Chen Shi

Cui Yan, who was not in a good mood, rushed like a tiger into the frustrated small group hiding in the corner and said bad things, and told them with practical actions that the frustration just now was nothing, and the real frustration will come next.

The drunken ministers walked out of the palace gate in groups, and before they had time to say goodbye, they were coaxed up by the black armored soldiers and asked to continue their stalls in the prison.

With the splash of cold water, my mind suddenly cleared up. Looking at the gloomy prison cell and the bloody instruments of torture, the hearts of the ministers trembled like candles in the wind, crying and begging for mercy.

The military adviser who had just been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice waved his fan and walked out with a smile: "How are you eating well tonight, ministers?"

For a Hongmen banquet, whoever eats it will know.

The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

The military adviser said: "Everyone is very dissatisfied with King Chen Liu."

Ministers look at me and look at you, and dare not speak up.

The military adviser said: "It doesn't matter. The new dynasty has just been established, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. We need you to speak out. I am ordered by your majesty to talk freely with you. You can speak freely without any scruples."

These ministers have all experienced the era when Yang Zhongju dominated the court, and they have tried so many routines, how could they be easily fooled, and they all said that they were talking nonsense after drinking and it didn't count.

The military adviser lowered his face: "Adults are hesitant to say anything, are they afraid of being punished for their words? Do you think that His Majesty is a person who doesn't know right from wrong and who doesn't know good from evil? If that's the case, then I have no choice but to ask you to think carefully." , Just put people to death.

After only a few strokes of the whip, the ministers couldn't bear it anymore, and they all expressed that they knew everything and said everything, and wanted to show their hearts.

The military adviser recorded what they said, asked a few more questions, and after sorting out the answers, he said, "Your Majesty also has a few words to explain to you." He took out a booklet from his pocket and charged these people with crimes. Read them one by one.

"These are old things of the Chen Dynasty. His Majesty didn't want to pursue them, but you are jealous, and His Majesty can only fulfill them."

After the military master finished speaking with a smile, he left the crying ghosts and wolves behind, compiled the confession into a book overnight, and sent it to the palace.

As soon as Cui Yan woke up, she received the brochure. Chen Zhi heard the movement inside, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"

"Some corrupt officials have been dealt with, and confessions are being sent in." He opened the booklet and skimmed through the confessions of those people. The whole article was full of accusations of Chen Yingke's mediocrity, and there was no clue that Yang Zhongju abused the emperor, so he couldn't help frowning.

Chen Zhi put on his clothes, and walked out while wearing them: "Is it the group of people who spoke ill of me?"

Cui Yan folded the booklet, put it in her sleeve, and went to help him tidy up his clothes: "A Chi want to intercede for them?"

Seeing him getting closer, Chen Zhi pushed him away: "That depends on what crime they are charged with."

"What more charges are needed. What they said last night was disrespectful." Cui Yan said.

Chen Zhi thought it made sense, so he said: "Act in accordance with the law." Afraid that he would obey the law, he added, "Now the eyes of the whole world are looking at you. People can't fault it."

Cui Yan smiled and said, "With idiot by my side, there is no chance for me to make a mistake."

"It's time for you to go to court." Chen Zhi yawned, "I'll lie down after breakfast."

Cui Yan said, "Come with me."

Chen Zhi refused without thinking: "I won't go."

The two argued for a while, but Cui Yan finally refused to force him, and after having breakfast together, she went to court alone.

Chen Zhi dragged the quilt and ran to the roof to take a nap.

A few sparrows flew from afar, disturbing people's dreams by chirping.

Chen Zhi was tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and was about to continue in another place, when he heard a chuckle, a man with silver hair and gray robe fell from the sky and landed on the roof, looking at him with a smile: "Young friend Chen Zhi, how are you doing these days. "

Chen Zhi hurriedly rubbed his eyes and stood up: "I've seen Lord Beihe."

Beihe Shenjun asked him to spread the quilt again, and the two of them sat cross-legged on it: "Looking at the expression of my little friend, I am afraid that the errand in hand may be a winning ticket."

Chen Zhi smiled wryly, "Now I don't dare to speak big words."

