The surrounding stone wall was bare and rough in the early years, and it looked particularly cold under the candlelight that would not be extinguished, like the four walls of a sarcophagus. Zhou Guanzhao later seized the throne and transformed this place, surrounded by moon pearls, and even if he didn't rely on the lights, he could see the road under his feet clearly.

Zhou Guanzhao lowered her head and walked down carefully, and when she raised her head again, even a ruthless person like her couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth, almost unable to pinch the wind lamp in her hand.

Extending in front of him, the walls were full of the corpses of the palace people, the human bodies were next to the human bodies, the faces of the dead were rotten in one place, revealing the teeth connected to the roots of the skull, and the floating grass grew densely on the human corpses, entangled with each other, and the shriveled eyes were entangled between the grass branches, which looked like the fruit of the floating grass.

When he got closer, he could see that those eyeballs were carefully wrapped around the grass by short silk threads, Zhou Guanzhao looked at the scene in front of him, and he could already imagine that Jiang Liyan was doing his dark things underground, and when he was idle, he had nothing to do, so he gouged out the eyes of those people completely and cleanly, dried them, and then carefully tied them to the floating grass that grew from the corpse.

"Is it pretty?"

The sudden sound made Zhou Guanzhao startled, and then turned around suddenly, Jiang Liyan stood behind her, silently ghostly.

Zhou Guanzhao's face changed slightly, and said, "You are actually here." ”

"Where do I go?" Jiang Liyan asked, "I don't sleep here tonight." Hearing the sound of the palace gate opening at night, I knew that His Majesty was coming, so I came to greet him. ”

Zhou Guanzhao had nothing to say, and continued: "Since you are here, then take me away." ”

Jiang Liyan stepped forward happily, his clothes were no different from the day, quite regular, it was conceivable that he was walking calmly, Zhou Guanzhao didn't hear his footsteps tonight, thinking that in the past, Zhou Guan could rely on his slightly stronger ear power than others to hear Jiang Liyan's voice coming and going, but Jiang Liyan did it deliberately.

"These corpses are your way of raising floating grass?"

Jiang Liyan nodded and said: "After all, the use of floating grass will be large, just relying on such a clump or two of the grass that grows out of the ground, Your Majesty is not enough." It just so happened that there was this useless life in the palace, and when he died, Shang Ke used nourishment, so he got some," Jiang Liyan said and stretched out his hand: "These hanging on the outside are still fresh, and if you go inside, those will be about to dry out, but the floating grass will be pulled out, and the corpse will be transported out and burned together, and it is useless." ”

"How long will the rest of this last, and how many people will be able to use it?"

Jiang Liyan thought for a moment and said: "If it is in the palace, the two rows outside are only enough for Your Majesty to use it for two months, this is still the original dose, and now that Yu Yu will wake up, I am afraid that the dose of Futu grass will have to be increased to resist its control." As for the people outside, two rows are enough for half a year. ”

"This Futu grass that was taken out of human blood is not effective enough after all," Jiang Liyan said and narrowed his eyes: "The Futu grass that Gala took out from the original land of Jiala back then, the amount on a human corpse can be managed for more than ten years. ”

Zhou Guanzhao said: "Why is the difference so big? ”

"The problem of water and soil," Jiang Li said, "Now speaking, it is actually a matter of blood. If Chen Tongsheng was still alive, she would be able to provide nourishment for these floating grasses to grow wildly. Back then, I had expected to bring Chen Tongsheng into the palace and bleed to raise these floating grasses, if there was her blood, this floating grass could not help but protect His Majesty, and the smoke from the burning could also delay Yu Yu's awakening. Chen once thought that Yu Su could not win, so he thought that he could delay it for a while, and if it was a while, he could drag it until I died, and then it would have nothing to do with me. ”

"But why did you persuade me to let her out of Beijing?"

Jiang Liyan looked at her, raised his feet and walked forward, his voice was softer, but Zhou Guanzhao still heard it.

"Because I failed."

Jiang Liyan took the lamp in her hand and showed the way for Zhou Guanzhao, and the hand holding the lamp gently led forward, signaling Zhou Guanzhao to continue walking.

Zhou Guanzhao frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”

Jiang Liyan said: "I had a dream, and I failed in the dream. In the dream, I did persuade Your Majesty, and even persuaded Yang Hehou, so that Chen Tongsheng could not leave Beijing as he wished, and was summoned into the palace by His Majesty and sent to me. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and Zhou Guanzhao looked at him.

"In the end, Chen Tong died, but Yu Yu still woke up." Jiang Liyan looked ahead and continued: "So I changed my mind and didn't think about such a thing anymore. ”

"It turns out that Jiang Liyan would also believe in such a thing as dreams?" Zhou Guanzhao said: "I thought you might not even dream at night." ”

"My dreams are different from those of ordinary people. I always believe that dreams don't lie to me. Jiang Li said: "If Your Majesty is a person like me, you will understand." ”

"Then Chen Tongsheng must know you very well?"

