The whole cultivation world regards me as a group favorite [Crossing Books]

She admitted: "Mr. Yunqi, I can indeed identify some of the poisons and forbidden spells on those monks. Some belong to the ghost clan. Only by finding the caster can they be unlocked."

"I guess this is part of the plan of my father Wang and Mr. Ding. They should know the inside story in their hearts. Although they can't do anything for the time being, this matter can be entrusted to me."

Ye Huaiyao asked: "What is their purpose in doing this?"

Sai Yinzhu said: "I don't know, since Mr. Ding came, my father has gradually stopped trusting me, and I can only guess a lot of things by myself."

According to what she said, Sai Yinzhu was originally a noble princess of the ghost clan. She herself is also shrewd and capable. She is highly valued and favored by the ghost king on weekdays, and many things are left to her.

But after that night, Sai Yinzhu gradually felt that her father seemed to have other plans behind her back, and his attitude gradually became colder.

The king of ghosts who has always been xenophobic began to be particularly keen on recruiting outsiders to become citizens of the ghost clan.

"As the saying goes, it's always called 'replacing the dead ghost, seducing the ghost'. Ghosts are born with the ability to confuse other people's minds and seduce people from the yang world to the underworld. In order not to cause too much trouble and attract the underworld to investigate, we let outsiders enter this place, and People from the ghost race are very strictly restricted when they go to the checkpoints in Yangjian."

Sai Yinzhu said: "When I found out that my father sent many people to Yangjian, I felt very incomprehensible, and because of this, I had a conflict with him. Later, he deliberately avoided me when arranging related matters. , I don't want to intervene too much."

"As for the ghost king's banquet, I only heard that there were more people scrambling to come, but since I didn't receive any news about the increase in the number of ghost king's banquets, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"It wasn't until Jun Yunqi talked to my father yesterday that he mentioned the monks being poisoned by forbidden spells, which made me feel wrong. I went back to investigate and found that although these poisons and forbidden spells cannot be said to be the source of all of them. With the ghost clan, but absolutely inseparable from the ghost clan."

Ye Huaiyao said: "It is precisely because of this that the princess knows that if I want to rescue those people, I must have the same purpose as you, so I came here."

Sai Yinzhu nodded: "The ghost race has a special physique and can only live in the underworld. Originally, it is the best state to maintain a good relationship with the human race and the demon race. At least the expansion of the territory and the increase in the population will not only make people Apart from being the target of public criticism, there is no benefit at all. I don't know why Mr. Ding stopped my father from doing this, but I want to stop him and hope to get Ming Sheng's help."

Ye Huaiyao said cheerfully: "You are welcome, princess, I also hope to get your help to establish a temporary cooperative relationship."

He smiled slightly, pleasing to the eye: "Of course, if this relationship can be maintained after the problem is solved, I would be more happy to see it."

Sai Yinzhu's mentality is just to hope to be able to live in peace, guarding the achievements of his ancestors.

Her character is much friendlier than the ambitious ghost king. From the standpoint of the human race, Ye Huaiyao certainly wants the ghost race to be controlled by Sai Yinzhu.

But what Sai Yinzhu didn't know was that compared to saving those monks, Ye Huaiyao also attached great importance to another matter, that is the true identity of Mr. Ding that Sai Yinzhu said.

Jun Zhihan, shopkeeper Ding, Mr. Ding?

This changing disguise and identity, is it the same person, and is it the one he is looking for?

Ye Huaiyao took a deep breath and said, "I want to meet that Mr. Ding first."

Mentioning this person, Sai Yinzhu obviously had a lot of resentment: "It's not hard to find this person. He often advises and counsels with his father. Mingsheng doesn't need to invite you deliberately, and he will probably meet you tomorrow. But this person is ugly and cunning. Sexuality, nothing can be seen on the surface..."

As she said this, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Before Sai Yinzhu asked, someone rushed in and immediately fell to the ground upon seeing her: "Princess!"

Sai Yinzhu felt ashamed, and scolded: "In front of the distinguished guests, you are so presumptuous, do you have any rules?"

The man tremblingly said: "Princess forgive me, something serious happened! The second prince, the second prince... was assassinated and died!"

Sai Yinzhu and Ye Huaiyao stood up at the same time.

Taqige's death was beyond everyone's expectation. His status was unusual, and now the whole ghost clan was in chaos.

The body was found in the garden. By the time Ye Huaiyao and Sai Yinzhu arrived, many people had gathered around the scene, but the Ghost King hadn't arrived yet.

"Takig!"

Although he was not from the same mother, and he was not too close emotionally, but it was his brother after all, Sai Yinzhu hurried to the front to check the situation.

The people around made way for the princess. Ye Huaiyao stood beside Sai Yinzhu, and saw a corpse lying on the ground, wearing the same robe that Taqige had worn yesterday.

