ghost city

Intoxicating incense was burning in the room, the curtains were drooping, and the shadows of the candles were shaking red, creating an ambiguous light. There was a rotten aura spreading everywhere, but people were willing to sink into it and stay drunk.

Zi You opened her eyes, and found herself sitting on a brocade couch, her body had been replaced by a red dress, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of herself in the bronze mirror, and was really taken aback.

How do you dress like this?This is clearly a wedding dress.Looking at her own face again, there was a light layer of rouge on her lips, Dai on her eyebrows, and a delicate hairpin on her head, her face was so radiant, she felt very strange.

She touched her whole body, fortunately the inner garment had not been touched by anyone, and the ice hairpin in her bosom was still there.She slowly took out the ice hairpin and stuck it on her hairpin.

What exactly is Han Cang going to do?

He didn't know what agreement he had reached with Xinghun, and he brought himself to Youwang City, where he was imprisoned, and it has been ten days now.

Wei Ling was accused of "unnecessary" by the city lord, and was confined in the Red Thorn Courtyard, surrounded by city guards.At the same time, Han Cang is quite favored by the city lord, and he is in full swing.

It is said that although the city lord ordered Wang Liao to be recalled, Wang Liao refused to obey the order with five thousand troops.

Zi You was burning with anxiety: Sima Shang was also detained by the city lord, and they are currently being beaten passively.Since returning to the city, Wei Ling has been more low-key, and he doesn't know why the city lord suddenly attacked.Could it be that he was afraid of Wei Linggong's high power?There must be Han Cang's 'credit'.

What Wei Ling was waiting for, she couldn't figure it out at all. Did he already have a plan in mind, or was there a reason why he had to give in?

She suddenly realized that since she came here, all she had been thinking about was Wei Ling, and she forgot to worry about her own situation.Why is this so?When did my mind start to change, and I even forgot the deep-seated hatred.Have you completely forgiven and tried to accept him?

The distracting thoughts in her mind fluctuated, hitting the bottom line she had always insisted on again and again.Since Wei Ling stabbed her to death with a sword five years ago, she has completely buried that feeling in her heart.But at some point, this ray of affection broke out again, and it became more and more intense, so that when she found out, she could no longer control her thoughts.

Such emotion made her feel panic, when did she recover?Could it be the day we parted from him?Or the night he rescued her from Yanmen Pass?She had no way of knowing, but this emotion was secretly growing, and when she found out, it had already been so deeply integrated into her bone marrow, as if worrying about him had become a kind of nature.

The affection was as real as family affection.The concern for him has unconsciously surpassed the emotion for his uncle.How can she do this?How can you be so selfish?

Never loathed myself so much.Emotions seemed out of control, which caught her off guard and made her feel deeply powerless.

It turned out that she was also deceiving herself.

Oh, so what?Now that you have killed that relationship with your own hands, don't think about it anymore.Whether he can escape smoothly is still a question.No matter what, she didn't want to be Han Cang's leverage to blackmail Wei Ling.

She walked to the window, where the mermaid oil lamp was still burning brightly.Under the bright yellow flames, long daggers, silver spears, and heavy armor slowly came into view.This courtyard has long been surrounded by heavy soldiers.She had seen the attire of the city guards, and it didn't look like this. The ones stationed outside should be the pro-army of the inner palace - Han Cang's private armed forces.

The door of the house was also locked, and it seemed to be sealed.It seems that Hancang is well arranged.

"My lord." The servant girl's voice sounded suddenly, and Zi You quickly sat back on the bed, thinking about the countermeasures.

"Miss Zi is satisfied with everything here?" Han Cang raised the beaded curtain and walked in.He was still dressed in red and had black hair, and his eyes were still sparkling with sparkles, burning and intoxicating like peach blossoms.But this face, which even women envy, made Ziyou feel disgusted.

He and Guo Kai are both lowly fire demons, who once framed their father.This revenge has to be reported.

For some reason, looking at his red dress today, I find it extremely dazzling.Wearing this wedding dress also made her very uncomfortable.

"Master Han, you are being polite. You are thoughtful, you have thoughtful arrangements for food, clothing and housing, and there are even guards protecting you day and night. How can I be picky?" Ziyou glanced at the guards outside the window intentionally or unintentionally, with a half-smile on her face.

Han Cang's face froze when he heard the words, he naturally understood the meaning of Zi You's words.However, he pretended not to know, just smiled, walked a little closer, and asked gently: "Does this wedding dress still fit? Miss Zi's snowy skin and beautiful appearance, I think after a while, Master Ling will be more familiar with your attire." Fall for it."

Although his tone was flat, but like ice, it instantly froze her heart.

"Wei Ling?" She whispered in her heart, but she still maintained a calm expression on her face.

"Master Han, why did you say that?" Ziyou glanced at him, and said with a light smile, "I don't know what I am capable of, but I am so troublesome to take care of you? What do you want me to do by keeping me here?" She His eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face pulled away bit by bit.

"Hehe," Tao Hua's eyes sparkled again, his whole face became lively, Han Cang said with a smile, "Miss Zi, don't worry, you will know after a while that everything Han did was ordered by the city lord."

