White Hedge Dream

Chapter 99 Playing

Although Zhang Ze did not believe that ghosts killed people, in view of the recent situation and the strange cause of Zhu Shan's death, he still informed the Holy Ancestor Temple.

However, Xuanyangzi seemed to disdain people who had nothing to do with the emperor and heirs, and still did not come forward, and only sent Wang Tong.

Shangguan Yue looked Wang Tong up and down: "Don't you only know how to light lamps?"

"Don't underestimate me." Wang Tong said, putting on an arrogant air, "I am talented enough to be selected into the Holy Ancestor Temple."

"Didn't your grandfather spend money to stuff it in?" Shangguan Yue laughed again.

"So many children of the Wang family only spend money on me, which shows that I have talent." Wang Tong said with a smile, flicking the fly whisk.

Shangguan Yue nodded and said with a smile: "This is indeed true. I haven't burned the lamp for so long in vain."

When it came to lighting the lanterns, Wang Tong couldn't hold it anymore. He lay down on the ground and wailed: "Don't mention lighting the lanterns anymore. If I keep lighting the lanterns, I will die. I came to the capital to long for a prosperous place. Who would have thought that I would be tortured every day?" Locked up in the temple.”

At this point he spat.

"It's all Li Julang who harmed me."

General Li would be furious if he heard this, Shangguan Yue thought to herself, squatting down and looking at Wang Tong: "Keep your voice down, be careful of Li Julang's ghost coming to scare you."

Wang Tong shook the fly whisk with one hand and pressed the bell on his waist with the other. He looked around cautiously: "Young Master is afraid of him? He came just in time to make his soul fly away."

Shangguan Yue understood and looked at the fly whisk and the bell: "Is this the magic weapon that Xuanyangzi gave you?" asked curiously, "How is it? Was Zhu Shan really killed by a ghost?"

Wang Tong looked disappointed.

"There is no reaction at all." He said, "The ancestor said that as long as the bell rings, it means there is something strange, but I have visited Zhu Shan's house and there is no ring."

He said and rang the bell.

Shangguan Yue looked at the silent bell curiously and listened to Wang Tong's continued words.

"It is indeed weird that Zhu Shan strangled himself to death, but Wu Zuo said that some people have somnambulism and kill people in their dreams. What if Zhu Shan killed himself in his dream? What if he dreamed that he was killing someone? , actually killed himself?"

The more Wang Tong talked, the more funny his guess became and he laughed.

Killed yourself in your dream? Shangguan Yue thought thoughtfully that it was impossible to kill herself, especially for someone like Zhu Shan, but what if she dreamed of being killed by others? Will it just...

This sounds even more ridiculous.

"It is said that there are only two ghosts in the capital now, one is Hua Xiaoxian and the other is Empress Chiang, but these two people, no, two ghosts, one is pestering Li Julang, and the other is only looking at the imperial city. I'm afraid they don't know Zhu Who is Shan? What’s the use of killing him?”

Well, actually not, Shangguan Yue thought, besides these two ghosts in the capital, there is another one, Bai Xun's daughter, Bai Li.

To put it this way, Zhu Shan was investigating Chiang Kai-shek's party, and Bai Xun's family died because of this, so it is most reasonable for Bai Li to kill Zhu Shan.

The more Shangguan Yue thought about it, the more interesting her guess became, and she laughed.

After a night of carnival, the people on the boat became more haggard than ghosts. They were picked up by the servants, helped onto their horses, and dispersed like ghosts in the morning light.

The lights on the ship went out and the voices of people disappeared. Shangguan Yue walked slowly outside the cabin, seemingly unable to adapt to the morning light and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, and he fell forward suddenly. The moment he leaned forward, an arrow grazed his ear with a buzz and sank into the cabin.

At the same time, the sleeping building came to life, and countless figures ran around, instantly surrounding Shangguan Yue who was lying on the ground.

There were more than a dozen figures running from the building to the direction where the arrows were shot.