When Cui Yan rebelled, he thought that he was about to be liberated. When Beihe Shenjun visited him, he boasted that he would go to Kunlun to see the top flowers together in the next year, but now he has not gone for many years.

Beihe Shenjun said: "Hey, if you persevere, you will not break the rotten wood; if you persevere, you can carve gold and stone. My little friend is determined, what can't be done? Don't underestimate yourself."

Chen Zhi cupped his hands to show that he was educated.

Beihe Shenjun said: "I want to go to Penglai, and I passed by the capital, so I came to visit. I don't know how the epiphyllum is growing. Is it showing its youth, so that my friends can see it first?"

Chen Zhi said in embarrassment: "It's not well raised, this...is dead."

Beihe Shenjun asked in surprise: "Isn't my little friend nourished by immortal power?"

"I forgot it for a while, I didn't have time..." Chen Zhi subconsciously concealed the fact that the flower was killed by Cui Yan, "But I have collected a few new pots. If you are interested, you might as well take a look."

Lord Beihe readily agreed.

The two went to Xiancaoyuan.

Ever since Cui Yan ordered the black armored soldiers to take care of it, the Immortal Grass Garden has truly flourished, with seasonal flowers blooming in full bloom, and the wildly growing weeds have been pruned, making it elegant and refined.

Beihe Shenjun was very appreciative, and even said three "good" words: "My little friend's accomplishments in growing flowers are advancing by leaps and bounds!"

Chen Zhi said in embarrassment: "This is taken care of by others."

Beihe Shenjun said with a smile: "It has been several years in the human world, but my child's heart is still the same."

Chen Zhi said respectfully: "Chen Zhi will never forget the teachings of the gods in the past."

Beihe Shenjun waved his hand and said: "Little friend's merits and virtues make him immortal, which is a miracle in heaven and earth. I also admire him. I dare not take the word 'teaching' as a word. My little friend used to meditate in Beihe for a hundred years before he could get out of demonic obstacles. But, demonic barriers are easy to come out." , The heartache is hard to overcome. Ascension to immortality is only the 'body' becoming an immortal, this spiritual cultivation is still the first step in a long journey, my little friend must not back down."

Chen Zhiyilin: "Thank you, God, for your guidance."

Beihe Shenjun said: "Little friend has an exquisite heart. My words today are superfluous. I only have one sentence: Xiaoyou just do your business with peace of mind. The fish that slip through the net under the law of heaven will be taken care of by yourself."

Chen Zhi calmed down a little: "Thank you, Divine Lord."

Beihe Shenjun talked to him about the flowers and plants for a while, and then drove eastward.

As soon as he walked away, Cui Yan arrived on the back, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Why didn't you tell me that the guest is here?"

Chen Zhi was humming a little tune to water the flowers, he paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "He came in a hurry, so he didn't have time."

"What about the guests?"

"left already."

Cui Yan stood at the door with an unhappy expression.

Chen Zhi watered the flowers for a while, finally sensed the gloomy atmosphere, moved slowly to his side, and explained: "He has something to do."

Cui Yan felt a little disappointed in her anger.Chen Zhi has a circle that he can't get into: the past with Yang Zhongju, the past with his master, the past with his friends... He can't participate in these circles, and even now he is so uncertain.

Chen Zhi asked: "Is there any big event in court?"

Cui Yan didn't want to push too hard, so she made a note in her heart, and then turned the page: "Several aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River still refuse to let go. They plan to make the son of the Southwest King their emperor, and they are recruiting soldiers and raising food and salaries."

Chen Zhi said, "The son of the Southwest King?"

"Father is not mature yet, let alone the child." Cui Yan took it lightly, "I have made arrangements for this matter."

Chen Zhi nodded.

Cui Yan talked about other miscellaneous things, and after Chen Zhi finished watering the flowers and weeding, the two of them had lunch together, and in the afternoon, Cui Yan took Chen Zhi to accompany him, and dealt with the memorial in the Yizheng Hall.

Chen Zhi lay crooked on the couch, and fell asleep as soon as he was crooked.