As he spoke, he picked up the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and tapped lightly on the back of the mirror a few times.

"City Master Youwang? Did he instruct Han Cang to coerce her to come here? Then why?" Ziyou's doubts became more and more serious, and a kind of uneasiness engulfed her heart, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.She always felt that this matter must have something to do with Wei Ling.

She took a deep breath, but her eyes fell on the inconspicuous bronze mirror.After several taps by Han Cang, the mirror became blurred.She suddenly remembered that this bronze mirror was somewhat similar to the later generation mirror hidden in the Xuan Palace by the Yin Yang family.

"What is Miss Zi thinking?" Han Cang still had a gentle smile on his face, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Zi Youfang came back to his senses, fell silent for a moment, raised his eyes slightly, and curled the corners of his mouth: "Oh, it's nothing. I thought, Master Han's words could make Star Soul's [-] troops retreat without a fight. You have already I don't know how the city lord can reward you for being an official in the inner mansion?"

Hearing the words, Han Cang frowned inadvertently, and then stretched them out again: "Mr. Han is in a high position, but he has no achievements in size. He is in fear every day. Doing this can also make me feel more at ease. How dare I claim credit? Say Come on, Young Master Ling is the one who deserves the most credit. The city lord has no rewards for him." He raised his tone slightly, and gave Ziyou a meaningful look.

Her heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword, and Han Cang's words made her tremble with fear: There is a saying, when there is nothing to reward, kill!Could it be that Wei Linggong was the master of the earthquake and was suspected by others?Could this be the end of Wei Ling?

No, it won't.Even if City Lord Youwang had such an intention, Wei Ling would not sit still.

Certainly not!

She meditated in her heart, trying to calm down the waves in her heart.

Han Cang glanced at her, stopped lingering, and walked out the door slowly.

"The ancestral dragon will die, and the emperor star will change positions. The roulette wheel of fate is about to start."

He left a word and gradually walked away.

************************

"Young master, the city lord has been waiting for a long time in the palace of haunting souls, please go there as soon as possible." A guard waited outside Wei Ling's courtyard to spread the word.

Wu Man has led heavy troops to surround the Red Thorn Courtyard. If Wei Ling refuses to obey, he will immediately send city guards to arrest him.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Wei Ling glanced at the heavy soldiers outside the door, and he knew in his heart: It seems that the city lord is really going to do something to him, and he has to bear it a little longer to see what the city lord plans.

Wei Ling got up and was about to leave, but Sima Shang couldn't help shouting behind him: "A Ling!" His eyebrows were knitted together, and his eyes were full of worry.

Wei Ling turned around, held Sima Shang's hand, and said in a low voice, "If I don't come back within two hours, then proceed as planned."

"Don't worry." Sima Shang nodded vigorously, "Wang Liao has already ambushed outside the city, and everything is ready."

Wei Ling patted him on the shoulder, turned to leave, the robe was swept away, a gust of cold wind was brought up, and Sima Shang's heart also felt a gust of cold.

There is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.He looked at the back of Wei Ling going away, and tightly clenched the tiger-shaped jade with his hands.

Although he didn't have the right to command the troops, but with the real Tiger Talisman in his hand, it was enough to stop the city guards from moving forward.

Watching Wei Ling follow Wu Man's guards towards the Hall of Haunting Souls from a distance, Han Cang heaved a sigh of relief.

The city guards had surrounded the Red Thorn Courtyard, even if Sima Shang wanted to rescue Wei Ling, there was nothing he could do.Han Cang holds the Tiger Talisman of the City Guard Army, and Wu Man is also under his control.Where the soldiers of the city guards are pointing is also a sentence from Han Cang.

Even if Sima Shang was able to break through, he was not afraid. The Red Thorn Courtyard was the farthest from the Haunting Soul Hall. He had already set up three lines of defense along the way. Three barriers.

The number of city guards is close to [-], how can we not do anything to them?

The red thorn flower has been sent out of the city, and the star soul should also act according to the agreement. If there is no accident, he should have broken the seal of the Styx according to that method at this moment, and sneaked into the city with the dead soldiers and puppets.

Han Cang raised the corner of his mouth: what is Wei Ling, and what is Sima Shang?He's the one who's sure to win.Even the city lord can't escape his calculations.

************************

There is no daylight in Youwang City, only mermaid oil lamps are used for lighting, and the entire Yinghun Temple is shrouded in faint light, like a ghostly palace full of ghosts and monsters.The cold palace walls reflected gray and black rays of light, and there was a ghostly aura everywhere.

The eaves of the main hall protrude outwards, and the roof of the hall is so high that it goes straight into the sky with a sharp and flamboyant posture.Look at the majestic palace pavilion standing on the nine-fold stone steps, the open door of the palace is dark, like a gluttonous mouth, ready to swallow people into the belly at any time.Such a strong evil pressure makes people breathless.

Wei Ling stepped into the dark hall step by step, as if he was stepping into an abyss of death.He hasn't stepped here for almost three years, and hasn't seen the city lord for three years.