All this happened in an instant, and the ship became quiet again in an instant.

There was no second arrow shot, and no other murderous aura came. Even if the arrow that was submerged in the cabin was not still trembling, it would be like an illusion.

Shangguan Yue lay on the ground, resting her head on her hands, looking at the feather arrow above and smiling.

"Sir—" Ruibo climbed up from upstairs.

"I'm fine." Shangguan Yue said, waving to the surrounding guards, "Step back, this is a master archer. What he wants is to kill with one arrow, and then leave without hitting anyone."

The guards dispersed, and Ruibo looked at Shangguan Yue, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "The archer has run away, but there are still people who haven't run away."

Shangguan Yue looked at him and asked with interest: "Who will pay to kill me? Archers are not cheap."

Ruibo looked annoyed: "Shangguan Kejiu."

Shangguan Yue smiled and said faintly: "I know that my life is not worthy of being torn apart by such a thing."

"This **** still refuses to give up. He thinks that by killing you, he will be able to eliminate Shangguan's consort and become the adopted son of the princess." Ruibo sneered.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Shangguan Yue said, standing up with her hands on the floor, clapped her hands, and looked towards the shore, "Go and capture Shangguan Kejiu, and then go and see where the princess is?"

…

…

Shangguan Kejiu was picked out from Sanqu Alley. He was sleeping soundly after a night of partying. When he was woken up, he thought there was good news, but he saw Shangguan Yue's lively and irritating face.

Then he put the knife on his neck and carried it to the horse.

"Who dares to follow?" Shangguan Yue sneered at Shangguan Kejiu's servants, "If anyone follows, I will chop him."

As he finished speaking, he was indeed swiping the knife across Shangguan Kejiu's arm.

Blood-red flowers suddenly bloomed on Shangguan Kejiu's brocade material.

Accompanied by screams, the servants hurriedly backed away, watching Shangguan Yue throw Shangguan Kejiu on the back of the horse, then he got on the horse and galloped away with his sword in hand.

"Go and tell your family—"

"Go and find your consort—"

"Looking for a consort or a princess?"

"Of course she is the princess, why does the prince-consort care about our young master's life and death?"

…

…

"Do you think the princess only cares about your life or death?"

On the mountain road in Dongshan outside the city, Shangguan Yue dragged Shangguan Kejiu, who was feeling weak after being jostled by horses, and laughed as he walked. Shangguan Kejiu's face was pale and he was stumbling. He couldn't take a step at first, but Shangguan Yue stabbed him again without any explanation.

"I'll chop you once you stop."

This villain! This bitch! This madman!

Shangguan Kejiu cursed in his heart, with snot and tears streaming down his face, and climbed up the mountain desperately.

"Xiao Lang, you misunderstood. It's not me who wants to harm you - it's all my men. It's all those dog slaves who have made their own decisions."

"I'll chop them up when I get back to make amends to you."

He began begging for an apology again.

But no matter what he said, Shangguan Yue only smiled and led him up the mountain. If he walked slowly, the cold knife would leave a mark on his body.

Shangguan Kejiu felt that he had become a **** man. He didn't know why he was not dead yet: "Shangguanyue, what do you want? I'm your cousin!"

Shangguan Yue laughed loudly: "Now you know that I am your cousin? Did you forget when you killed me?" Then he patted Shangguan Kejiu's face with a knife, "I want you to know now, even if I kill you, the princess will I won’t save you.”

After saying that, the knife was pressed against Shangguan Kejiu's back.

This time it wasn't a scratch, but a stab into the flesh.

Shangguan Kejiu screamed and threw himself forward.

Shangguan Yue did not catch up, but raised her chin: "Princess is at Lingquan Temple. Go and ask for help. If you can enter the temple gate, you have escaped with your life, otherwise I am not joking with you - "

He swung the long knife suddenly, and half of the bark of an old tree by the road was immediately cut off, and dead branches and leaves flew everywhere.

