Prince is a ghost

In the entire ghost town, there was only one living person and one dead person who could talk to Chu Quan.As for the living man, he couldn't leave Jiang Chengzhu at all, so Chu Quan could only find another dead man.But Chu Quan also knew how to restrain himself, and he was sure that the resentful spirits would not trouble him, and he also had some ability to defend himself, so he didn't spend the night in the palace, and only stayed with Yan Xichao for a while before going back home.

One person and one ghost have come into contact a lot, but the form of dialogue between them has not changed much.No matter how much Chu Quan likes Yan Xichao's face, he also knows that it's okay to talk with him, and it's fine to talk to him.What's more, Chu Quan always felt that even though Yan Xichao was dead, his heart was still alive. He suspected that Yan Xichao's desire to leave Anling City was not just a talk.

With Chu Quan, Yan Xichao didn't talk much, and most of the time he listened to Chu Quan's stories, and Chu Quan didn't talk too much, the two had a perfect understanding.

That night, after Chu Quan finished telling the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing, he yawned, and when he turned his head, the beautiful boy Wraith had a serious expression on his face.

"what happened?"

Yan Xichao sighed, "I remembered an old friend."

Chu Quan raised his eyebrows, "Is it the general who vowed to follow you to the death?" Chu Quan remembered that Song Shuangfei once said that 40 years ago, a general rebelled against Yan Xichao. was put to death.

Yan Xichao nodded, "It's been 40 years..."

"Stop lamenting life with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old face, like an old man."

"If I were still alive, I would be nearly sixty years old." Yan Xichao cried and laughed.

But even a wry smile is still a smile, Chu Quan was slightly taken aback when he saw the beauty showing her face.Yan Xichao noticed Chu Quan's expression, "What?"

"It's okay. I just think, my lord, you can smile more if you're okay. You smile very nicely." Chu Quan said truthfully.

Yan Xichao said, "Who am I smiling for?"

"For example...me?" Chu Quan pointed to the black cat lying on the side and licking its paw, "or it."

Yan Xichao looked at Chu Quan like an idiot.

Chu Quan stretched his waist, "My lord, I have to go."

"Ah."

When Chu Quan walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and smiled and said, "My lord, do you know? There are rumors that the emperor in the story is actually the same... He has a habit of breaking sleeves. Some people say that he is very fond of General Wei Qing is not just a king's affection for his subjects."

Yan Xichao nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood.

Chu Quan said again: "I heard that Dayan had a masculine style for a while, and I don't know if there were a few handsome boys in the prince's house when the prince was still alive?"

Yan Xichao narrowed his eyes, and said after a while: "It's getting late, you should go back earlier."

Chu Quan shrugged and walked away without asking any further questions.

The next day, Song Shuangfei rarely appeared at the dinner table.Chu Quan asked, "Is the city lord feeling better?"

Song Shuangfei sighed, "It's still the same. Chu Quan, I have something to entrust to you."

"Please say."

"Last night, I received a letter from outside the city. There was a general who was disarmed and returned to the field. He passed by Anling City and wanted to come in and pay homage to that prince."

Chu Quan was a little surprised, "Oh? I don't know who it is?"

"General Zhuang Yuezhuang. He was fortunate to be promoted by the prince in his early years, and he did not participate in the rebellion. It is said that he told the secret to the current emperor."

"In that case, he betrayed the prince, and he still has the face to pay homage?" Chu Quan felt that General Zhuang was really thick-skinned.

"I guess he also feels guilty, after all, the prince has the kindness to know him."

"What does Brother Song want me to do?"

"Once ordinary people enter Anling City, they will be infected with death energy immediately, and their lives will not be long. You take this and go outside the city to bring the general in." Song Shuangfei handed Chu Quan a piece of the Wall of Shadows.

"Now"

"Well, General Zhuang arrived here last night, and he is probably waiting outside the city now."

Chu Quan left the city with the Wall of Shadows as he said.As soon as I left the city, I saw a group of people looking around outside the city gate.There were about a dozen of them, four horses and two carriages.Seeing Chu Quan coming out, a young servant said to the sedan chair, and a middle-aged man about 60 years old walked out of the sedan chair. He was tall and had a firm face. With a masculine air unique to soldiers, Chu Quan knew that this was General Zhuang Yuezhuang.

Chu Quan said politely: "General Zhuang, I am here at Chuquan, and I was ordered by the deputy city lord to take the general into the city."

Zhuang Yue showed a hearty smile, "I'm no longer a general! Little brother, don't be too polite!"

Chu Quan smiled, but did not change his words: "General, there is only one shadow wall here, and you are the only one who can enter the city. You must know that without the shadow wall protection, normal people cannot enter this ghost city. "

Zhuang Yue thought for a while, and said to a young man: "Take your wife and young master to the nearby countryside to settle down first, and I will go find you when the matter is over."

After sending his family away, Zhuang Yue smiled and said to Chu Quan: "Please trouble me, little brother!"

"General, please."