The physique of the people in the ghost clan is very special, because their body and soul cannot be separated, so after death, the body will be quickly corroded by the overflowing soul power, and the whole person will gradually turn into mud.

Taqig didn't know how long he had been lying here. His exposed face and arms had already turned brown, and his facial features were dull and blurred like clay figurines on the street.

Since there was just a light rain last night, Taqige's whole body was wet, and at this moment his body was already showing faint signs of melting.

Sai Yinzhu was completely confused, staggered a bit, and murmured: "How could this happen?"

Ye Huaiyao was also shocked by this incident, but after thinking about it, he felt very strange.

Seeing that Taqige couldn't even see his facial features clearly, he felt moved and asked, "Are you sure this is the second prince?"

Sai Yinzhu was taken aback by Ye Huaiyao's words, her heart trembled slightly, and she felt that he had some deep meaning, so she pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the corpse.

Beads of blood seeped in.

Sai Yinzhu said: "There is only one adult man in the palace who is related to me by blood, Taqige."

The Ghost King doesn't have many heirs, and the other princes and princesses are still children, that is to say, it is absolutely impossible for the corpse on the ground to be someone else who changed clothes to pretend to be.

While the two were talking, the ghost king's voice came from behind: "What's wrong with Taqige!"

As he came in a hurry, the surrounding crowd stepped aside and saluted spontaneously, but no one dared to answer his words, for fear that the ghost king would lose his mind and take anger on himself after seeing the tragic death of the second prince.

This time, the ghost king was followed by a man in a black cloak. Sai Yinzhu turned around and saw it, and leaned over to Ye Huaiyao and whispered, "It's him, Mr. Ding."

Ye Huaiyao glanced at the man.I saw that he was about the same height as the ghost king, but the cloak was wide, covering his figure, and there was a hood on his head, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

He looked away thoughtfully.

After the ghost king saw Taqige on the ground, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry and invite the imperial doctor over!"

The imperial doctor had already arrived, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and squeeze over, saying in a trembling voice: "My Majesty, my condolences, the second prince cannot be saved anymore!"

Anyone who is not blind can see this.

The ghost king suddenly turned his head and stared at him, the imperial doctor shrank his head in fright, but fortunately, the other party's eyes quickly moved away, and he swept sharply over the onlookers present.

"Immediately seal the palace and investigate relevant clues." The ghost king ordered coldly, "until the murderer is found out!"

In the past, the entire territory of the ghost clan was almost closed, and there must be people from the same clan on the left and right. It would not be difficult to find out the murderer.

But just at this time, there were a thousand outsiders including Ye Huaiyao and Rong Wang in the Ghost King's Palace, mixed with fish and dragons, it would not be surprising if something happened, and it would be easy for people to suspect them.

Hearing the ghost king's order, the head of the ghost clan's bodyguard hurriedly took orders to investigate as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The people around held their breaths and did not dare to speak. At this moment, Mr. Ding who was standing beside the ghost king suddenly spoke.

He asked: "Where is Bei Cang Demon Monarch?"

With this tone and voice, Ye Huaiyao immediately confirmed that Mr. Ding was definitely Treasurer Ding.

Sure enough, the ghost king obeyed this man's words, and when he heard his question, he immediately ordered someone to invite Rong Huang to come over.

"No more please."

At this time, Rong Wang who received the news had already walked over.

In such a situation where everyone is sad, surprised, or angry, his face has a kind of indifference and leisure, and he looks... very in need of a beating.

Rong Wang glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said: "I have already heard the report that Prince Taqige died unexpectedly. I don't know if the ghost king is not busy investigating the murderer, so what's the point of looking for me?"

The ghost king took a look at Mr. Ding, and Mr. Ding asked Rong Wang: "I wonder if the devil king of Beicang saw the second prince during the period between the ghost king's banquet yesterday and the accident this morning?"

Rong Hua replied: "I have seen it."

At the beginning, when the ghost king said he was looking for Beicang Demon Lord, everyone didn't feel anything. After all, Rong Fan and Ye Huaiyao are outsiders here, and they belong to VIPs with freedom of movement. Ye Huaiyao is here, ask Rong Rong Arrogant whereabouts, reasonable and reasonable.

But if Rong Wang really met Taqige before his death, then there might really be something wrong.

Mr. Ding asked: "When, where, and why did we meet?"

Rong Wan stared at him with a half-smile, but it was rare that he didn't care about the other party's tone, and said: "I saw you at Yunqi-jun's residence when I passed the night last night."

"At that time, Taqige came to Mr. Yunqi, saying that he was ordered by the ghost king to communicate with him. Because I happened to be there, I thought that the ghost king would definitely not make such an unreasonable request. He must be looking for trouble. , so let him go."

Rong Zhuang said indifferently: "That's it."

Anyone could tell that Rong Huan was obviously mocking on purpose. It seemed that Taqige was instructed by the Ghost King that night to find Ye Huaiyao on purpose.