Shangguan Kejiu rolled around and ran upwards. Before he reached the temple gate, he was almost hacked to death by the guards outside the gate with his **** appearance.

"Go away, the princess is here, and everyone else is waiting to get away."

"I am Shangguan Kejiu." He held his head and shouted, "Please save me, princess, Shangguan Yue wants to kill me -"

Although the guards were not familiar with Shangguan Kejiu, Shangguan Yue was very familiar with him, and the guards looked at each other.

Shangguan Yue wants to kill people and cause trouble? The princess should be happy to know.

A guard wanted to go in to report, but refused to take Guan Kejiu in. "You look so ugly, you will scare the princess."

Shangguan Kejiu could only wait outside, enduring the pain. Not long after, the guards came back.

"What did the princess say?" Shangguan Kejiu rushed over and asked.

The guard smiled: "The princess said you can rest assured that when Shangguan Yue kills you, she will definitely punish him."

Shangguan Kejiu was stunned. How can this be reassuring?

"Princess." He cried inwardly.

The next moment, he was kicked away by the guard, "Go quickly, the princess is waiting for you to die."

Shangguan Kejiu fell down on the mountain road and screamed repeatedly. The guards in front of him raised their knives, looking like they couldn't wait to kill him first and then frame Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Kejiu only felt that he had no way to go to heaven or earth. Fortunately, he glanced at the mountain road, because the princess did not allow Shangguan Yue to appear in front of him. Shangguan Yue was not too close, and he could not be seen on the mountain road.

Shangguan Kejiu dragged his scarred body to the side.

The crying from the mountain temple gradually disappeared.

Shangguan Yue, who was leaning against the tree trunk with her knife in her arms, had a hint of ridicule on her lips.

He knows how ruthless and unjust the princess is.

She didn't even care about her own brother, how could Shangguan Kejiu, who had no relatives or friends, be taken seriously by her.

He put the knife on the tree trunk and jumped into the tangled grass and trees.

…

…

Screams resounded in the mountain col.

Shangguan Kejiu looked at the blade attached to his face from the corner of his eye.

Even when he ran to a remote mountain, he didn't avoid Shangguan Yue. He caught up with him and trampled him down. This time, the knife actually cut his face.

His face!

"If it weren't for Shangguan's surname." Shangguan Yue's voice fell, "I would really kill you."

Half-kneeling, he pressed Shangguan Kejiu tightly, and the knife in his hand fell steadily on his face.

"I cut your face and left a scar, so you gave up. The princess will never adopt an ugly adopted son."

"Don't think about killing me anymore. If you kill me, the princess will adopt someone else, and you will be making wedding clothes for others."

Accompanied by the sound of talking, the knife slashed Shangguan Kejiu's face.

Shangguan Kejiu's heart-rending screams resounded throughout the mountains.

There were rapid footsteps, and at the same time a male voice sounded, "Who is it!"

Is there anyone in this remote forest? Shangguan Yue raised her eyes and first saw a man in a black cloak and brown clothes coming out of the forest, followed by a long sword in his hand. When he looked up again, he saw a face as handsome as the moon and jade.

Prince Zhou.

His eyes flickered and he saw another person walking beside Zhou Jingyun.

A red cloak, a moon-white dress, and a red hood decorated with white fox fur. Among the dead trees in winter, his face looks like white snow, shining so brightly that people have to avoid looking at it.

Zhou Jingyun’s wife…?

I saw it last time, but I can’t seem to remember what it looked like.

The one who can stand beside Zhou Jingyun is naturally his little wife!

Shangguan Yue avoided looking, lowered her head and curled her lips.

I unexpectedly met this couple.

Ever since I didn't want to see her again, why did I always see her when I raised my head?

Shangguan Yue raised her head again and smiled brightly: "What a coincidence, I met the Crown Prince." He then took the initiative to introduce, "I was playing with my cousin."
