i don't want to be emperor

What a fun guy.

Behind Su Ye, the corners of Qin Yi's lips curved slightly, bringing out his most genuine smile since he came to this world.He didn't know if the method that the man said was effective, or if it was effective in this world, but the attitude of this man was enough to be interesting.

So, do you want to get acquainted?

With the thought in his mind, Qin Yi made a decision. When Su Ye couldn't react, he walked straight towards the two people on the wooden bridge.

Under Su Ye's dumbfounded gaze, Qin Yi strolled to the side of the bridge, reached out and greeted the two people on the bridge: "Good evening, both of you."

The two people on the bridge were stunned for a moment, but it was the woman who reacted first.She yelled suddenly, covered her face, turned her head and ran away in a panic.

"Eh? Am I so scary?" Qin Yi scratched his cheek, looking puzzled.

"That girl just doesn't want people to see her like this. You don't have to mind." The young man turned his head and said to Qin Yi with a smile on his face. For some reason, there was a hint of respect in his tone.

It wasn't until the young man turned his head that his appearance finally became clear under the moonlight.

After seeing the young man's face clearly, Qin Yi's originally relaxed mood disappeared in an instant.

He remembered this face.

That was a long time ago. At that time, he had just broken the bottom line of values ​​and morals he had cultivated in his life, and he had not yet established a firm enough belief. It can be said that he was the most vulnerable time.

Under the persecution of the system, he had to become the emperor, but he could not get any help. The situation of internal and external troubles made him unable to trust anyone, including the one who protected him from childhood and pushed him to the top. A young man who is like a brother.

So, to reassure him, the young man led the army to guard the frontier, and then never came back.

Qin Yi shook his head slightly, brushed away the scene in his mind, and looked at the young man in front of him with flickering eyes.Now that I think about it, I can't say how much I regret it, but it's more or less regrettable.

It seems that because of Qin Yi's long silence, the young man moved uncomfortably under his stare, and couldn't help asking: "Do you have any questions about me?"

Qin Yi suppressed the memories of the past that came to his mind, after all, it happened a long time ago. Looking back now, he can only vaguely remember the appearance of that young man, and if it is more specific, there is nothing left.

He smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you before, have I?"

The young man nodded: "For you, this is indeed the first time we have met." As for the previous meeting, what a meeting so far away.

"Then why do you seem to respect me?" Qin Yi was really puzzled. After all, even the two guards who knew his identity didn't talk to you when they were alone with him. yes.

The young man laughed, and there was a little nostalgia in his smile, but he didn't mean to explain, but instead asked, "Did this trouble you?"

"Not really." Qin Yi shook his head, "It's better to say that I'm quite happy to hear it. Compared with this, I'm more curious about another thing. Who are you? Or, what are you? What?"

Faced with this question that would shock ordinary ghosts, the young man was quite calm, and the smile on his face didn't even fade away: "What a bold boy. Did you guess it yourself, or did you guess it by yourself?" What did that little Taoist tell you?"

In other words, did this guy dare to appear in front of them in the daytime and talk nonsense to them when he knew that the little Taoist priest was genuine?Should it be said that he is really brave, or is he confident?

"Is it important whether someone told me or I guessed it myself?" Qin Yi asked rhetorically.

The young man laughed: "Indeed, this is not important. Since that's the case, let me answer your previous question."

"I'm a water ghost."

When the young man said these words, Su Ye, who had been observing the situation behind the tree, shrank his pupils, and appeared between Qin Yi and the young man almost instantly, not caring about calming down the turbulent qi in his body, He took out the talisman paper folded into a triangle at his waist, held it between his fingertips, and began to recite the formula in his mouth.

"Calm down." Qin Yi looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him. Although he didn't quite understand why he was so agitated all of a sudden, he still pressed his shoulder and comforted him, "He didn't mean anything malicious."

