispatch of the emperor, there is actually a secret force assigned from the forbidden army, which is the dark guard.

Supervise the officials of the imperial court and directly obey the emperor's orders.

Xiao Duo narrowed his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind, the emperor asked him to monitor the case, did he discover something?Why is it that most of the officials and dignitaries here, except for a few rich and wealthy people in Yong'an City, are either openly or secretly from the lineage of the Four Princes.

"General Xiao, Xiao Duo?"

Xiao Duo was lost in thought, but he didn't notice that Huo Changying had already called several times in his ear. Once he regained his senses, the serious expression on his face was too late to withdraw, "Why?"

Huo Changying saw Xiao Duo's solemn face staring at the wall, and the eyebrows that were about to pinch a fly again, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although he didn't know the people on the wall, since Liu Yu and Liu Quan were among them, and Xiao Duo looked so serious, most of the people on the wall must be the people on the incense book in the secret room of Jiming Temple.

Among them, the court dignitaries accounted for more than half of them, but they never heard of any other adults missing except Liu Yu.

Contacting the emperor's attitude towards this case, Huo Changying suddenly understood the reason for Xiao Duo's serious face.

He asked Xiao Duo: "What should we do about this matter?"

Xiao Duo rubbed his finger on Gan Jiang's spike for a moment, staring at the wall without saying a word, after a while he walked to the center of the open space and took out something from his arms.

whoosh-

The unique signal flare of the imperial army rushed to the sky, and a unique bright light slid across the sky with the sound of whistle.

The moment Zhao Cheng, who was on standby at Liu's family, saw the signal flare, his expression became serious, and he hurriedly ordered the guards around him to continue to be on duty, and personally led a small number of guards to rush towards the south of the city.

After finishing all this, Xiao Duo turned around and looked back at Huo Changying who was rarely silent. After thinking about it, he explained: "This case is involved, so report it directly to the Emperor Ming."

Seeing that Xiao Duo was still frowning, Huo Changying recalled what the previous Tai Tuo had said about the Xiao family. He said that the Duke of Jin was a pure minister of the court. He never participated in factional disputes. Although his status is embarrassing, he was able to survive three generations in the Great Yin and was only loyal to those who were on the throne.

It's just that Duke Jin's family removed the mansion after Xiao Duo.

There is no other reason, only because Xiao Duo, the great general of Changfeng, died in battle at a young age before he could get married, and there is no one to inherit the title of Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Huo Changying couldn't help but tighten his heart. In his previous life, in the history books, he could calmly watch the life and death of the famous General Changfeng, but now, Xiao Duo is standing in front of him alive, besides...

He thought of the words the man breathed in his ears, as well as the unspeakable emotions in his heart, and he couldn't accept the ending of Xiao Duo's horse leather shroud.

In the past, Xiao Duo was the person he admired and yearned for in his heart, and it was the belief that supported him to live when he was desperate in his previous life, but now, Xiao Duo is to him...

Huo Changying looked up at the man. Under the cold moonlight, the man's side face was resolute and handsome, his thin lips were firm and cold, and his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't understand, he didn't understand what Xiao Duo meant to him now.

But there is one thing that he knows clearly in his heart, that is - he wants Xiao Duo to live.

There were conflicts among factions in the court, if nothing else happened, the crown prince died of illness would be one month later, and after that, the court took a sharp turn for the worse, the emperor couldn't afford to get sick, and the affairs of the court were controlled by the four princes.

Huo Changying opened his mouth, and was about to say something to Xiao Duo, when he suddenly felt a familiar chill coming from the alley.

After a while, he came behind.

Familiar noises rang in his ears, Huo Changying's forehead twitched, his expression calmed down for a moment, he turned to face not far away, and bowed down to salute.

"You two are impermanent, don't come here without any problems."

The author has something to say:

small theater

Xiao Duo (close to): I heard you hate me

Changying (blushing inexplicably): Hmph!

Xiaohei & Xiaobai (smiling): We will just quietly watch you stir up things without saying a word

Xiao Duo: ...

Changying: ...

Make up a small theater, escape from the pot~~~
