The sun is setting in the west, and the yin and yang are divided into dusk.

The dreary night gradually enveloped the entire imperial capital.

Bell Bell Bell –

The bell of the curfew rang, and the long streets were already full of people, and the lights of thousands of homes were extinguished.

Dongcheng Huangfu.

A dark shadow silently climbed over the courtyard wall and slipped into the mansion like flowing water, without attracting anyone's attention.

......

The inner courtyard of the Yellow Mansion, the council hall.

The lord of the Huang Mansion, Huang Lan, the left minister of the Wu Dynasty, was wearing a wide and comfortable blue robe at this time, sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of tea cup with fragrance and heat in one hand, looking comfortable.

Today, he scolded Emperor Xiao Che in the palace, not to mention how comfortable he was at the moment, he was simply in high spirits.

Thinking of Xiao Che's iron-blue face, but he didn't dare to really do anything to himself, Huang Lan felt that he had really taken a step to play chess.

He doesn't feel that he is a "traitor", and even that he feels that he is a real loyal minister, and he is "saving the country by curve".

What's so bad about being a dog to a noble "ominous"?

The human race should honestly make "ominous" food, although it is humble, but it can always live! If you do it according to Xiao Che's method, wouldn't it be to let the Wu Dynasty destroy the country and extinct the species?

"Phew!" Huang Lan was a little disdainful when he thought of this, took a sip, and scolded secretly: "What a faint king! How unfortunate is it for the family and the country to be handed over to such a person......? Tomorrow, I have to contact some old ministers and put pressure on this faint king together. Otherwise, he really thought that the Wu Dynasty belonged to their Xiao family. ”

Just thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded in Huang Lan's ears, like crying and complaining, like the cold wind from the extreme north hanging from his heart, making him shiver subconsciously.

"Lord Huang looks in a good mood. ”

Hearing this voice, Huang Lan knew the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly stood up, looking at the air with a slanderous face: "The villain greets the arrival of the messenger." ”

Moment.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the heavens and the earth, a charming woman. Gu Panjian's eyes were wandering, his complexion was pale, and he was wearing a fiery red dress.

Except for the slightly abnormal dark blue color at the bottom of her eyes, this woman in the red dress is no different from a human woman, and even more beautiful.

However, if you look closely, you can still judge from the floating spirit that the woman in the red dress in front of her is like a "spirit", that is, the ghost branch in the "unknown".

Floating leisurely in the air, the woman in the red dress glanced down at Huang Lan, and a trace of disdain flashed in her beautiful eyes very quickly, and then disappeared.

"How's it going?"

Huang Lan bowed down, didn't dare to look directly at the woman in the red dress, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, the villain has warned that Xiao Che, and I think he won't dare to act rashly until he gets the permission of the Spirit Clan behind him." ”

"Besides, even if he insists on going his own way, the villain has a way to make his decree unable to get out of Youzhou. The villain has been operating in the DPRK for many years, and he thinks that he still has this influence. ”

The woman in the red dress nodded, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Those native chickens and dogs of the Spirit Clan, would they still dare to meddle in the affairs of my lord's 'Ghost Emperor'?" If it weren't for the fact that we were at war with the Sea Clan, we would have freed up our hands to clean them up." ”

After a pause, the woman in the red dress looked at Huang Lan and ordered: "You go and pick up that Xiao Che again tomorrow and tell him that the land under his feet is lent to him by my lord 'Ghost Emperor'! Be a dog, just be a good one, don't make trouble! Otherwise, my clan doesn't mind changing the emperor." ”

"Yes, yes," Huang Lan replied again and again, "The villain remembers, the villain must convey the messenger's words to Xiao Che word for word, so that the kid can be sober and sober." ”

The woman in the red dress looked slightly restrained, and said softly: "Well, if he refuses to be sober, then in my opinion, you Lord Huang is very good, and he is very suitable to be the emperor of the Wu Dynasty." ”

Huang Lan was ecstatic when he heard this, but his face was silent, and he restrained: "Villain, villain is shallow, and he is immoral and incompetent, how can he think of wrongdoing?"

"No, you have virtue and ability. The woman in the red dress looked at him and added, "I said you have, you have!" Remember, give me a good look at that kid, and if he has any radical actions, he will report to me as soon as possible. ”

"If you are able to do things, I will naturally mention two sentences to the 'Ghost Emperor' as appropriate. As long as the 'Ghost Emperor' is satisfied, who will be the human emperor is not a matter of his old man's words?"

Listening to the various hints of the woman in the red dress, Huang Lan's excited heart was about to jump out, and his old face was full of redness.

He didn't hesitate, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said straightly: "The messenger attaches so much importance to the villain, how dare the villain be reluctant to repay him without forgetting his life and death?"

Say goodbye and bow down.

When he got up, he found that the woman in the red dress in front of him had long disappeared and disappeared.

The inner city of the secluded capital.

Outside the palace, the woman in the red dress who appeared in the Yellow Mansion was standing here, with a hesitant expression. It seems that he is considering whether he wants to venture into the palace.

After staying here for a long time, a solemnity flashed in her eyes, and she finally gave up. Turning around, he flew up lightly, and wanted to leave.

A cold voice sounded at the right time: "Stay." ”

When the woman in the red dress suddenly heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her surprise was beyond words.

Being able to speak when she was about to leave meant that the person behind her had been observing nearby, or had been peeping at her for a long time, and she hadn't noticed it at all.

What does this mean? It shows that the person who came is at least one level stronger than her.

She realized that she couldn't even move now, and she couldn't turn her head to see people for what they really were.

"Hmm~"

Before she could make a sound, the woman in the red dress went black and lost all consciousness.

......

......

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Xiao Che was lying on his side on the dragon couch, squinting his eyes and looking like he was asleep.

The black-clothed old eunuch on the side shook the feather fan in his hand gently, constantly fanning away the cool breeze and driving away the heat in the hall.

It's the shallow summer season, the mosquitoes are revived, and the cicadas are singing incessantly on the willow trees planted in the palace, which makes people feel a little upset.

"The hosts. ”

In the darkless corner of the main hall, a shadow slowly emerged, kneeling on the ground, facing Xiao Che and worshipping.

Xiao Che opened his eyes when he heard the sound, got up and said lightly: "Well, have you found it?"

Seeing him sit up, the old eunuch in black respectfully stepped aside, leaving room for the two to talk. Xiao Che was able to manipulate the "ominous", and he didn't hide it from the black-clothed old eunuch who was the person around him, so he didn't need to avoid it.

The shadow in the corner raised its head, and in the darkness, a pair of blood-colored eyes were incomparably bright, revealing a bloodthirsty ferocity from the inside out.

"Back to the master, it has been ascertained. There is a secret communication between Huang Lan and the 'Ghost Emperor', and his subordinates have executed him according to your orders. And the identity of the person who responds to him ...... Some are special, and the subordinates dare not make their own claims, so they have come to ask the master. ”
