Yan ghost

"A big gift was sent from the border yesterday."

"Li? Uh-"

"I was also surprised at the time. Fortunately, there was no time court."

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Huai is also at the border..."

"I heard that you burned the Kui Fang Palace."

"It's just a corner..."

"It's hard to tell when the fire is burning."

"Your Majesty... are they beheading the soldiers of the three border cities to declare war on Chilan?"

"Kai Fang sent people to force me to hand over you and the people you brought back."

"The palace was burned by the minister, so I should go to Kui Fang to accept the crime."

"But I don't want to."

"It's the minister who is ashamed of the king... If it wasn't for the impulsiveness at the beginning, it would not have provoked the dispute between the two countries."

"I don't want to hear your apology."

"Tiger Talisman?"

"Leading mechas to fight for me, can Yan Qing be sure?"

"Xiang Yan will swear to die for the country."

……

"Yan Qing's move is very clever. With Wei Yang's battle spirit blessing my Chilan Mecha, let's see how long Kai Fang can continue to be arrogant this time."

"The morale of Wei Yang's battle soul is indeed once in a hundred years. It's just that I am also worried that the heart of revenge will be difficult to grasp."

"Even if you have a deep friendship with King Wei?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Kai Fang is good at ghost skills. From the Shangyuan Festival riots to the out-of-control border mechs, how much chance do you have for attacking with mechas alone?"

"..."

"Yan Qing, you are extremely intelligent and cautious in your words and deeds. I like it very much. To be able to fight in the army, you must have the courage to go through the fire."

"What your majesty said is very true."

Xiang Yan looked up at the military tent above his head and smiled compassionately.When he heard Yun Yu's words again these days, the esteem and encouragement he used to have had ulterior motives.

Suddenly, the person next to the pillow jumped and woke up from the dream.Xiang Yan asked, "Has Your Highness had a nightmare?"

Shi Ting held on to his hand and said: "I saw us in the sky again. Half of it is an illusion, and the other half is the night sky. You pulled me over, but I was stopped. I saw you crying, but I was helpless."

"Why are you still thinking about that dream?" Xiang Yan smiled.

"I always feel that it's not a dream. Did you say we went to the Moon Palace last time?"

"That's right. You even knocked the Jade Rabbit into the air with the Peng Bird, and Sister Chang'e knocked you out when she got annoyed."

"boring."

Xiang Yan persuaded in a good voice: "I have said it several times, it was a dream. You think I was so late when I arrived at the border that night, and you drove the Pengniao for a long time. Didn't I see that you fell asleep when you were tired, so I just went to sleep." Stop Pengniao, didn't I wake you up. Besides, I won't be heartbroken, I will definitely find a way to take you away."

"But what if there is really no other way?" Shi Ting still remembered the feeling at that time.

Xiang Yanman casually said: "If I really pull you one day, if you can't leave, I won't leave." Shi Ting didn't believe it, so he approached and asked: "You will treat me so well?"

Xiang Yan's words were serious, but he felt that the atmosphere was not good at the moment, so he didn't dare to answer him, so he found an excuse, got out of bed and said, "What's going on outside, it's been rustling for a while."

Shi Ting stopped him and said: "Hey, don't look at it. Those little soldiers must be making fun of you and me." He said and blew out the candle.As soon as the fire was extinguished, there was a burst of laughter from outside, and then they all dispersed.

Xiang Yan asked in a low voice: "What joke?" Shi Ting whispered a few words.

"It's too much." Xiang Yan looked timid, covered his head with the quilt, and turned away.

Shi Ting said: "Why are you angry, I'm not angry yet. There are quite a few frontier soldiers in the army, who doesn't recognize me."

"But we are clearly discussing strategies."

"Only you know. What they saw was me being a pawn in the general's chariot every day, and staying in the general's tent every night..." Shi Ting put his hand on Xiang Yan's waist to tease, and Xiang Yan was shocked.

"Sleep and sleep, wake people up in the middle of the night, sleepy to death."

Shi Ting laughed, some did not say a few words, seeing that Xiang Yan ignored him, he fell asleep again.

Xiang Yan drilled his head, and quietly pasted a talisman on Shi Ting.He pushed Shi Ting, but seeing no response, he got up and turned over the tools.He lit the lamp again, turned the lamp to extremely dim, bent down, and untied Shi Ting's clothes.

