dim lights

After a few years of absence, Yingyang has long since become a desolate and uninhabited country from a small border country with a thriving population. The roads are almost full of weeds, and there are no more people working in the good farmland of the past.

Everywhere was lifeless, with a suffocating and decaying atmosphere, and the scavenging birds were scattered all over the eaves, and their shrill chirping left the only vitality in the city.

It took less than two days to arrive at the capital from the border. The capital is a little better, and there are still some living people on the road.

The caravan arrived at the posthouse where the goods were delivered, and took a short rest.Yingyang is not a peaceful place, and they will leave immediately after the officials in charge of purchasing in the court have counted the goods.

Shen Tingyun sat by the door of the post house, looking at the majestic palace city not far away, and asked the leader how to get in.

The team leader has been visiting Yingyang all year round, so he should know more than himself.

But the team leader obviously failed to give the answer he wanted to hear, and only said: "Ting Yulou is not involved in state affairs, we have no time to hide in that kind of place, how can we get in." Not believing what the other party said, he looked at the leader suspiciously.

Qi Shiyu saw Shen Tingyun looking far away, asking the team leader but not asking himself, his heart was sore, but he just said lightly: "Why didn't Fang Daxia ask me if there is any way?"

Shen Tingyun looked back at Qi Shiyu, and said: "The pavilion master said that I have come to Yingyang back then, and there are some old people. I'm not afraid that the old people are still there, and I can think of the past at a glance?"

The scene where the emperor sent people to chase them was still vivid in his memory, Shen Tingyun didn't want to be caught by someone he had seen before as soon as he sneaked into the palace.

Qi Shiyu asked back: "Could it be that Fang Daxia doesn't have any old people in Yingyang?"

Shen Tingyun pointed to his face and said: "How does the pavilion master know that he can be recognized by old people just by virtue of his skin?" Qi Shiyu tasted a hint of showing off from these words.Unlike the witty remarks of the person in front of him when he was proud, the little guard back then would come to show off to him after completing the task, clumsily speaking, wagging his tail, which made people feel extremely pitiful.

Qi Shiyu immediately understood that Shen Tingyun's appearance had been changed by Sang Zi, and that's why he swaggered into Ying Yang.Those of them who work as hidden guards are cautious in their bones, and they must ensure that they are safe at all times, and that nothing will happen to implicate the Lord.

It's a pity that I can't even recognize Shen Tingyun's original appearance, let alone the disguised him now.But only in this way can he not be blinded by skins and know the identity of the other party at a glance.

Qi Shiyu was not worried about meeting anyone, the palace was so big, and how many attendants would never see Junyan once in their lifetime, it was impossible for them to meet King Yingyang by such a coincidence.

Qi Shiyu pointed to the imperial offering golden melon carried into the warehouse of the post house by several people, and said, "Since Tingyulou dares to sell information to the rivers and lakes, there is naturally a way to get the information."

There is a hollow interlayer at the bottom of the box containing the pumpkins, which is not too big or too small to accommodate a person.Three or five boxes of pumpkins can fish in troubled waters and bring in three or five people in one trip.Jingua was sent to a dining room with a lot of people coming and going. Before Ying Yang had an accident, there were special people in the building who were in charge of responding outside the palace, and they could take away a lot of news at one time.

The team leader was taken aback. I don't know why the pavilion master told a knight-errant who met for the first time all the secrets in the building. If this matter got out, who would dare to do business with Tingyulou in the future?

Qi Shiyu signaled the team leader not to be afraid, and said to him: "You will know in the future that some people from the rivers and lakes have no place to come from and no place to go back." No one will leak it.

The caravan is resting today and the delivery order is delivered, and the officials in the palace will come to check and accept it tomorrow.

The caravan party had dinner at the inn, and they all went to bed early, lest they would fall asleep too late, and if they accidentally glanced out of the window, they would see something that was neither human nor ghost, making it difficult to sleep peacefully all night.

Qi Shiyu didn't sleep, and went to Shen Tingyun's place, pretending that he came to exchange information and discuss the matter of entering the palace.