This sleep was extremely deep, and it seemed that something was entangled in the dream, buried in the soil for a while, and sank into the sea for a while, so I couldn't breathe.

"Well, uh... heh!"

The will to struggle out of the nightmare was getting stronger and stronger, he gasped suddenly, sat up startled, and stared ahead.

Cui Yan, who was helping him cover the quilt, was taken aback and looked at him.

"What are you doing?" Chen Zhi took the lead.

Cui Yan quickly regained her composure, and raised the quilt to show her innocence.

Chen Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "Did you secretly kiss me just now?"

Cui Yan said frankly: "I thought about it, but I didn't do it."

Chen Zhi stared at the other's lips, then touched his own, as if he was testing the truth of his words.

Cui Yan couldn't hold back that innocent and cute look, threw the quilt away, pinched his chin and kissed him.

Chen Zhi was kissed for a long time before pushing him away and licking his lips: "It's not like that."

……

Cui Yan ground her teeth and said grimly, "Oh, what does that feel like?"

Chen Zhi rubbed his head: "I'm just being entangled in something, and I'm about to suffocate. Am I being haunted by a nightmare?" However, it doesn't feel like a dream... It's incomprehensible.He lowered his head, not noticing Cui Yan's eyes dodged for a moment.

"Aren't you too tired?" Cui Yan reached out to help him rub his temples.

"Maybe." Chen Zhi looked up at the teacup on the table, "Who came here just now?"

Cui Yan said, "Huh? Uh... no one has been here."

Chen Zhi pointed to the cup on the table.

Cui Yan picked up the cup and handed it to him: "I prepared it specially for you in case you would wake up thirsty."

Chen Zhi took the cup, and there was indeed no trace of drinking on it, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Cui Yan poured another cup, and asked casually, "Is the tonic you mentioned ready?"

Chen Zhi paused when he took the cup, and said a little excitedly, "Why do you ask that? Are you going to take out the demon pill?"

Cui Yan smiled and said, "So happy?"

"Are you unhappy?" Chen Zhisheng asked cautiously because he was afraid that he would be happy for nothing.

Cui Yan said: "If you are happy, I will be happy."

Strike while the iron is hot, Chen Zhi asked: "I can prepare tonic for you at any time, when do you plan to do it?"

Cui Yan said: "Since you are so impatient, how about tonight?"

"Tonight?" Chen Zhi raised his voice slightly.

"What's the problem tonight?"

"No, there's no problem. I've counted the auspicious days of the zodiac, and it's time to take the pill tonight!" Chen Zhisheng was afraid of having a long night and dreaming, so he hurriedly agreed, "I'll go and inform Jiang Yi to make preparations."

Cui Yan held him back: "What are you telling Jiang Yi to do?"

Chen Zhi stared at his stomach, thinking about how to dissect it.

Cui Yan said helplessly: "I can spit out the demon pill by myself."

"!" Chen Zhi asked: "Does it have to be at night? It's also quite auspicious now."

"..."

Cui Yan, who still had a lot of memorials to approve, declined his invitation.

Chen Zhi walked away step by step, turning his head three times. Before he left, he gave him a look of resentment that lingered to the end of the world.Cui Yan said without raising her head, "If you read on, you won't be able to finish approving the memorials by night."

Chen Zhi ran away.

The afternoon sun was mild but not violent, making people feel warm and indescribably comfortable.

Several years of the emperor's life was like a dream, quickly flashing through his mind, from ignorantly eating and waiting to die, to conscientiously helping Cui Yan, this mission was full of ups and downs and dangers, but fortunately, the result was not bad.

However, when he thought of returning to Huang Tianya to hand in the mission after the mission was over, he felt a little complicated.

Half of it is the tension similar to being close to home - after all the hardships, he is finally close to the fruit of victory, but he has some doubts about its authenticity, for fear that it will be another sweet dream; half is the nostalgia that he does not want to admit but has to admit .Perhaps for Chen Yingke, this old cage-like life of the emperor is a depression that cannot be rewarded with ambition, but for Chen Zhi, the acquaintance with Yin Shangong, Cui Yan, Jiang Yi and others is indeed a heart-wrenching relationship. Unforgettable memories.