There were figures of soldiers passing by outside the tent.He speculated that the shadows in the tent would also show through like this at this time, no wonder there would be such rumors in the army.With a helpless sigh, he opened the chest of the person in front of him and cleaned out the wine bag and rice bag.

On this expedition, he specifically asked Shi Ting to accompany him on the grounds of a staff officer, just to facilitate care and avoid exposure of the puppet's identity.Since Shi Ting recovered from his injury, he couldn't let this person faint in a daze, so he had to invite him to sleep together, and then dismantle the doll while the other person was asleep.

After everything was tidied up, Xiang Yan blew on the light again and lay back on the bed.He stared at Shi Ting's sleeping face, and said silently:

Let's try again when I die.

The camp was full of wounded soldiers.In the distance, I slowly walked back to a few scattered mechs, as if I had lost a battle.

A wounded soldier lay on the ground and said: "The general really wants us to die. To fight against the soul armor army, even if I wear ten layers of armor, it will be like fighting me."

The bandaged soldier on the side said: "Don't complain. This time the troops are divided into two groups. The king of Wei led the mechs to divert the rebels away, just to cover our sneaking in at night. Who made you stupid and keep going to the rebels? rushed."

The wounded soldier said: "You brat, you're talking like I don't know. Even the rebels know about it! Now that we only have [-]% of the mechas in King Wei's hands, it is impossible to confront them head-on. The general wants to sign again, but can the rebels not be on guard? I think they will wait for us to fall into the trap this time."

"It's true..." the bandage said with emotion, "I think back last month when the army captured Kui Fang like a broken bamboo all the way, I thought that I would be able to return to Beijing to receive a reward for my meritorious deeds. How did I end up in such a situation in a blink of an eye?"

"It's all to blame for that traitor, Feng Zhu."

"Shut up! Let the general hear you, be careful, you will get a stick."

"A general like me will continue to fight. If we continue to fight, there will not be many people left to fight with him—His Royal Highness King Huai!"

Shi Ting asked, "Where's your general?"

The wounded soldier replied: "It seems that I was in his tent just now."

Shi Ting turned and left.Seeing Shi Ting go far away, the bandage asked doubtfully, "Didn't your Highness be carried back with serious injuries? Why is it windy when you walk this time?"

Shi Ting stepped into the tent, glanced at the battle situation on the sand table, and walked to the bed.

There was one person lying on the bed, wrapped in bloody cloth.Shi Ting squatted down and blew by the bed, the sawdust flew away.The man had a talisman affixed to him, and he was a puppet.

Shi Ting attached his soul to the puppet, opened his eyes suddenly, and jumped out of the puppet again.He took off the spell with a flick of his sleeves, and the puppet really woke up.

"You?" The puppet looked at Shi Ting in amazement.

At this time, a soldier outside the tent reported: "King Wei, I saw the general over there."

When the puppet heard it, it immediately got up.Shi Ting hurriedly waved his sleeves and stuck the spell back, and the puppet closed its eyes again and fell down, fainting.

When Shi Ting stepped out of the tent, he saw Lin Jiang rushing towards a certain place, and hurriedly followed behind.I saw Lin Jiang coming in front of the dragonfly, and Xiang Yan was also there.

Xiang Yan withdrew his armor, and there were bandaged wounds everywhere under his clothes.He was unchaining the dragonfly, and a psychic butterfly fell on his shoulder.

"But the emperor has another order?" Lin Jiang was very upset.

Xiang Yan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, let me go back."

"The general's orders abroad are not acceptable." Lin Jiang coiled up the chain and twisted it on his wrist.

Xiang Yan couldn't untie the chain, so he could only explain: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that we have a huge disparity in strength with the Soul Armor Army. If we are chasing after them, it is better to go back to Beijing first, and then build the mechas."

"Today's capital city is more dangerous than here, and the common people are full of rumors that killing you can destroy the soul armor army. You have to go back!"

"I know, but your majesty is afraid that I will never return." Xiang Yan was also helpless.

Lin Jiang grabbed Xiang Yan's arm and said, "So what if we don't come back? If we go back, we will inevitably face each other in the future. You might as well follow me, wait for me to ascend the throne, and stay by my side. I can bring your brother over— —”

"Xiao Yu is dead..."

"what?"

"The capital city was in turmoil last night, and Xiang's house was set on fire." Xiang Yan's voice trembled.

"Sorry……"

"I don't blame you."

Lin Jiang was silent for a while, then said softly: "You are the best Yanshi in Chilan, you can give him the best puppet, everything will be the same as before."

