Prince is a ghost

When Chu Quan woke up, he found himself lying on a soft bed, feeling refreshed. It seemed that someone had wiped his body and changed his clothes. The only discomfort he felt was the pain from his forehead.Chu Quan opened his eyes blankly, turned his head, and saw Yan Xichao who was guarding him.

"The lord is still there?" Chu Quan looked out the window, "Why is it still not dawn? I think I slept for a long time."

"You only slept for two hours." Yan Xichao touched Chu Quan's forehead with cold fingers, "How do you feel? Does it hurt?"

Chu Quan slightly hooked his lips, and said ironically, "In front of someone like Wang Ye who has experienced life and death, I don't have the nerve to say it hurts."

Yan Xichao looked at Chu Quan for a while, then changed the topic: "You are not a spirit master sent by the imperial court, who are you?"

Chu Quan looked puzzled: "I don't know what the prince means."

"Zhao Qian has already found the parents of the spirit master. They came to see you and made sure that you are not their son." Yan Xichao narrowed his eyes, "Who are you? Why did you sneak into An Ling as someone else's identity?" city?"

Only then did Chu Quan remember this incident.The real spirit master had long been buried in the mouth of the beast, and he was just a fake.Chu Quan avoided answering, and said lazily: "No matter who I am, I have inherited the spiritual power of Lord Jiang, and I am the only one who knows the whereabouts of the soul-guiding staff. Why does the prince know my true identity?"

Yan Xichao also seemed not very interested in Chu Quan's identity, so he stopped asking. "Chu Quan, the breath of the underworld doesn't feel good, does it?"

Fear flashed across Chu Quan's pale face, and he wrote lightly: "That's it, you won't die if you toss."

Yan Xichao sighed, "Why do you pretend to be indifferent? The breath of the underworld is aimed at torturing people's spirits, piercing their hearts, and making people recall the most painful things in their lives—whether it is spiritually or emotionally. Physically, it makes people feel like they are there.”

Chu Quan smiled wryly: "So that's the case. Has the prince ever received the breath of the underworld?"

"No."

Chu Quan was thoughtful, "I don't know what is the most painful memory of the lord. Could it be the glass of poisoned wine he drank before he died?" Chu Quan paused, and then said: "Or is it that he witnessed General Gu... " A knock on the door interrupted Chu Quan's words.

"Come in." Yan Xichao said.

Song Shuangfei and Zhuang Yue opened the door and walked in.When Song Shuangfei saw Chu Quan lying on the bed, his eyes darkened, and he respectfully said to Yan Xichao: "My lord, everything in the city is fine."

Yan Xichao asked: "Aren't there resentful spirits making trouble?"

Song Shuangfei said disdainfully: "They only know that they come out to have fun at night, who is in charge of the city, and who is the owner of the city, they don't care at all."

Yan Xichao nodded, "That's good. However, Anling City cannot be without an owner for a day. You should report the news of Jiang Anrong's death to the imperial court now. According to the previous practice, when the previous city lord dies, the deputy city lord will succeed you. It's time to start preparing for Jiang Anrong's funeral and succession ceremony."

"We understand."

"This king remembers that at the funeral of every city lord, spirit control masters from all over the Yanling City will come to Anling City. After the funeral, the new city lord will succeed immediately. You have to take care of everything in the city, especially those grievances. Yan Xichao glanced at Chu Quan, "Don't let others see the clue."

"Don't worry, my lord. We only attacked the city at dawn. Most of the resentful spirits don't know what happened. I will make them shut up for a few."

Yan Xichao thought for a while, and said: "If possible, try not to have conflicts with the resentful spirits. It is naturally the best for them to submit to us, and it may be useful in the future. This king doesn't know much about the minds of resentful spirits. Throwing the matter of 'resurrection', no wraith will not be unmoved."

Zhuang Yue said with a smile: "The prince is still wise."

Chu Quan lay on the bed calmly on the surface, but he was secretly planning in his heart.Yan Xichao didn't shy away from discussing things with them, thinking about it, he was sure that Chu Quan couldn't escape his grasp.He is alone now, without any support, the only way to escape is...

After Song Shuangfei and Zhuang Yue left, it was almost dawn.Yan Xichao said: "Chu Quan, I don't want to hurt you. But if you insist on being my enemy, I will make your life worse than death. I will give you a few days, you should think about it carefully." leave the room.

"My lord stay here. There is still some time before dawn, so why not stay here and chat with me for a while."

"What is there to talk about between you and me?"

Chu Quan smiled weakly, "My lord is really forgetful. We used to talk all night long, but now we have nothing to say? Well, my lord doesn't need to talk nonsense with people like me, but I still hope that my lord If you can answer me a few questions, even if you want me to die, you have to make me understand." Seeing that Yan Xichao didn't answer, Chu Quan continued: "The prince only needs to answer 'yes' and 'no', let me see See how much I guessed right. I guess, the prince has been cooperating with Song Shuangfei, but I don't know how you two got together. You already know the content of "Spiritual Corpse Forbidden Words" , you knew the method of 'resurrection', so you started looking for the whereabouts of several spiritual objects. You asked Zhuang Yue, who was still in the capital, to find the soul-returning ropes of the wandering people. You planned to let Jiang Anrong inherit the position of city lord and get the soul-drawing Staff, but now you can’t wait and act ahead of time. As for the reason you act ahead of time, I’m afraid it’s because you’re worried that I’ll expose your plan. You didn’t want to attack the corpse of Anling City, but you couldn’t find the corpse of that age, so you had to Take a risk and make the wrong move."

Yan Xichao was noncommittal, but Chu Quan knew that his guess was eight or nine.Chu Quan smiled slightly, and continued: "However, I still find it strange. Your plan can go smoothly as long as you kill me, but why haven't you done it so long? Would you rather take the risk of failure?"

"Immortality is in your hands, and I have given you a promise that I will not kill you."

Chu Quan shook his head, "If you can be 'resurrected' completely, what is the partial entity left by immortality? What's more, the prince is not like the kind of person who regards honesty as life in a narrow sense. So, prince, please Tell the truth, why didn't you kill me?"

Yan Xichao remained silent.

"Why don't I answer for my lord. My lord, is this... reluctant to kill me?"

"It's nonsense." Yan Xichao sneered, "If I don't want to part with it, why would I watch you suffer the crime of the breath of the underworld? Chu Quan, you are still real..." Yan Xichao suddenly couldn't continue, his mood Inexplicably chaotic.However, he obviously has lost his mind.

"Well... that's true. That's because I'm being sentimental." Chu Quan smiled, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "My lord, I've carefully considered what you said. I really don't have any good fruit to fight against you. I am willing to cooperate with you, no, I should rely on you, tell you the whereabouts of the Soul Guiding Staff, and help you 'resurrect'."

Chu Quan's attitude changed suddenly, Yan Xichao naturally didn't believe it. "What kind of conspiracy are you planning?"

Chu Quan looked innocent, and said with a smile: "What kind of conspiracy and tricks can I have? I am in the hands of the prince now, and it is not a blink of an eye for you to kill me? I am tired and don't want to toss anymore, instead of struggling , why not treat the prince as a backer, and ask the prince to treat me well."

Yan Xichao stared into Chu Quan's eyes, as if he wanted to see what Chu Quan was thinking.

"However, I have one more request." Chu Quan said slowly, "Master Jiang has always treated me very well, and in the end he taught me what he has learned all his life. For me, he is both a teacher and a benefactor. I hope I can Attend his funeral. When the funeral is over, I will definitely tell the prince the whereabouts of the spirit rod."
