Chapter 111 Negotiation and Compromise

After entering the emperor's mausoleum, everyone felt a chill on their bodies, and they didn't know whether it was because the temperature had changed too much, or there was invisible yin energy surrounding them.

The light in the mausoleum is dim, and the ground is full of large and small pits dug by the archaeological team. The road for people to walk is more and more tortuous. Fortunately, Hong Yao has lived here for thousands of years, no matter how it changes, it will not be mistaken. He could lead a few people to turn left and right in the dark with his eyes closed.

The imperial mausoleum is huge and quiet, with no direction at all in the darkness, like a huge maze formation. I don't know where it will turn next, but as we walk, Fang Chong feels a little familiar for no reason, as if he was in a long time ago. Once, I also groped my way through this dark tomb passage.

...There are torches floating like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, a brilliant figure is reflected on the tomb wall, choking blood is filled under the tip of the nose, and a weightless weight lies on the back...

"I've been here before." Fang Chong's voice was firm, circling and echoing in the silent tomb passage, shaking the thousand-year-old dust from the top of the tomb.

Everyone knows that the "I" that Fang Chong said at this time refers to Shangguan Chong in the previous life, but this makes it even more intriguing.

Hong Yao slowed down, staring at the darkness ahead, and asked casually, "What are you doing here? Digging Shi Jin's grave to collect his ashes?"

Fang Chong only had a few fuzzy pictures flashing back and forth in his head, and he didn't know the cause and effect, but he still said intuitively: "It shouldn't be, Shi Jin was not dead when I came here... I seem to be, what are you here to bury?" people?"

Hong Yao tightly clenched Pei Ci's hand, and cautiously stopped at the entrance of the master's tomb. Her voice was clear, but the meaning in her words was profound: "The dove occupies the magpie's nest? You are capable."

Fang Chong scratched his head, and was about to say a few words of modesty, when a strange male voice suddenly sounded in the darkness in front of him: "Since we have reached the door, why stop?"

Although when I came here, I was mentally prepared that there would be... ghosts in the imperial mausoleum, but it was still very scary to hear a strange voice suddenly when my eyes were darkened. It was not a fear of ghosts, but a sudden Frightened, mixed with a faint sense of relief of "finally here", after this fright, Fang Chong's mentality was even a little more relaxed than when they first entered the imperial mausoleum.

After all, the greatest fear of human beings comes from the unknown.

Hong Yao gently squeezed Pei Ci's fingertips soothingly in her hand, but her mouth seemed to be covered with ice and snow, and the chill was pressing: "You have to dress properly so that you can see your old friend again."

"To be so valued by General Wu'an, my old friend is really overjoyed."

The man's voice was distorted, as if separated by an invisible barrier.An indistinguishable Yin Qi hovered slowly in the air, and then silently brushed the ends of Hong Yao's hair.

Talking about correcting his clothes, Hong Yao really straightened his clothes. The slight friction sound of the cloth was amplified several times in the dark and dull tomb, and the two sides fell into silence again.

Then a little light came on, and the candle flickered and struggled to barely illuminate a square inch of land. Under the warm candlelight, Sui Qi's face was still as cold as ice, and he was whizzing. gone?"

Fang Chong and the others, who were hiding behind Hong Yao and seeking asylum, couldn't take it anymore. They just wanted to speak up to build up momentum for Hong Yao, but Hong Yao admitted it frankly.

"Yes, I do have concerns." Hong Yao showed a helpless smile, "After all, I still have loved ones, relatives and friends behind me, and I can't compare to General Sui who is alone and fearless."

'Hiss—'This trick shows the enemy to take advantage of the weak and retreat to advance, which is so wonderful!Sui Qi's face was almost as pale as the candle in his hand.

Sui Qi put a wrist-thick white candle on the stone platform, the candle flame flickered and the light in the room flickered on and off.

"Since I have entered my place, it is better for General Wu An not to try to provoke me. Otherwise, I, a person who is alone and fearless, will do something irreversible... It is hard to say."

