Chapter 45: The Resentful Spirit
"Liyue secretly conspired with Gongsun Tang, a general of the enemy country, and leaked our country's military secrets, and returned to Lehua City within seven days to receive the crime." A few months later, Liyue received such news.
"Ah Yue, don't go." Gongsun Tang gently held her hand and said. After a few months of getting along, the relationship between the two has long been different from before.
"Don't worry." Liyue gently pushed his hand away, flew on the horse, and then as if he remembered something, he turned his head and smiled at Gongsun Tang, a trace of blush flashed on his face, and said, "Ah Tang, wait for me to come back." ”
Suddenly feeling a warm current flashing in his heart, Gongsun Tang said: "Okay, don't forget our agreement." ”
"I won't forget it." Leaving the moon and riding a horse, the last words entered Gongsun Tang's ears through the wind
Gongsun Tang looked at the back of the moon away, and for some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Your Majesty, the minister did not collaborate with the enemy and treason!" When he returned to Lehua City from the moon, he went straight to the palace.
"Ah Yue, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Qinghong looked at Liyue and suddenly burst out of a sentence.
"Your Majesty!" Liyue didn't expect Qinghong to say such a thing to her, and the justification she had prepared when she came was all stuck in her mouth at this time.
"Ah Yue, I believe that you will always be my most loyal courtier."
"Your Majesty......"
"Ah Yue, you'll always be by my side, right?" Qinghong's eyes had a little more expectation.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Apply for resignation and return home! Liyue knelt on one knee and said in a very solemn tone.
"Hahaha......" Qinghong laughed when he heard it, although he was laughing, his expression was a little terrifying.
"I've always kept our promise to be a good emperor, but what about you? You said that you would always be by my side and be my most loyal courtier, but now you tell me that you are going to resign?! I'm not sure! Qinghong's voice was a little violent.
"You want to be with Gongsun Tang? No, he's been poisoned by me a long time ago, hahaha...... He doesn't want to take you! Qinghong said almost frantically.
"Next...... Poisoned? Liyue couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, just after he completely believed in you, I ordered people to poison his food, and now Gongsun Tang's lifespan is only more than a year!" Qinghong's face was cruel and his expression was violent, which made Liyue feel a little strange.
"Your Majesty, the minister found ...... I've never really known you. Liyue's expression was much calmer than he had imagined.
"You don't need to know me, you just need to be by my side." Qinghong's eyes were cold, and he looked at her condescendingly.
"Your Majesty!" Liyue's tone was unconsciously a little excited.
"Someone! Escort me down from the moon! Qinghong roared.
Time comes back to the present.
"You know the rest." Liyue closed her eyes weakly, as if she didn't want to think about it again.
"Now you can tell me about Ah Tang." Liyue asked.
"General Gongsun is leading the army to Lehua City, and it seems that he wants to destroy the city." Su Fenglian said straight to the point.
"What...... What the?! He's going to attack the city? "There was some surprise from the moon.
Su Fenglian glanced at it, frowned and didn't make a sound.
"Don't you want to go out and have a look?" Su Fenglian asked.
Although Liyue didn't speak, the four of them had already seen what she was thinking.
"Let's go." Dongfang Jin smiled and said.
"Why did you stop from the general?" Chen Xihe asked. When he walked to the door of the cell, Liyue suddenly stopped, and his eyes became a little dull.
"Who are you?" After a while, Liyue suddenly spoke, his eyes full of wariness.
"Leaving the general?" Dongfang Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this, and looked at Liyue's expression as if he really didn't know them.
"Brother Fenglian?" Su Xing saw that Su Fenglian stunned Liyue with one palm, and couldn't help but speak.
"She's just an empty shell." Su Fenglian said suddenly.
Su Xing stepped forward to probe, there was no breathing, no heartbeat, and it was really just an illusion.
"I've observed that other people here breathe and have a heartbeat that is no different from a living person." Su Fenglian said lightly, but he woke everyone up.
Although the illusion conjured out of thin air can talk and laugh, it is like a dead person, without breathing or heartbeat. However, if the souls of people who have died are used to wash away some of their memories and make them forget that they are dead, then the illusion of using these ghosts as materials can take on the characteristics of ordinary people.
The Qingluan Kingdom has been destroyed for thousands of years, so it is impossible for the people of this city to be alive at all! It's just that they came in for too long and forgot that this was a dead city, and it seemed like ...... When they come in, they forget something......
"The people who are strong enough to manipulate the entire city are Liyue and Gongsun Tang at present, since Liyue's illusion is just an empty shell, then only Gongsun Tang has this ability." Su Xing analyzed.
The stronger the will of a person, the stronger the resentment after death. Liyue has no soul, so she can only spend the day according to her experience that day. For the sake of today, only by finding Gongsun Tang can this problem be completely solved.
Because they could only see the scene of Qingluan Kingdom thousands of years ago in Lehua City, they could only inquire about Gongsun Tang's news now, and then all they had to do was wait, waiting for Gongsun Tang to lead troops to attack Lehua City!
It was noon, and the four were already waiting at the execution site.
"Ah Yue!" The four of them heard Gongsun Tang's familiar shouts again.
"General Gongsun." Su Fenglian stopped him.
But at this time, Gongsun Tang had already killed his red eyes, and when he heard Su Fenglian tell him to just raise his knife and attack, the knife slashed to the fatal place. The general, who had been calm and composed on the battlefield, had now become extremely violent.
Su Fenglian had no choice but to step forward to stop him and forcibly force him to calm down.
"General Gongsun!" Su Fenglian shouted loudly.
"Die! Give me death! Gongsun Tang seemed to have lost his will, and only repeated this sentence from beginning to end.
Until...... The whole city was slaughtered!
"Who are you!" After Gongsun Tang regained his senses, he looked at Su Fenglian standing in front of him with a vigilant expression.
"We, people from the outside." Su Fenglian said ambiguously.
"Someone from the outside?" Gongsun Tang looked sarcastic.
"If General Liyue is still alive, I don't want to see you fall here." Chen Xihe said.
"You don't deserve to mention her!" At the mention of Liyue, Gongsun Tang's emotions suddenly became excited.
"General, please pay your respects." Su Xing said.
"She said let me wait for her, and I waited, but what I was waiting for was the news that she was going to be beheaded, how do you ask me to mourn?!" Gongsun Tang had almost thrown away his self-cultivation and shouted with red eyes.
"Thousands of years have passed, why are you so persistent?" Su Fenglian said.
"What do you say! Fake, all fake! Gongsun Tang's voice suddenly became sharp, with a ghostly roar. But his tone was full of disbelief, as if he didn't know he was dead.
Maybe it's because of Gongsun Tang's mood, this time the day and night transformation was actually advanced! After a period of dizziness, everyone returned to the early morning of that day, and the familiar cries suddenly entered their ears again.
