Chapter 206: The Human Head Lotus
As soon as the Southern Barbarian King arrived at the Bamboo Wind Pavilion, he knew from Yin Sheng's expression that the goblin had really been released.
He shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Sure enough, what is destined to happen will never come." So man can never overcome the heavens? ”
Yin Sheng was surprised, "Actually, this carp essence will come out, is it something that has already been destined to happen?" ”
"Back then, I told your imperial grandfather that the carp spirit would definitely cause chaos in the world as soon as it came out of the Nanban, but he still didn't listen to the advice to take her away, and I also repaired the book to him and asked him to kill the carp essence, but he didn't...... Hey......"
"Grandpa Huang has affection, naturally he won't kill her......," Yin Sheng continued, "Now that the matter has happened, it's useless to blame anyone, King Nanban, I think you have traveled thousands of miles to come to the country of Li for that carp essence, there must be a way to catch that carp essence, right?" ”
The Nanban King looked at his princess and found that she was distracted, so he gently pushed her, and the Nanban princess was startled, looked up and said, "Huh? What the? ”
"What are you thinking?" The Nanban King asked with some surprise, "Why did you look like you were so distracted from the moment you saw that guard just now...... Are you ......"
Guards? Yin Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of guards can make the Nanban princess so concerned?" ”
The Nanban Princess's already fiery skin was now red and black, she glared at the Nanban King, and said to Yin Sheng, "Your Majesty should also know that he is Jing Yuanying......"
Yin Sheng was a little strange, "Mirror? Do you know him too? ”
The Southern Barbarian King looked at Yin Sheng's expression, guessing that he should not know Jing Yuanying's true identity, after thinking about it, he still planned to hide it, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Your Majesty, the top priority is to solve the matter of the carp essence first, she hasn't made a big move yet, and I can't see where she is, the only thing you can do is to strengthen your vigilance...... As I think you know, she's proficient in the art of puppetry, but the puppets in her hands have to be equipped with real eyes to be powerful, so ...... Protect your people. ”
"The widow will naturally do, it's just ......" Yin Sheng frowned.
I just don't like to be on the passive.
"I see, it's not too early at this time, why don't Your Majesty arrange a place for us to live first, we plan to stay for at least ten days and half a month." The Southern Barbarian King joked.
"That's nature," Yin Sheng smiled and said briskly, "If you want to stay for as long as you want, if the Nanban King doesn't want to go back, it's better to go directly to my Li Kingdom, and give you good food and drink, wouldn't it be happier than being the Nanban King!" ”
The king of the Southern Barbarians knew that he was joking, so he laughed very respectfully, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You kid, you are ambitious!" ”
The Nanban princess looked at the two of them laughing, silently hid to the side, and remembered the guard she had just seen, and took out the crystal ball in her arms, the purple mist in the ball was swirling, and she muttered to herself, "Can't you see it......"
……
After separating from the Southern Barbarian King, Yin Sheng couldn't wait to rush back to the palace, and met Queen Liu who took Yin Huaiqing out for a walk on the way, and Yin Sheng stopped to greet them.
These two people helped him openly and secretly, and they didn't know how many things they had solved.
Yin Huaiqing gave Yin Sheng a very well-behaved salute, Yin Sheng reached out to pick him up, scratched his nose, and said, "Huaiqing, today at the banquet, you really helped my father a lot." ”
Yin Huaiqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Erchen is still worried that it is a little rude." ”
Empress Liu took Yin Huaiqing from Yin Sheng's arms and said to him, "Huaiqing, can you go back to the palace by yourself?" The queen mother has important matters to consult with your father. ”
Yin Huaiqing nodded and immediately ran away.
After he left, Yin Sheng didn't wait for the queen to speak, and said first, "I really want to thank you, you see, I successfully chased that fox back!" ”
Empress Liu smiled and said, "Sharing worries for Your Majesty is what your concubines should do, then Your Majesty can tell your concubines if something happened again today?" ”
"Yes......" Yin Sheng nodded.
"Does it have anything to do with him?" The queen asked, "In the afternoon, I saw that Your Majesty hurried back, and since he left the palace, he has been frowning, is he poking the big basket again?" ”
Yin Sheng hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, but ......"
"Your Majesty is not angry?" Empress Liu interrupted him.
"A little bit...... But I know it can't be like this, I love him, and these things can be forgiven...... No matter how difficult the days are after that, as long as I am with him, there is nothing I can't face. ”
"Your Majesty, for him, you are really soft cotton," the queen looked very pleased, and said, "But Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the concubine has to remind you......"
"What? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"It's about the mirror...... Empress Liu hesitated for a moment, then said, "The concubine is just an ordinary woman, I don't know what happened to you before, and the concubine doesn't have much contact with the head of the mirror guard, so I can't guarantee what kind of person he is." But after all, he also grew up watching His Majesty, and the concubine felt that he would not betray His Majesty......"
"How do you know I'm suspicious of him?" Yin Sheng asked.