Hong Yao took Pei Ci's hand and stepped into the room with a calm voice: "You won't."

The invisible barrier gently slid across the body, the darkness slowly receded, and the pearly light was gorgeous and warm and fragrant. They seemed to have entered a magnificent soap bubble full of beautiful illusions.

Looking at the carved furniture, jade bead curtains, silk gauze, and soft blankets that should never be here, Hong Yao couldn't help sighing: "No wonder Shi Jin hid with you in the imperial mausoleum, the way the royal family behaves is really extraordinary. "

Sui Qi stood in the middle of the tomb, ignoring Hong Yao's exclamation, and only asked him the last sentence sullenly: "Why do you think I can't?"

Fang Chong and others have always listened to the words of the "big patriarch" Hong Yao, especially in this kind of dangerous situation. Jiawen and Li Wu took advantage of their racial advantages and started to float away, perfectly realizing zero contact with the emperor's tomb.

Hong Yao turned her head and glanced at the string of 'little chickens' behind her, and saw that one of them followed in without being left behind, so she replied in satisfaction, "You don't have the will to fight."

"Besides, the reason for tossing the crew at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum was to lure us in and have a good talk?"

"Speak well? Hahahahaha!" Sui Qi laughed suddenly, as if hearing some big joke, "I didn't expect that we would have a good talk day!"

The smile on Hong Yao's face remained unchanged, and she said the cruel words in a flat tone: "Yes, who let Shi Jin fall into my hands?"

Sui Qi's laughter stopped abruptly, and the majestic tomb fell into piercing silence again.

Hong Yao didn't seem to feel the tension and weirdness of the atmosphere. After saying that, he stopped staring at Sui Qi, instead, he pointed to the place where the low stool on the coffee table was with great interest and said, "Ah Ci, look, I was buried there in the first place! Is the location okay?"

Pei Ci followed the red medicine's instructions and nodded in agreement: "I've seen the archaeological records of the Jingmo Emperor's Mausoleum taken by archaeologists. The location of the red medicine seems to be at the front of the pottery figurine formation?"

Hong Yao said in a tone of recalling the past: "Yes, and I am still alone, very different, even if it is moved into a museum, it is worth displaying in a separate booth!"

Pei Ci nodded: "It's their loss that they didn't see it."

Everyone: "..." Hey!Don't suddenly start chatting in front of the enemy!His face is green!Also, is it something to be proud of almost getting into a museum stand?Why do you sound so sorry!

Fang Chong, Li Wu, Shi Jiawen saw Sui Qi's face getting greener and greener, and he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak out rashly, for fear of breaking the layout of Boss Red... If there is _(:з」)_

However, Sui Qi did not draw his sword and fight the red medicine for [-] rounds in anger, as Fang Chong and the others imagined. Instead, he spoke first as if in compromise: "How do you know? You should have no memory of your previous life now." Bar?"

Fang Chong Li Wu Shi Jiawen: "???" Know what?What happened that they didn't know about?Will the top-ranked melon eaters in the front row also miss the plot? !

Sui Qi took the initiative to speak, and Hong Yao went down the steps, as if he had never said any threatening words: "It's easy to guess, with your responsive attitude to Shi Jin, as long as he says he wants to trouble me , even if there is no chance of winning, you will rack your brains, plan with all your strength, and try desperately, but he came to the door with the seal of the city god to carry out a suicide attack, which means that you did not promise him, or that you have no way to satisfy him arbitrary demands."

"Combined with the talismans that you used a lot when you fought against me, and the Shijia Village, which is like a Gu breeding ground, you can't get in and out... As long as these clues are put together, it is not difficult to guess that you are not alone for thousands of years. Actions, there should be some accomplices hiding in the dark." Hong Yao looked at Sui Qi steadfastly, and said word by word, "Perhaps it shouldn't be the accomplices, the one hiding in the dark is the real planner, right? You are just an enforcer."

