The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

All the officials were stunned, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, this..."

The emperor glanced at Song De, and said, "Do you have three sons in your family? The youngest seems to be only ten years old, so forget him, but the older two are fine."

Song De was so frightened that his face turned pale, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has never been on a battlefield, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on a big job!"

The emperor gave a "tsk" and said, "Don't worry, Cen An is taking on this great responsibility. How could I make things difficult for your son? Yan Xun entered the military camp at the age of 12, and he had never been on the battlefield. Everything is learned through experience." Yes, how can there be a natural general? You say so."

The emperor slowly glanced at the ministers kneeling on the steps, and said slowly: "There are dozens of you, each family has at least two or three sons, and these hundred people will form a team alone, and I will ask Cen An to guide them carefully. , give them more chances to make meritorious deeds, don’t worry.”

Those who were not worried at first are now worried. They all know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. They are all civil officials, and no one expects their son to have such a "chance to make meritorious service".

"Why don't you talk anymore?" The emperor still smiled, "You must be very happy. It's okay, I can understand. Then you go back to the mansion and be happy for yourself, and I will tell Cen An to enter the palace later."

Song De looked embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this, minister..."

The emperor's face darkened, pretending to be angry, "Why, I took a step back, do you still want to make an inch? Do you regard me as your master, or let you make a round and flattened puppet?!"

The words were so serious that the ministers were so frightened that they kowtowed and did not dare to shout.But no one is willing to let his son go to the battlefield, no one is willing to agree.

During the stalemate, a servant came to report that Prime Minister Shen Qing had led five generals to seek an audience.The emperor calmed down and said, "Let them come over."

Shen Qing still had that calm and breezy appearance, followed by five generals in armor, namely Fu Cheng, Zhong Yin, Bo Xuan, Lu Xing and Wangu, all of them glanced at the group of ministers with cold eyes, leading Iron Armor's aura of prey.

Seeing Shen Qing, the emperor finally smiled sincerely, "Prince Shen, excuse me, and all your ministers excuse me."

Shen Qing stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty stopped court today, for some reason, the old minister brought five generals to come to have a look. Unexpectedly, all the ministers in the court changed the early court to be in front of His Majesty's Chongming Palace, the old minister was really curious. "

Before Song De could speak, Lu Xing turned around and shouted angrily, "Want to seize the military power of the general? Go ahead and dream!"

Fu Cheng pressed his shoulder, "Your Majesty, forgive me, General Lu is reckless."

The emperor held back his smile, and said flatly: "Oh, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little tired, so it's up to Prime Minister Shen to decide everything." After finishing speaking, he turned back and left the mess to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing said "yes", coughed lightly, and Bo Xuan said with a cold face: "Adults, do you want to go back by yourself, or do you want us to see you off?"

Liangzhou at this time.

The Taoist temple that Baiyu saw in the well was built in the previous dynasty and was abandoned for more than a hundred years. It is said that the county annals gave it a place in the gate of historic sites.The entire Taoist temple is made of green bricks, and those bricks are much larger than ordinary burnt bricks, and they seem to be still strong, but they have long been covered with moss, and they are all mottled and old.

They walked around the Taoist temple and found that the well was brand new, and there was no moss on the bricks.

"There must be something strange here. It's just that I don't know who the person who came here from the secret passage in the well before is. If we can find this person, maybe everything will be revealed." Ruan Haoyue said.

"Looking at the size of the shoe print, it should be a woman, or a short man." Mu Fengyi thought for a while, and said, "I prefer the former, because I have carefully looked at the shoe print, and it looks more like a woman's shoe .And the footprints are heavy at the front end, like a woman running with her skirts on her feet."

Wei Lun said: "There are quite a few women in the governor's mansion. Besides the madam, there are many maids and concubines, and there are also Qin Yao's maids. But the 270 people in the governor's mansion, including the maids and servants, were all killed."

"So, that shoe print really belonged to Qin Yao's maid?" Mu Fengyi asked in surprise.

Bai Yu said: "If it's really her, then there must be something wrong with this woman. Otherwise, she won't know that there is a secret passage in the well, and she should ask General Qin for help."

"So is there any way to find this person now?" Mu Fengyi asked.

Bai Yu looked around slowly, and gradually had an idea in his mind, "There is a way, but I'm not sure, so I can only try my best." He said to Mu Fengyi: "Send a letter to General Chunyu to open the coffin for autopsy. "

The results of the autopsy have not been released.But after Qin Yao's autopsy, when the body was buried again, the four porters carried the coffin back and forth neatly, and just stood up straight, but they all froze.

This coffin...how is it so light?

This was not the first time for them to lift the coffin, and they immediately felt clearly that this was completely the weight of the empty coffin.

"What's going on? It's empty?" a porter said in dialect.

The four of them looked at each other, feeling chills down their spines.

Qin Yao's body just disappeared.

That night, Liangzhou city began to be haunted.First, an old man at work heard a woman's cry, followed the sound but saw a white shadow drifting past.Later, many people living along the street heard the woman calling for help, but they opened the window and saw nothing.Later, in the abandoned Governor's Mansion, blue flames could often be seen shining from inside, and women screamed shrilly, but there was no one in the mansion.