The young man who was treated like an enemy by the little Taoist priest was very calm, he didn't even put on a defensive posture, and he smiled and echoed Qin Yi's words: "Yes, I don't want to attack you .”

No wonder Su Ye was so excited. After all, the existence of water ghosts should not be underestimated by any ascetic. I know how many years the powerful water ghost has lived.

Not any existence that died in the water and condensed a soul body can be called a water ghost.In each river basin, there will only be one water ghost.And once water ghosts appear in a certain river basin, the creatures who live in this river basin will be swallowed by this river basin after death, turning into the power of water ghosts.

Therefore, the longer the water ghost survives, the stronger its power will be, and the clearer its reason will be.

The conditions for the birth of water ghosts are very harsh, and newborn water ghosts are usually irrational existences, and they will make big noises under the control of instinct, attracting nearby ascetics to wipe them out, so they are very rare.

With Su Ye's current cultivation, to be honest, he couldn't deal with a water ghost of this level.But whether you can deal with it is one thing, and whether you can do it is another.

"Water ghost, what's your purpose?!" The little Taoist priest still looked tense, and asked the young man sharply.It was the first time Qin Yi had seen him speak in this manner after traveling with him for so long.

"So, a fledgling kid like you is the most troublesome." The young man sighed helplessly, "Generally speaking, when I meet a water ghost like me, I don't plan to take action against you, so you should be thankful for yourself Good luck, let's go now."

"Water ghost?" Listening to the conversation between the two, Qin Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "If it's a water ghost, I remember that it can become stronger by devouring the souls of people who drowned in the water, right? Why did you persuade the girl who was going to drown herself just now?"

"I don't need to become stronger through that method." The young man said with a smile, with a little pride in his tone, "The human soul is too dirty, I don't want my soul to be polluted by this kind of thing."

If his master was here, then he should have ridiculed him at this time, such as "the mere water ghost really dare to say it" or something like that, but Su Ye is here now, so he just stood there, still Silently maintained a guarded posture.

"If you really haven't devoured human souls, you should be reincarnated." Qin Yi continued, "Why are you still here? Could it be that you want to be a water ghost more than a human being?" ?"

"How is it possible?" The young man showed a wry smile when he asked, "Being a water ghost is not a good experience, but I have my reasons for staying here. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I also Not going to tell you."

"Okay, I've pretty much said what I need to say, you guys go back too." The young man turned around slowly, pretending to be leaving, and at the same time left a sentence that seemed to be joking, "Children If you don’t sleep at night, you won’t grow taller.”

He always had some special treatment for children. If it was an adult Taoist priest who came this time, he would be in a good mood to let them go. How could he answer their questions so patiently.

What's more, there is a child with such a special identity inside.

Speaking of which, the person he was loyal to when he was alive also took on that heavy burden when he was a child, and he worked so hard every day that it made people feel distressed. How could he bear to let that person be so embarrassing for his affairs.

What he didn't expect was that after his death, he would wake up again because of his obsession with that person, and he would be trapped in this place, unable to leave.

He never hated that person. He watched that person grow up, watched him grow from a young boy to a qualified emperor, and understood the difficulties and setbacks he faced. They used to be like brothers, so how could he Might hate him.

His only obsession now is probably the only thought he had before he died, the hope that he could see that person again, it was too extravagant.

It's a pity that after he woke up again, that person had already died, and even his country had fallen apart.The sea has changed, things have changed, and he is no longer the same as before.

However, when he sees such a young emperor now, there will still be some memories churning in his mind, reminding him of those days when he was still a human being.This feeling is not too bad.

"Wait, you haven't told me yet, what's your name?" The voice of the young emperor came from behind, making him stop.

He recalled it for a moment, and said the name he used before his death: "My name is Xu Wenqing."

"My minister, Xu Wenqing, please guard Lishui and never allow the northern barbarians to cross the border. I hope for your majesty's permission."

"...I, yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Yi looked at the young man's receding figure, and whispered, "It turns out that this is Lishui."

It turned out to be really you.