Xiang Yan smiled back and said, "I'll go and bring his soul back, I'll just ask you here."

"Safe travels."

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's advice, Xiang Yan suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, thought for a while and said, "I'm not here during this time, don't get hurt easily."

"I know." Lin Jiang took it for granted.

"Wait for me to come back." Xiang Yan was very special today.

Lin Jiang loosened the chain on his hand and helped Xiang Yanquan untie it.Xiang Yan got on the dragonfly and waved for Lin Jiang to leave first.Lin Jiang walked away without knowing why.

Xiang Yan looked at Lin Jiang's back, and said silently in his heart: "From now on, it will be more than ten years since we see each other again."

He activated the dragonfly and coasted for a while.Suddenly Shi Ting opened his hand to stop him.He immediately stopped, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, why did you come out, you are still injured." But he wondered in his heart, why did he get up by himself after clearly pasting a charm and asking his followers to uncover it after four hours.

"Don't go back to Beijing."

"What's the matter, it's as if I won't come back after I go." Xiang Yan smiled dryly.

"You will die if you go back." Shi Ting was extremely firm.

"But Your Highness, Xiao Yu is gone."

"I know……"

"You said that I used to treat him coldly, intentionally or unintentionally, and even hurt him in the end. Does he hate my brother to death?"

Xiang Yan put his hand on the engine and turned it off.Shi Ting stepped forward to grab Xiang Yan's wrist to stop it, but he didn't exert any force, and he didn't hold it tightly.

"Xiang Yu is dead, you can't have any more accidents!" Shi Ting was terrified.

"Your Highness is so strange." Xiang Yan said with a smile, "Obviously he loved him so much in the past, but for his sake, he still found revenge on me, but now that he's gone, why is he stopping me?" Shi Ting was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xiang Yan said again: "He just died, so he must be very helpless. I have to accompany him. What's more... I must go back this time." After speaking, he suddenly activated the mechanism and flew into the air.

In a daze, Xiang Yan saw Shi Ting's hand passing through his wrist.He looked back hastily, but the figure was gone.

At night, the dragonfly arrived at Xiangfu.The bottom was scorched black, miserable.

Xiang Yan stopped the dragonfly and looked around the house for Xiang Yu.But after searching through the wreckage of the wooden armor, there was no sign of Xiang Yu.He walked into the fireproof warehouse, but he didn't see a single surviving wooden armor.He thought regretfully, if anyone knows how to hide here, maybe he can escape from this disaster.

There was an uproar outside.Xiang Yan walked out, and saw a group of people lighting up lamps and tremblingly looking around the dragonfly.

As soon as they saw Xiang Yan walking out of the house, they lit up their kitchen knives and axes and chased after him.Xiang Yan decisively fled to the back door.As soon as he went out, he was dragged into a speeding carriage.

"let me go!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Don't worry, my lord, we are sent by the emperor." The speaker put on a half smile, and was dressed as a court servant.It was the same person who came to the rescue that year.

Seeing that things are progressing as scheduled, Xiang Yan is both relieved and uneasy.

He was sitting in the carriage, and the guard opposite him was silent, like a decoration, very boring.After the carriage drove for a while, he felt an itchy chest, and reached out to touch the psychic butterfly.

"Your Highness, where did you go just now?" Xiang Yan whispered.

"You still dare to ask me, how about yourself!" a voice from the psychic butterfly shouted loudly.The corner of the guard's mouth trembled, as if he heard it, but he remained motionless.

Xiang Yan coaxed: "Don't be angry, I'm fine, Your Majesty sent someone to take me into the palace."

"What does he want to do?"

"What can I do? The capital is in danger. Your Majesty said that he will hide me in the cold palace, and no one will find out."

This time, Shi Ting didn't seem to strongly object, but carefully asked: "Did Xiang Yu find it?"

Xiang Yan sighed: "No... there are only charcoaled wooden armors at home, and no corpses. I don't know where the souls have gone."

"Then what are you still doing in the capital? You come back, I'll look for it." Shi Ting still wanted to persuade him to go back.

"Why does Your Highness always like to grab my brother's work? I'll be back in two days."

"Then you must be careful. Uh-"

The sound of swords came from the other end of the psychic butterfly.Xiang Yan was so anxious that he yelled several times but there was no response.He covered one ear and listened carefully, there was a group of soldiers calling Huai Wang at the other end, it seemed that something happened.