Now, this memory has come to an end.

He thought about staying and living through Chen Yingke's life as promised to Cui Yan.But Cui Yan's more and more explicit expressions made him have to avoid it.After all, the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty must spread his branches and spread his descendants, and the value of King Chen Liu was wiped out the moment the Chen Dynasty ended.

He sat in a daze for a while, and then hurried out of the palace when it was time to turn on the lamps. He asked Jiang Yi for herbal medicine and boiled a bowl of ordinary tonic. back to the palace.

Cui Yan had already been waiting in Qianqing Palace, and when he came back, the food had been reheated twice.

"This is the tonic you prepared?" Cui Yan looked curiously at Chen Zhi's light-footed appearance.

Chen Zhi said, "It's a great tonic!"

Cui Yan said: "How did I hear that you asked Jiang Yi for angelica and wolfberry..."

"These are auxiliary medicines, the key is the main medicine!" Chen Zhi put it on the table like a treasure, "It's hard to find in the world!"

Cui Yan held it over, lowered her head and sniffed it, Chen Zhi nervously stopped him: "You can't drink it now, you must take out the demon pill before you can drink it."

Cui Yan felt the medicine bowl was still warm, and said: "Then take it out first, the medicine will cool down in a while."

Seeing the victory in sight, Chen Zhi was a little uncertain: "It doesn't matter if it's cold, how about eating first?"

Cui Yan touched his hand: "Why are you nervous?"

Chen Zhi said: "I always feel that I have to do something big, and I can't help being a little nervous."

Cui Yan smiled and said: "Looking at you like this, even if you eat, you still don't know how to taste it. It's better to get things done and let's eat slowly."

Chen Zhi thought about it too, stretching his head and shrinking his head was a knife, procrastination is like a chronic poison, let alone being quick-hearted, so he nodded in agreement.

Cui Yan smiled at him, then lowered her head and spat out a red demon pill.

His movements are crisp and clear, without delay, making people defenseless.Only when he fell down with a pale face did Chen Zhi react, he grabbed him and passed the medicine: "The taste of the medicine is a bit strange, don't worry about it, just drink it."

Cui Yan licked her lips, and said weakly: "I believe you." Opening her mouth slightly, she took Chen Zhi's hand and swallowed the tonic in one gulp.

Knowing that his own flesh and blood will take effect very quickly, Chen Zhi said comfortingly, "It will be fine soon."

Cui Yan was smiling, but suddenly her expression changed, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at him in shock: "You..."

Chen Zhi was startled: "Me? What's wrong with you?"

Cui Yan still wanted to speak, but blood spurted out of her mouth, and her body twitched in pain.

Chen Zhi could hardly hold him, and shouted in horror: "What's wrong with you?"

Cui Yan's hand holding his arm gradually lost strength, and in Taohua's eyes, emotions such as anger, doubt, shock, and annoyance flashed through quickly, and finally turned into unwilling despair, staring at him firmly.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Zhi felt for his pulse tremblingly, and found that he was... dead.

dead... dead? !

Chen Zhi's head buzzed, as if hit by a heavy hammer, his eyes were blackened, his hands were still holding Cui Yan tightly, and his body fell down involuntarily.

The black armored soldier outside heard the movement and ran in: "Your Majesty?"

Chen Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted: "Call the imperial doctor! Call the doctor!"

The black armored soldier didn't know why, so he hurriedly turned around and called for someone.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A black shadow rushed into the hall quickly, slapped Chen Zhi away, and reached out to snatch Cui Yan's body.Chen Zhi rushed over like crazy, and while bumping away from that person, he hugged Cui Yan tightly in his arms, as if he would fight desperately with anyone who touched him!

The man paused for a moment, suddenly grabbed a handful in the air, turned around and jumped into the darkness.

"Single Unforgiveness!"

Chen Zhi roared, not knowing whether to vent or get angry.

The black armored soldiers finally moved amidst his roar, shouting to catch the assassin.

A series of accidents finally made Chen Zhi's mind a little clearer.He picked up Cui Yan, no matter how shocking the world was, he went straight to Jiang Yi's residence.