Entering the main hall, he was immediately engulfed by a shadow, even the faces of the warriors in front of the hall were hidden in the darkness, only the icy sword tip showed a little bit of cold light.The front of the main hall was also dim, Wei Ling still walked forward, reached the hall, and bowed down:

"Wei Ling sees the city lord."

"Please get up." A voice came from far ahead, majestic for no reason, like the sun and the moon high above, looking down on the ants-like beings, ruling the fate of the world.

As soon as the Youwang City Lord finished speaking, a bright light instantly illuminated every corner of the hall.The light seemed to be coming from the top of the head, not the old mermaid oil lamp.

Wei Ling couldn't help raising his eyes, and he saw nine luminous pearls embedded in the ceiling of the hall, exuding a soft silver glow, just like nine obsidian stars in the sky.

He couldn't help secretly wondering, there were no such nine night pearls in the hall in the past, why the city lord arranged them like this, and there were exactly nine.

Leaving aside two of them, the outline of the remaining seven beads looks familiar. The positions occupied by the seven beads seem to be...

Thinking of this, Wei Ling suddenly felt dizzy, and there was a strange burning sensation in his chest.

"Wei Ling, how does it feel to gallop on the battlefield these past few years and drink the blood of the enemy? How does it feel to set up an ambush by Bo Langsha? Have you played enough games?"

"Ka Ka Ka." As if a thunderbolt fell directly on his body, his whole body seemed to be shattered, his consciousness had been emptied, and his mind was empty.

How did he know that he was assassinating Qin in Bolangsha, and what was his relationship with Donghuang Taiyi?Could it be that Han Cang leaked the secret?

His body was trembling violently, and cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

"Huh?" The voice of the city lord Youwang came faintly, like a cold needle full of poison, piercing someone's heart.

Wei Ling tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, raised his head with difficulty, and followed the voice.

Only then did he realize that the curtain had been removed from the hall, and the face of the city lord was exposed in front of his eyes without reservation.

He has a yellow and black complexion, sharp eagle-like eyes, and a ring of mustaches around his lips.He had never seen such a face.

Look at the attire again: Eguanbo belt, wide sleeves and wide front, light blue skirt trimmed with silver, and cloud patterns on the collar of the sleeves.There seemed to be a layer of cloud around him.

Wei Ling quickly searched for the person in his memory, his face turning pale inch by inch.He clenched his fists tightly, trying to restrain the trembling of his body.

Although he has never seen this person, it does not mean that he does not know.

Bathing orchid soup and mufang, Huacai clothes are like Ying, spirits are curled up and left, death is manifested and Weiyang is young,..., the emperor of the spirit has descended, far away, in the clouds, looking at Jizhou for more than enough, and crossing the world how poor...

He is - Lord Yunzhong!

The name flashed across his heart, and the waves of shock in his heart almost knocked him down: this is impossible!Absolutely impossible!Since the day when Hanzhuo City Lord built the city, Youwang City has rebelled against the Yinyang family, and it is incompatible with it.How could the Youwang City Lord be a member of the Yin Yang family! ?

Besides, Jun Yunzhong had already gone to the East China Sea to obtain the elixir, so how could he appear here?

I must have made a mistake!

City Lord Youwang looked at Wei Ling standing there in a daze, his face turning blue and pale, and he had already guessed what he was suspicious of.

"You don't need to guess, I am indeed Lord Yunzhong." City Lord Youwang stared at the water ghost standing under the hall, and said calmly.

Wei Ling fixed his eyes on the person in front of him, his sharp gaze fell on that person's face like a cold blade, as if trying to pierce his disguise.Her blue eyes were full of shock and doubt, but her tense face looked like an ice crystal about to shatter.

"However, there is one thing you may not guess. Actually, I am not the Lord of Youxuan City." His face was calm, and his eyes were as leisurely as the clouds in the sky. Waiting for the moment to reverse the fate of the world."

Ignoring the waves of shock in Wei Ling's eyes, he continued: "I know you have doubts, don't worry, I will tell you slowly. In fact, you have a lot to do with Youwang City, and even The fate of Youwan City is closely related. I will tell you all about it."

He slowly approached Wei Ling, and suddenly performed an ancient ritual, saying respectfully and solemnly:

"Together we will open the roulette wheel to reverse destiny, my king."

************************

Han Cang watched Wu Man coming from the haunting hall, and knowing that Wei Ling was already in the hall, he felt relieved.

"General Wu, today's matter depends entirely on you." Han Cang approached him, said in a deep voice, and handed him the tiger-shaped jade in his hand, "In half an hour, we can start."

Wu Man held the tiger talisman tightly, saying repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your promotion. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Okay! I believe you." Han Cang patted him on the shoulder and stared at him, but now his eyes no longer had the usual obsequiousness.

"Success or failure depends on one action. If my wish is fulfilled, I will trample all these people under my feet, and I will double the humiliation I suffered during my life and after death! Guo Kai is the first, but definitely not the last!"

The man in red looked at Wu Manyuan's back and stood quietly in the wind for a long time.