Immediately afterwards, rumors spread in the city that Fang Huai's youngest son had killed an innocent girl, and the girl was full of resentment, and her soul lingered, and ghosts often haunted Liangzhou.Gossip is always spread more and more widely, and the more it is spread, the more embellished it is, not to mention the theory of ghosts and gods has always been believed by the people.More and more people saw Qin Yao's "ghost", saying that she was dressed in white, had long hair, and her face was covered with blood, which was terrifying.It has been making everyone feel insecure and restless.

It was late at night, the sound of wind and rain was loud, and the sound of beating leaves was rattling.In the guest room, a woman in a middle coat curled up on the bed, tightly clutching her quilt.A dark shadow swayed in front of the bed, vaguely a woman with loose hair.She trembled and asked, "Who?!"

As soon as the woman lifted the curtain, it turned out to be cinnabar.She frowned carefully, "How many times have I told you that all ghost stories are false!"

The woman on the bed shook her head in panic, "But, but her body is gone! How could a dead person disappear? She must have turned into a ghost to seek revenge!"

Zhu Sha said impatiently: "Fang Rui was the one who killed her. Fang Rui died a long time ago. What revenge does she seek?"

"No, no!" The woman looked around in fear, "She was killed by us! She..."

Zhu Sha couldn't hold back anymore, slapped her hard on the bed, pointed at her and said, "Yan Zhi, I'll warn you for the last time, if you dare to say such a word again, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Yan Zhi was slapped, she didn't dare to speak anymore, she fell on the bed trembling and didn't move.Zhu Sha stared at her angrily for a while, then turned and left.

Rouge covered her face in a daze for a while, then jumped up as if she suddenly remembered something, put on her clothes hastily, rummaged through the closet for a while, and found a chiseled gold hairpin in the pile of clothes. Sophisticated, but somewhat dated.She stuffed the hairpin into her bosom, tiptoed to the door, looked out for a while, and walked out the door.

She ran all the way in the dark, avoiding the patrolling people, and came to the edge of the city wall. There was a section of weeds half a person's height under the city wall.Rouge looked around for a while, then got into the grass.

It turned out that there was a dog hole under the city wall. The hole was so small that only a thin woman could get out with great difficulty.Rouge lay on the ground with hands and feet, covered in mud, and finally got out of the hole.

She stumbled and ran all the way, and by the time she reached Qin Yao's grave, she had broken her knee.She staggered and knelt down in front of Qin Yao's tomb, kowtowed and cried: "Miss, I'm sorry for you, I beg you to forgive me. For the sake of serving you for so many years, please forgive me!"

She cried and took out the hairpin from her bosom, and put it in front of the tombstone, "I will bring you the relics of the madam. Miss, take this hairpin and rest in peace! Spare the slave!"

Before Yan Zhi's voice was blown away by the wind, suddenly, a white figure erratically appeared in front of her silently.Rouge looked at the pale face in front of her, most of which was covered by her hair, she couldn't speak, her body trembled violently, she let out a cry of surprise, and fainted.

The white shadow still stood still, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to brush his hair away, stretched out his foot and kicked Rouge's calf, and said with a smile, "Yo, you actually passed out."

Wei Lun came out from the darkness, smiled and tugged at Ruan Haoyue's hair, "Don't tell me, I feel flustered just looking at it. People with ghosts in their hearts can't stand being frightened."

Rouge slowly opened her eyes between waking up and dreaming.A gust of wind blew across her face, and she shuddered, horrified to find herself in a truly pitch-black darkness.She hadn't recovered yet, she almost thought she was blind, and stretched out her hand in front of her eyes in a little confusion.

After a while, she woke up suddenly and stood up in a panic.

Suddenly, a faint laughter floated in the air, and the laughter became more and more shrill.A voice slowly floated up, "Why, why did you want to kill me?"

Yan Zhi was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face turned blue, her whole body was trembling, and she said tremblingly, "Miss, please forgive me! Miss, please forgive me!"

The voice ignored her and just repeated: "Why did you hurt me? Why did you hurt me?"

Rouge's face was pale, her body was shrunk into a ball, and she was covered in chaff, "It's not me! It's not me who wants to harm you! It's cinnabar! She forced me! Miss, go find her! Don't look for me, don't look for me!"

Bai Yu's brows twitched slightly, and she exchanged a glance with Ruan Haoyue.Ruan Haoyue continued to smile sinisterly, "You lied to me, you lied to me!"

Yanzhi shook her head desperately, "I didn't lie to you! It's really cinnabar! She lives in Yiyang Inn! It's all arranged by her! I don't want to harm you! But she threatened me with my parents! I really have no choice!"

"Yiyang Inn." Bai Yu said in a low voice, "General Mu, hurry up! There is a cinnabar mole between Zhu Sha's eyebrows!"

Mu Fengyi nodded, and quickly left with the people brought by Ruan Haoyue.

Ruan Haoyue accepted it as soon as she saw it, cleared her throat, and said, "Okay, girl, let's have a good chat."

Rouge was stunned.