Jiang Yi, who was drinking a little wine and eating chicken feet, was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhi handed Cui Yan to him: "Look what's wrong with him?"

Jiang Yi felt the pulse on his wrist, and it took him a long time before he said, "Huh? Why can't I find the pulse."

Chen Zhi said in a deep voice, "Is he dead?"

Jiang Yi: "?!"

The two looked at each other for a long time before Jiang Yi jumped up screaming: "Did you die?"

Chen Zhi said, "Is there anything you can do..."

"No, no, no! I won't destroy corpses and wipe out traces! Please be smart!" Jiang Yi was so frightened that his scalp would fly off.

Chen Zhi said, "No, I'm asking you, is there any way to save him?"

Jiang Yi said in a trembling voice: "If I, I, I, I could bring people back to life, I would have been a god! Your Majesty, how did he die?"

Chen Zhi briefly explained the process.

Jiang Yi asked: "You, you, what did you drink to His Majesty?"

Chen Zhi was also very puzzled: "It's just a tonic. The medicinal materials are still taken from you."

Jiang Yi waved his hands wildly: "Nonsense, nonsense! What does it have to do with me! It's all the medicine you boiled yourself."

Chen Zhi patted his cheek to calm himself down, thought for a while and said, "Could it be Shan Buxie who did it? It's such a coincidence that he appeared."

Jiang Yi nodded desperately, as long as he doesn't let him take the blame, anyone can take the blame.

Chen Zhi asked again: "Could it be that there was a mistake in the process of obtaining the demon pill?"

Jiang Yi said: "It's also possible. Speaking of which, I want to think of one thing, which is related to the demon pill. In fact, what His Majesty asked me to find was not a tonic, but another demon pill."

"what?"

Jiang Yi clenched his hands into fists, forced himself to calm down, and said slowly, "What Cui Yan asked me to find was not tonic, but another demon pill. But, but I didn't find it."

Find another... demon pill?

Lightning flashed and thundered in Chen Zhi's head, and all the details slowly emerged, connecting them into a possibility——

Cui Yan didn't spit out the demon pill at all!

His blood is a great tonic for mortals, but it is a deadly poison for the half-human, half-demon who has fused with the demon pill!

Now it's explained.

Chen Zhi carried Cui Yan's body to the sky, and went straight to Xianjin Pond, but he didn't see anything when he got there, but there was a surge in the pool, and Han Long showed his head, looking at him with burning eyes.

Chen Zhi nodded in greeting, turned to leave, but saw Han Qing sticking out his head, blocking his way.

"...Is there something wrong?" He asked impatiently.

Han Qing's lips did not move, but a clear and pleasant voice came from Chen Zhi's head: "What are you doing here?"

"I can't find any."

The voice continued to ask, "What are you looking for?"

Chen Zhi didn't intend to explain, just casually said: "Long time no see, come and see him."

Han Qing stared at him for a long time before retracting her head back into the pool.

Chen Zhi didn't bother to guess his intentions, so he rushed to Huang Tianya again, only to see Xiantong arguing with a group of gods.Fairy Tong, who has always been honest and honest, was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the group of gods and said, "You are the first to set things up. You come to Huangtian Ya to find faults later. You are so defiant!"

The group of gods retorted at one go, with fierce words, and seeing that a disagreement was about to start a war, Chen Zhi rushed up with the invisibility talisman, dragged the fairy boy and ran away.

After throwing away the group of gods for a long distance, Chen Zhicai took off the invisibility talisman: "You said that they didn't frame them first, what do you mean?"

Xiantong said sadly, "No one is missing."

……

House seemingly endless rain.

Chen Zhi's chest was so tight that he didn't want to say anything.

Fairchild simply told the ins and outs.

Still because of Han Qing.Jie Wu who got into trouble can still stay by Han Qing's side, jealous of all Han Qing's admirers, they join forces to play a prank, instigate Han Qing to give Jian Wu a box with a spell cast on it, as long as Ji Wu says he likes Han Qing Qing, it will turn into its original form and be sucked into the black.

Unexpectedly, after Jianwu was sucked into the box, the box disappeared.