Jiang Liyan nodded when he heard this, and said, "She is indeed now." ”

Zhou Guanzhao is not a loser who killed his father and poisoned the minister, and the ordinary people in Kyoto, the royal family and nobles can be used as chess pieces, and the master who kills people without blinking his eyes is a means to kill people, and he was frightened when he first saw the corpse wall, but now he is completely used to it, and it is not strange. While talking to Jiang Liyan, she walked through the long corpse wall, brushed her sleeves and hands by the Futu grass that grew out of her flesh and blood, and reached out to caress it, and she already had another thing in mind.

One of the purposes for which she came tonight was to see how much floating grass Jiang Liyan had saved.

Zhou Guanzhao knew that what had always been able to make her escape Yu Su's control was the Futu grass, which used to be occasionally extra active in Yu, but in the days when she hadn't woken up yet, Jiang Liyan came to see her and always asked her to light the incense made of Futu grass.

Now that Song Chuanbai and Chen Tongsheng are nowhere to be found, and their lives and deaths are uncertain, then to solve such a large number of crazy people going to Beijing, what can be counted on is the same.

This is the Float Grass.

As long as you hand out the floating grass and teach them how to use it, you can turn these crazy people back to normal, and those people will go back on their own. Just like when Zhou Guanzhao sent Mi Tiansi to save the people from the epidemic in order to win the hearts of the people.

Now that a large number of crazy people are moving forward in unison, it is convenient and easy to gather them, but when she asked Jiang Liyan today, her heart sank.

The meaning of Jiang Li's words, coupled with Zhou Guanzhao's situation all the way, the floating grass is completely insufficient. Not to mention distributing it to those crazy people, it is to use Zhou Guanzhao alone, plus the amount to maintain the safety of the palace, the amount burned in each palace and hall can't last for a few months.

What's more, Jiang Liyan is also extremely dependent on this floating grass, and it is impossible for him not to leave enough for himself.

Zhou Guanzhao said: "Then this floating map can be expanded again?" These human walls are not enough, how much can be done with more of them? ”

As soon as her words came out, Jiang Liyan sneered.

"How?" Zhou Guanzhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "No?" ”

"Zheng Tang, worthy of Zheng Tang." Jiang Liyan pronounced this long-lost name, which made Zhou Guanzhao not only in a trance.

"When the matter of killing comes to your mouth, it becomes how many floating pictures can be planted. Words are so light that few people can say them. ”

Zhou Guanzhao didn't care about Jiang Liyan's words, and still said lightly: "Now that millions of people are going to have an accident, what else can I care?" I wasn't one of those indecisive. What's more, you did these things, and I rarely see them if I just say them? What you do is so vicious that the world is hardly to see. ”

Jiang Liyan smiled: "The minister is just doing this for His Majesty to share his worries." ”

"You and I know not."

Jiang Liyan still laughed, and after a while, he said: "The method that Your Majesty said, I have thought about it, and it is not feasible. Without this place underground, you can't get more corpses. ”

As soon as the two of them turned around, the floating grass in front of them grew even more densely, almost completely covering the corpses below, only Jiang Liyan's eyes that had nothing to do to tie up their heads, shriveled and still hanging on them. Like sun-dried longan pulp.

"The closer you are to the Futu grass, the better it will grow," Jiang Li said: "If you leave the bottom, you will die if you grow it, and you won't need it at all, if Chen Tongsheng is in ......."

He said: "If she is here, take her blood and raise it every day, and it will be about the same." But even so, she can't be treated like a blood cow, and no amount of blood in one person's body can be cleaned, and she can't raise the Futu grass that can stop the millions of crazy people. What's more, even if it can be used for a while, those people will need such a large amount of floating grass for survival for the rest of their lives, where will they find it when the time comes? ”

"Moreover, now it is not as good as the Northern Dynasty back then, the people of the Northern Dynasty can still survive with Feiguang, but now it is Yu Yu who has awakened and urgently needs supplies, so those crazy people have to rush to deliver it to its mouth. Futu can stop it now, but it can't stop Yu Yu after he wakes up. ”

Zhou Guanzhao was easily glimpsed into her thoughts, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she really had nowhere to hide in front of Jiang Liyan. Jiang Liyan manipulates many things, and it is obviously easy to see that she can easily break through her, and the purpose of not concealing it is nothing.

Zhou Guanzhao stopped, stared at a clump of extraordinarily dense floating grass for a moment, and said: "Feng Xiwen is now outside to defend against the Ukole clan, the enemy is fierce and abnormal, the terrain in the south is strange, and there is no capable general, he is overwhelmed, and yesterday he also asked me to increase the heavy armor of two percent, and iron cavalry and grain and grass supplies. As soon as I told him to withdraw, the ministers immediately jumped to my feet, full of fear that the southern barbarians would come in. But, isn't it good to get in? ”

Zhou Guanzhao turned his head, his pupils were so dark that he could barely reflect any light under the lamplight.

"Gather all the usable floating grass in the dungeon in one place, and those madmen also gather in one place, and the southern barbarians come in and tell them to kill for a while, kill the rest, block them in one place, light the smoke, and put them all to death."

She said quietly: "Even if they all die and rot in the valley, I won't let Yu Su eat a single person." ”