Shen Tingyun was still the same as in the daytime, pretending not to know him.

Qi Shiyu cooperated very well with this, and came to Shen Tingyun's room respectfully, speaking in the same manner as he would a stranger.If Shen Tingyun hadn't remembered what King Xuan was like back then, he would have almost truly believed that the gentle and jade-like person he saw now was the real Qi Shiyu.

With Qi Shiyu treating him like this now, Shen Tingyun had to doubt the other party's purpose.

He didn't believe that Qi Shiyu would really like him, or that he didn't believe that Qi Shiyu would simply fall in love with someone without calculating or plotting.

What is Qi Shiyu planning to plot against him?Power?status?or something else?

"Do you know about the Gu King's host?" Qi Shiyu asked.

Shen Tingyun was not surprised that Qi Shiyu was in the Tingyu Tower, and would know secrets that even ordinary Zhu Mingjiao members did not know.He nodded and said that he knew more or less, and then told the other party what Su Xin said.

He is not Qi Shiyu, so he is not so suspicious.Now that they have decided to cooperate with each other, it is natural to share all the known information.

Qi Shiyu nodded.Obviously, what Shen Tingyun said, he already knew everything.

"Then have you ever thought about who will be the host?" Qi Shiyu asked.

Shen Tingyun said: "The host who orders millions of living corpses at every turn must be someone in a high position who deserves King Yang's trust. Most of them will be members of the royal family."

"But there are so many people in the royal family, who is the most suitable candidate?" Unlike other living corpses, the host can remain the same as it was before life, and can still retain consciousness.This means that the host has true immortality and supreme rights.

It's not that Shen Tingyun has never considered who King Yingyang will choose, but since the royal family has a large number of people, besides the royal family, there are also King Yingyang's confidantes who can be used.Secondly, the relationship between the royal family in Yingyang is complicated, and as a foreigner, it is impossible for me to tell who is close to King Yingyang and who is not with just a few words of information.

"Then what do you think?" Shen Tingyun asked.

Seeing that he could still help, Qi Shiyu felt a little happy, and said, "According to the news from Yulou, Ying Yang should have had the first living corpse more than a year ago, that is to say, that There must already be a host."

Shen Tingyun nodded and asked him what to do next.

Qi Shiyu changed the subject and said, "Fang Daxia, listening to Yulou's information is not for nothing."

"Then... what do you want?" He didn't have a lot of silver salary, and he didn't bring much money when he came out. He gave it to the innkeeper, and now he is almost penniless.Shen Tingyun didn't think that what Qi Shiyu wanted was a few taels of money in his hand.

Qi Shiyu leaned slightly and leaned in front of Shen Tingyun, as if he wanted to kiss.Shen Tingyun was startled, and subconsciously hid for a while, but later found that Qi Shiyu didn't want to touch him, but smiled and said: "During this time in Yingyang, you must go with me .”

"That's it?" Shen Tingyun couldn't believe that Qi Shiyu would be as simple as just walking with him... There must be some conspiracy... Definitely...

"That's it. If you agree, I'll continue." He no longer dared to have the slightest bit of greed. He only dared to fight for a little bit. Can have a dream.

Shen Tingyun didn't wait for the answer he wanted to hear, and the innocent and innocent Qi Shiyu in front of him made him feel strange.

"The host must be dead just like a living corpse. It takes time to raise a Gu king, and it also takes time for a Gu king to give birth to larvae. That is to say, the host must have been dead for more than a year and a half."

Shen Tingyun understood what Qi Shiyu said.

King Ying Yang might be able to find a dead man who is willing to sacrifice his life for Gu King, but his heart is complicated, he is not sure whether the dead man who has gained power will be loyal to him forever, only his own people can really use it.

The royal family who died a year and a half ago...

The two said the name "Cang Ming" in unison.

Qi Shiyu nodded and looked at Shen Tingyun with a smile.He had always known that the little guard wasn't really dumb, it was just that there was only one person left with his eyes full of eyes on him, which made it seem that the other party didn't understand anything.

Now that there is no self blocking his heart, he understands everything.