Sui Qi was noncommittal, but said: "The talisman is indeed a big flaw that I accidentally exposed. After all, I have never won a head-to-head confrontation with you. It is really difficult to get out without resorting to external forces. But why is Shijiacun? I remember that it has been cleaned up. It's very clean, even if a few remnants are missing, they won't be able to tell any useful information, right?"

Hong Yao: "It's because the cleaning is too clean. Besides, you should have spent most of the time in the underworld for thousands of years, right?"

"No matter how good your time management is, I'm afraid you can't take care of both the work of the underworld and the management of Shijia Village in the human world. After all, ghost officials should be the busiest job in the world, especially the ghost officials of the Shangjing Yin Division."

Li·Wu, a ghost official in the daily 007 working system of Shangjing City God's Yin Division, nodded his head and expressed his agreement wholeheartedly.

"So, when you are not in the world, there must be someone else in Shijia Village."

"So that's how it is..." Sui Qi had a clear expression, and finally admitted, "There is indeed one more person."

Hong Yao asked: "What about others?"

Sui Qi shook his head and remained silent.

Hong Yao turned to Li Wu and asked, "Does the tracking talisman still respond?"

Suddenly being cueed, Li Wu was in a hurry: "Boss Hong, the line is broken!"

"Tsk, you run pretty fast." Hong Yao's tone was a bit regretful, but she already had a premonition in her heart.

Sui Qi: "Actually, he didn't know that you would come today. He left the imperial mausoleum to do another more important thing."

"Let me guess..." Hong Yao said casually, "To deal with me?"

Sui Qi hooked the corner of his mouth: "General Wu'an is wise."

"Thank you. But I don't think you'll go into details of what he's going to do. For the sake of our friendly conversation, let's stop here. Now, let me guess why you're here to wait. Us." Hong Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked Sui Qi up and down slowly, and then said, "I guess...it's for Shi Jin."

"You guys have a disagreement on the issue of how to treat Shi Jin. This disagreement should not be small. And you are at a disadvantage in the disagreement."

Hong Yao looked deeply at Sui Qi, and secretly pressed between the lines: "This is the reason why Shi Jin brought Chenghuang Yinlaiwei Lane Incense Candle Shop to throw himself into the trap, and it is also the reason why you are waiting in the imperial mausoleum today."

"Shi Jin was given up." Hong Yao spoke loudly.

"I will not give up on your lord, never will." Sui Qiyi retorted loudly.

Hong Yao smiled: "But your companion doesn't seem to think so."

"Shi Jin has been in my hands for some time, right? But you haven't made a move once, which shows that in your relationship, you are in an absolute and subordinate position... This makes me a little curious. Today's Shi Jin, what is your majesty's position among you?"

Sui Qi and the smiling Hong Yao looked at each other in silence for a while, then closed their eyes forcefully, and said in a deep voice, "I can go with you."

"Oh?" Hong Yao was shocked by Sui Qi's sudden words. Although he had guessed before that Sui Qi would negotiate with him for Shi Jin, he never expected that he would give up his life and compromise to such an extent, "You are... ..."

Sui Qi opened his eyes, his voice was firm: "I only have one request—whether it is imprisonment or trial, I must be with you."

"..." Hong Yao looked at the rock-solid seriousness in Sui Qi's cold eyes, and couldn't help but said, "I've been wanting to ask for a long time. Among the disciples of Shangjing, you are both talented and beautiful, which is rare. If you want ability and ability, if you want a family background, you can say what you want... Why did you hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck? Shi Jin, what virtue can he do?"

Sui Qi was silent for a long time before he said: "You are not the same."

Hong Yao didn't respond: "What?"

Sui Qi looked at Hong Yao and Pei Ci's tightly holding hands, and calmly said, "You treat Yin Ci the same way."

Hong Yao subconsciously said: "So you and Shi Jin are also... lovers?"

Sui Qi's calm expression slowly cracked: "What lover?!"

Hong Yao shook the hand she held tightly with Pei Ci, her face was taken for granted: "Didn't you say we are the same?"

Sui Qi looked at the red medicine Pei Ci in shock, opened and closed his mouth, and managed to hold back a few words after a while: "We... are different!"