As if he didn't hear anything, the Ghost King asked Ye Huaiyao, "Ming Sheng, is that so?"

Ye Huaiyao said: "That's right, I was with the devil at that time, and I heard the second prince talking to him, but I didn't go out."

The ghost king said: "You two seem to be on bad terms right now, why would the devil come to your room to look for you late at night?"

When he was speaking, he looked at Ye Huaiyao with a strange look in his eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or hatred, or eager nostalgia.

Ye Huaiyao is not ordinary regardless of his identity or appearance. He is used to being looked at with all kinds of eyes on weekdays. It is common to be jealous or obsessed with him.

In normal times, Ye Huaiyao would not have paid special attention to such eyes, but he had to think more about Rong Rong's preposterous remarks before.

Did Sangjia look at him like this before?I have no impression at all.

Rong Huang rushed ahead of Ye Huaiyao and answered the ghost king's question for him: "There is no disagreement between the two of us, it's just that we have different opinions on certain things. I want to go to Mr. Yun Qi to clarify the misunderstanding, but Is there anyone else?"

Even in this situation, some people nearby couldn't help but secretly felt funny when they heard Rong Wang's words.

This Beicang Demon Lord had a cold face and a haughty and domineering look, and he spoke as if he was going to accomplish some grand ambition.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just that after eating a lot of flying vinegar, I felt distressed and regretted, so I sneaked into bed in the middle of the night to make my lover happy.

Being questioned that the relationship between the two is not good, they hastily reiterated that the conflict between the two is just a small conflict, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to dig a corner.

Rao Ye Huaiyao's focus was mainly on the Ghost King, and when he heard Rong Wang's words, his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

In the past, Rong Wang held everything in his heart, and it was more difficult for him to hear the truth than to go to heaven, but now it is better, he should say what he should say, and he should not tell the whole story.

It seems that they are trying their best to let the whole world know how inseparable the relationship between the two of them is, and they can't break it even if they quarrel.

Ye Huaiyao lowered his head and coughed lightly as if to cover up, glanced inadvertently, and suddenly noticed a suspicious point.

Because it just rained last night, not only Taqige's body was watered, but even the ground in the garden was a little muddy.

When Ghost King and Mr. Ding walked over, they also left faint footprints, and Ye Huaiyao saw those footprints just now.

He found that when the ghost king walked, the distance between every two steps was less than half shorter than that of Mr. Ding.

This is very unreasonable, the two are adult men of about the same height, even if the ghost king's body proportions are out of balance, and his legs are a bit shorter than others, he would not be able to take such small steps when walking normally.

His way of doing this reminded Ye Huaiyao of the maids and concubines he had seen in the palace. They paid attention to not showing the corners of their skirts when walking. After years of training, they had the so-called elegant posture of growing lotuses every step of the way.

Okay, there is another layer of evidence that the ghost king was possessed by Sangjia, but the problem is that he didn't walk like this yesterday.

With doubts in mind, many flaws are easier to be discovered.

Taking advantage of Rong Wang's time talking to them, Ye Huaiyao swept around the ghost king again.

It stands to reason that the soul and body of the ghost clan are one, which means that they cannot be taken away. Ye Huaiyao had the idea that this person might be impersonated, so he observed it very carefully.

Face, clothing, accessories...

This time, his eyes fell on the ghost king's hands.

Hands and face were the only parts of his body that were not covered by clothes. Ye Huaiyao found that there was an inconspicuous jagged scar on the back of Ghost King's hand, which was about to fade away.

He raised his right hand, and there was a similarly shaped scar on his wrist, but it was longer and deeper than that of the ghost king.

This small wound was left when Ye Huaiyao subdued the mountain beast earlier.

There are many flower vines and vines growing on the back of the mountain beast. The edges of the petals and leaves are all jagged. If it is accidentally drawn on the body, it is easy to leave bloodstains.

Ye Huaiyao was scratched at that time, knowing that this small injury would fade away in a few days, he didn't care.

But now, he found the same traces on the Ghost King's body.

There is only one mountain beast, which lives in the outermost part of the ghost domain. The ghost king has not even left the palace these days. How could he be injured by the leaves of the mountain beast?

And just now when he questioned whether Taqige's body was faked, Sai Yinzhu confessed her relatives with blood, and said that Taqige was the only adult man in the whole palace who was related to her by blood.

In fact, this is not the case, besides Taqige, there is also the ghost king!

A certain idea flashed through his mind, and Ye Huaiyao heard Mr. Ding say "I didn't kill Taqige, it's just the devil's one-sidedness", and even cut him off.

Ye Huaiyao said: "I can prove that the devil did not kill the second prince."

The ghost king said: "Ming Sheng, if this sentence was put in the past, no one would dare to doubt your credibility, but now with your relationship with the devil, this proof may not be very convincing."

Ye Huaiyao looked directly at him, raised the corner of his lower lip and said, "Taqige is not dead at all, how to kill him?"