During the day, Anling City was deathly silent. Zhuang Yue came to this kind of place for the first time. He looked around all the way, as if he really wanted to go into the houses, but he knew that he had already left the world with half of his feet, so he couldn't be careless. .Chu Quan looked at him with a serious face, and said, "General, don't be too nervous. Wraiths can only show up at night."

Zhuang Yue forced a smile, "I really can't imagine what it will be like in the city at night. It's a good thing that you have trapped these vengeful spirits here, otherwise they would wander among the people, and wouldn't they scare the common people half to death?"

Chu Quan brought Zhuang Yue back to the mansion, Song Shuangfei exchanged greetings with Zhuang Yue, and the three of them had lunch again, and Zhuang Yue proposed to worship Yan Xichao.

"To tell you the truth, my greatest wish in this life is to kowtow to the prince before I die. I used to be in the court, and it was difficult to move around. Now I have no official status, and I am a commoner. I only hope that I can realize my wish as soon as possible and return to my hometown." Live in peace."

"Alright, there are still a few hours before nightfall, General, let me take you to the north of the city."

Chu Quan said: "But the city lord..."

"The city lord has taken the medicine, and has fallen asleep now, and won't wake up for a while. Chu Quan, you just stay at the mansion."

Chu Quan vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded.

Throughout the afternoon, Chu Quan was a little restless. He felt that he was oversensitive, so he forced himself to calm down and read a book.When night fell and Song Shuangfei hadn't come back, Chu Quan realized that he didn't think much about it, and something was really wrong about this matter.

Dayan's law clearly stipulates that no one is allowed to spend the night in the city, except for the spiritual masters appointed by the imperial court and those who hold the edict of the emperor.It's already this time, if Song Shuangfei didn't send Zhuang Yue out of the city, but let him stay in the palace in the north of the city, then...Could it be that Zhuang Yue's purpose was not to kowtow in front of the Yanxi tide monument at all, but to get along with the resentful spirit? The form of Yan Xichao talking... It's strange, what can he say between a living person and a dead person, is it possible that he wants to express his deep remorse?

Chu Quan wanted to find out, but he was worried that City Lord Jiang would be alone, so he finally suppressed his curiosity and stayed in the mansion honestly.

And in the palace in the north of the city, the white-haired old man knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head three times, and then raised his head. Looking at the resentful spirit floating in front of him, the old man's eyes turned red instantly, "My lord, I'm late!" It's over. The last general deserves death!"

"Zhuang Yue, I really want to help you up, but I can't do it. You should get up by yourself."

Zhuang Yue burst into tears, "My lord..."

"I haven't seen you in 40 years, but you have changed a lot. In my impression, you are still the young man who followed Gu Bai and fought bravely."

"The last general is sorry for the lord, and I'm sorry for General Gu!" Zhuang Yue thought of the scene when Gu Bai was cut in half, and his whole body trembled.

There was a trace of hostility in Yan Xichao's eyes, and then he calmed down again, "But you didn't break your promise to us, you still came to see me after all, and Gu Bai finally pushed you out in vain."

"Kechen is decades late!" Zhuang Yue burst into tears.

"It's not your fault. If you want to survive, you naturally have to draw a line with this king and stay in the capital as a loyal courtier to the emperor." Yan Xichao suddenly laughed, "My younger brother was suspicious when he was young. You're quite old, and I think it's a problem to look at anyone. If you show even the slightest hint of wanting to come and see me, you'll probably lose your life. To be honest, I thought you wouldn't come here until you die. The opportunity in Spirit City..."

Zhuang Yue wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the one in the capital has been in bed for a long time, and I don't think he can last. In the past half a year, it was the emperor's grandson who presided over the government. The emperor's grandson is young, and for I was so busy with state affairs that I didn't have any scruples for the minister, and the minister saw that the time was ripe, so he proposed to sue his old age and return home, and the emperor's grandson agreed without asking too much."

"Is that so..." Yan Xichao said in a low voice, "My dear brother, is he going to die too..."

"I can be sure that within a month, the emperor will..."

Yan Xichao was silent for a while, "Emperor Grandson, what kind of person is he?"

When Song Shuangfei was away, Chu Quan kept looking after City Lord Jiang.City Lord Jiang was indeed very ill. He fell into a coma for a whole day, but he still didn't wake up.Chu Quan could only wipe his body and feed him water.

Chu Quan didn't see Song Shuangfei until noon the next day.Song Shuangfei looked very tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.After hesitating for a long time, Chu Quan asked, "General Zhuang, have you left already?"

"Of course. Chu Quan, don't you forget that, except for the spirit master, no one else can step into the city at night?"

"Of course I remember, it's just..."

Song Shuangfei took the initiative to explain without waiting for Chu Quan to ask: "I sent General Zhuang out of the city before nightfall yesterday. Since Anling City is a little far away from where the general's family lives, I sent General Zhuang back. Once, it took a whole night..." Song Shuangfei pinched his brows, "I'm exhausted."

"In that case, you'd better go back to your room and rest for a while. I have everything here."

Song Shuangfei nodded, "That's up to you."