"It's the ...... that Ling'er told the concubine," the queen said, "Ling'er is very clever, she can catch clues from a little gossip and deduce what happened." But His Majesty suspects him, Lord Kagami, he must be very sad. ”
"Actually, I didn't suspect him," Yin Sheng said, "but all the clues were leaning on him, and it was the man who had been hiding behind him trying to frame the mirror." As you said, he grew up with me, and he has long been a brother. The Fengshen doctor who came from Chang'an said that sometimes you can't believe what you see or hear, and you have to believe in your heart. ”
The queen nodded, and said, "But Your Majesty thinks so, does Lord Jing know?" He shouldn't know......"
"You mean, I'm going to tell him?" Yin Sheng asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only for Lord Jing, but also for your fox. There are some things that you don't say, and they may not really know. ”
"Hmm." Yin Sheng nodded, looked at the direction of the dormitory, and then looked at the direction of the gate of the imperial city, Jing should be patrolling over there now, "You are like the eldest sister, I will listen to what you say, I will go and tell Jing now." ”
Yin Sheng did what he said, immediately said goodbye to the queen, and went to the place where Jing Yuanyin was, but when he arrived at the city gate, he only saw Jing Yuanying's subordinates, Yin Sheng said strangely, "What about the mirror?" Didn't come today? ”
The guard replied, "Lord Mirror has gone to the lotus pond in the back mountain, and his subordinates will go and call him back now!" ”
"No, the widow will go by himself." Yin Sheng said, and walked in the direction of the back mountain.
He had not walked a short time when the guard who had spoken to him suddenly raised his head, and his hair pulled his face down like a stone, until the whole skin fell off, and a little goblin jumped out of the human skin.
The gate he was guarding was also like a mirage, and not far behind him appeared another gate that was exactly the same, and under the gate stood a fairy exactly like the human skin he had just woon.
What's more, Jing Yuanying, as usual, dutifully patrolled the city gates.
When he arrived at the back mountain, Yin Sheng really saw Jing Yuanyin standing alone by the lotus pond, he stood behind him and shouted, "Mirror ......"
Jing Yuanyin hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Yin Sheng, he was startled, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”
"I have something to ......" Yin Sheng suddenly paused in the middle of his words, looked at the lotus pond behind Jing Yuan's invisibility, frowned tightly, and asked rhetorically, "Jing, why are you here?" ”
"That's because ......"
Jing Yuanying hesitated and didn't say anything.
"Why is this lotus flower spreading a strong smell of blood, you just had a vicious fight with others?" Yin Sheng thought that Jing Yuanying had beaten the assassin into the lotus pond or something, so that this smell would come out.
"That's not the case, Your Majesty," Jing Yuanying shook her head and said to Yin Sheng, "Your Majesty will come and take a look yourself." ”
Yin Sheng looked at Jing Yuanying, feeling a little strange, but he didn't know what was strange, so he walked to the edge of the pool suspiciously, and looked down at the water.
The water of the pond was a dark red color in the dark night, and it looked like it was dyed red with blood.
"Does Your Majesty know why?" Jing Yuanying quietly walked behind Yin Sheng and asked.
"Huh?" Yin Sheng turned his head to look at him, but suddenly faced a blue-faced fanged face, his mouth was wide open and dripping bright red liquid, and his breath spit out bursts of foul odor, biting Yin Sheng's neck.
Yin Sheng hurriedly dodged back, stumbled and fell into the lotus pond, the fishy pool water overflowed his body, choking him violently.
The monster let out an extremely terrifying strange laugh, Yin Sheng didn't bring a knife, looked around, and no one looked like they would come.
The monster didn't jump down, and Yin Sheng felt that he was still safe. But after thinking about it just now, he suddenly felt a burst of numbness in his legs soaked in the pool, he hurriedly grabbed the lotus flower in his hand and took a step back, touched the water, and pulled out a human head.
Yes, there is no body, only a human head.
The face of the human head was swollen, but he still winked at Yin Sheng, made a very charming expression, stretched out his long tongue and licked Yin Sheng's face.
It turned out that this thing was licking itself just now.
Yin Sheng hurriedly threw him away, but the tingling feeling below became even stronger, it seemed that there was more than one head.
He tried not to fall into the lotus pond, and said coldly to the monster on the shore, "What kind of demon, what did you do to the mirror!" ”
The monster seemed to be frightened by Yin Sheng's tone, and suddenly stopped laughing, and then Yin Sheng heard the sound of the flute coming from afar, low and melodious, and he couldn't hear it at all if he didn't listen carefully.
Who plays the flute?
Yin Sheng looked at the monster in front of him, he obviously didn't look like a wise goblin, could it be that he was a thing that had no thoughts at all and was only manipulated by others? And this flute player is the one who manipulates him?
But he didn't have time to analyze it anymore, and the dark red pool began to protrude outward, and one after another heads floated up from the low.
Oops...... Yin Sheng groaned secretly, couldn't control his weak legs, and fell into the lotus pond.
