dim lights

Shen Tingyun entered the bedroom, and Qi Shiyu followed behind him, covering the side door of the bedroom for him.

King Yingyang was already asleep, and the sound of snoring could be heard from inside the gauze curtain.

Shen Tingyun opened the gauze curtain and asked in a low voice, "Can dead people breathe too?" No one could answer him.None of them have ever seen the Gu King, they only know that the thing is very evil, it can infinitely magnify people's desires, and turn the originally prosperous small border country into a purgatory on earth.

"Let's do it." Qi Shiyu said.

Shen Tingyun nodded, and pulled out the dagger neatly, but he didn't stab it into the body of the person on the couch.

How can you kill a dead person completely?

They only have one chance, and if they can't kill them with one blow, they will definitely be counterattacked.

Qi Shiyu gestured in front of his neck, and Shen Tingyun immediately understood what he meant—to cut off King Yingyang's head.

The knife in Shen Tingyun's hand hesitated.He really hesitated to carry out such a bloody thing.

"I'll do it." Qi Shiyu took his dagger and took two steps forward.

He and Shen Tingyun are completely two kinds of people.Shen Tingyun still has kind thoughts in his heart even though he is in deep quagmire, and when he has to kill someone, he will choose to kill with one blow, trying to alleviate the pain of the other party as much as possible.And Qi Shiyu has always been ruthless, without a clear view of good and evil, he is a decisive person.

Killing one person can save the world, Shen Tingyun may hesitate whether that person should be killed and how to kill him, but Qi Shiyu will use the most effective means to take his life before Shen Tingyun has time to think about it.

Shen Tingyun took a few steps back and guarded the door of the inner hall for Qi Shiyu.

At the moment when the blade was about to fall, King Yingyang opened his cloudy eyes and shouted at the two of them.

"Come here, there are assassins!" There were already few living people in the palace, and King Yingyang didn't know how these two people passed the inspections of living corpses and sneaked into the palace.He shouted loudly to the guards in the outer courtyard, and orderly footsteps sounded in the courtyard in an instant. The visitors who returned to the world waved their weapons and marched towards the inner courtyard in one order, guarding their master.

"You, you guys, what do you want to do?" King Ying Yang asked in horror.Although the living corpse is strong, its movements are slow. If it wants to reach the inner hall, it needs to delay for some time.

Qi Shiyu, as if he had never heard of it, stepped onto the bed and thrust the blade towards King Yingyang's body.He couldn't care too much, he had to return the host to death as soon as possible, otherwise the guards would have no chance when they arrived at the dormitory.

King Yingyang's old body struggled constantly, but in the end he was old and weak, his limbs were like fish strayed into dry land, after a few flops, he no longer had the strength to move.His eyes widened, his chapped lips moved, and he stopped breathing.

Qi Shiyu heard that King Yingyang opened his mouth unwillingly before he died, and asked himself silently, why?

"Look at the world today, how dare you ask me why." Qi Shiyu put away the bloody dagger, and closed his eyes for King Yingyang who died with regret.Only those who truly care about the world are worthy of the whole world.From the moment he made his first citizen into a living corpse, King Yingyang lost his qualifications to be a king.

The footsteps of the living corpses stopped instantly, and the courtyard returned to silence.

"Is it over?" Shen Tingyun let out a long sigh of relief, and collapsed by the door.

Qi Shiyu frowned and asked, "Is it a little too easy?" He always felt that something was wrong.Everything today is full of indescribable sense of disobedience.

Why did King Yingyang die only after his heart was pierced?

Why did the blood splashed on his face carry the warmth of a living person?

In the blink of an eye, Qi Shiyu saw the scene when they had just climbed up the small building.The stairs of the small building have long been dilapidated, covered with cobwebs, and almost got himself and Ting Yun together.

If people go up and down frequently, how can there be cobwebs all over the stairs?But if no one entered for a long time, where did Cang Hong appear in the building?

unless……

Unless the people upstairs have not come down for a long time.

Just when Qi Shiyu was about to open his mouth to tell Shen Tingyun the chilling truth, a white dove flew out of the window of the inner hall.

The white pigeon circled around the room a few times, and finally landed neatly on Shen Tingyun's shoulder.

Shen Tingyun remembered what he had said before he left the valley, as long as he carried Gu worms with him, the pigeons in the church would find him.So Shen Tingyun grabbed the pigeon and found a wrapped letter between his legs.

"There used to be a Vermillion Bird jade pendant in the church. If it got close to the host, the temperature would be abnormal, so as to distinguish the identity of the host. When the sacred object was lost, the jade pendant also disappeared. Maybe it was also lost in the territory of Dalu."

Shen Tingyun took out the jade pendant stolen from Li Shilang's mansion in his arms, and fell silent.This jade pendant engraved with the pattern of the Vermilion Bird is undoubtedly the one lost by Zhu Mingjiao.He did touch the hot jade pendant tonight, but it was not in King Ying Yang's bedroom, but after he came out of the small building.

Qi Shiyu also saw what was written in the letter, and knew that his conjecture just now had been confirmed.

It turns out that the royal family who really died was not King Yingyang, but Canghong as the heir!

But when did Cang Hong die?

Qi Shiyu's memory quickly skipped everything he had experienced in Yingyang, and finally stayed on the changes in the palace that night before they fled the capital.

At that time, Shen Tingyun was shot by random arrows, and Qi Shiyu didn't have time to think about what happened in the palace, nor did he investigate why the guards who were chasing him suddenly dispersed.

If that night, Ying Yang's prince was buried for his dead lover, and Ying Yang lost their heir, then would all the sudden chaos of that night be explained?

Shen Tingyun bit his finger, quickly wrote a few words on the back of the letter brought by Su Xin, and then released the white pigeon that conveyed the message.

The living corpses in the courtyard that had stopped moving took another step, and they were completely surrounded!

"Why is it that every time I'm with you, I'm either surrounded by people or hunted down? Qi Shiyu, are you unlucky?" Shen Tingyun asked.

"From the time when I, a son of the prince's family, was quickly kidnapped by the Yamen, you should be able to tell that my luck is really bad." Qi Shiyu smiled, "But there are always noble people to help, it seems that it is not too much. Difference."

Qi Shiyu didn't say the phrase "You are my nobleman", but he knew that Shen Tingyun understood what he meant, and the tips of his ears turned red, which made him want to get closer and kiss her.

"Thank you both." Cang Hong's voice came from the courtyard untimely. He stepped into the bedroom and saw King Ying Yang who had died of anger, showing a satisfied smile, "The host can't kill the master of King Gu. , so I had to endure his orders. Now that he is finally dead, in order to thank you two, I will give you eternal life."

Cang Hong laughed loudly, starting from today, he will never be controlled by others again.The whole world will become in the palm of his hand.
