Yi Ying walked up and hugged Chen Yin and Yingli.

"What about people!?" the officers and soldiers glared angrily at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er looked a little innocent: "I did see them come back together." ”

The head of the officers and soldiers glanced at the room again, and turned his head to look at Xiao Er for a while: "Take him away for me." ”

**

In a corner of the palace garden, three figures gradually appeared.

Qi Yingli broke free of Yi Ying's hand, pulled out Chen Yin and retreated two meters away, staring at him vigilantly: "Who are you and what do you want to do!"

"It's okay, senior sister, he's here to help us. Chen Yin explained.

"Help us?"

Chen Yin told Qi Yingli about the Hundred Beast Village.

"Then how are you going to help us?" Qi Yingli listened, turned around and asked Yi Ying.

"Follow me. Yi Ying only spit out three words, and walked out of the garden, although Chen Yin and Yingli were suspicious, they also followed closely.

The soldiers around them ignored them, and they walked straight through the great garden, and walked for a moment until they came to a vermilion courtyard.

"Lord Ying, these two are the people the emperor wants?" The two guards guarding the door looked Chen Yin up and down, and after being confirmed, they made a way, "The emperor is waiting in the imperial study." ”

Emperor! Chen Yin was very frightened, he didn't expect that this was to meet the emperor directly. A person rushed towards them with light steps, a little older, in his sixties, his voice was so sharp that he didn't stop until he walked in front of Chen Yin and the others.

"Okay, you two are getting dressed, and when you go in to meet the emperor later, follow me." This person didn't say much, and after saying this, he introduced Chen Yin and Qi Yingli into the courtyard, and Yi Ying disappeared at the door at some point.

"Is that person blind?" Ying Li asked Chen Yin in a low voice.

"The eyes are blind and the heart is not blind," the person who led the way thought he was asking himself, so he instructed, "When you go in, don't talk so much, and you will answer whatever the emperor asks." ”

This person entered a brightly lit room, made a gesture for Chen Yin and them to wait outside the door, and after a moment turned back and said, "The emperor has summoned an audience." ”

Chen Yin and Qi Yingli followed him into the inner room, the four walls were full of calligraphy and paintings, the luxurious and chic bookshelves below were full of books, there were six pear chairs on the left and right, a bearskin carpet with smooth and soft fur was spread in the middle, there was an ebony wood desk at the tail of the bear, and an old man sat behind the desk, although his hair was gray, his eyes were different, his eyebrows were like black paint, his physique was broad and healthy, and he was wearing a set of Xiujin yellow shirts.

Wen Zuyu stood next to the emperor without saying a word, without any indifference on weekdays.

Chen Yin and Qi Yingli saluted with the eunuchs.

The emperor slowly raised his hand, the three of them got up, and the eunuch stepped aside: "Yu Xianzhong, you step aside." ”

The eunuch immediately answered, retreated outside the room, and closed the door of the study.

Chen Yin raised his head and quietly glanced at the emperor, and happened to meet his eyes, the emperor raised his eyebrows and face: "I remember that the last time the hairy boy came to the imperial study was more than ten years ago, Zuyu, I heard that you have seen it before, so it's up to you to talk about it." ”

"Yes," Wen Zuyu stepped forward and glanced at the emperor, who motioned for him to speak, "Do you know what happened last night in the Hundred Beast Village?"

"Senior Yi Ying told us," Chen Yin replied, "but we didn't do it. ”

"Naturally it won't be you, there are a lot of capable people in the Hundred Beasts Village, and even if the two of you use the power of Yan, you can't kill the people of the entire village," Wen Zuyu paused, "The murderer killed the people of the whole village with only a knife Such a high-profile and special method must be to attract attention, the Qingyue faction of the southern faction and the Xuanyuemen of the northern faction are both mainly attacking swords and marksmanship, if it weren't for the two of you pretending to be the people of the Hundred Beasts Village that night, then the rumors in the market now would be that Qingyue or Xuanyuemen slaughtered the imperial court in one night, so that Qingyue or Xuanyuemen would definitely have an estrangement from the imperial court." ”

"So after learning that the two of you went to the Hundred Beasts Village that night, the imperial court spread the news, and now the streets and alleys are all rumored to be two Dinghua outcasts, pretending to be people from the Hundred Beasts Village, killing thirty-one people in one night. ”

"But..."

"Now the outside world thinks that you two are the perpetrators of the murder, and both are outcasts of the Dinghua faction, so not only will the tongue be calmed, but the Dinghua faction will not be discredited," Wen Zuyu interrupted Chen Yin's words, "In fact, we can already conclude that the murder of the Hundred Beasts Village was committed by the rebels, but the imperial court now needs to deal with the affairs of the western faction wholeheartedly, and there is no time to catch the perpetrators before the southern or eastern factions are estranged from the imperial court." ”

"So, are you planning to make the two of us take the blame?" Qi Yingli suddenly spoke, her tone full of mockery.

"The rebels now want to make the pro-court faction and the court fall apart, this is the case with the Western faction, and the same is true of the Hundred Beasts, if the court doesn't care, it will lose heart with the people. ”

"No, I can't. Qi Yingli shook her head resolutely.

The emperor, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly laughed: "Little girl, I am not asking you now, but asking you to do this. ”

"It was out of respect for the head of the moon sect of the Dinghua faction that I asked Yi Ying to bring you here before the officers and soldiers caught you, and I will tell you the details of the situation in the future, and guarantee that you will not suffer from flesh and skin," Wen Zuyu was a little angry, "I will personally go to the head of the moon in the future, you only need to confess your guilt and go to prison, I can also promise you that after dealing with the affairs of the Western Sect, the Imperial Pavilion will definitely find out the perpetrators of the Hundred Beasts Village, and return the innocence of the two of you." ”

"What if we haven't caught the murderer for a year or two," Qi Yingli still resisted, "What will happen to us?"

"Beheaded, but that's the worst outcome, and the most unlikely outcome," Wen Zuyu calmed his emotions, "Yuanxi said that when he was in Yanding, you helped him in the way of imprisonment, so what's the harm in helping the imperial court in the same way now? Besides, all the two sides of the capital are within the scope of my enchantment exploration, and you have no way back." ”

"That time we owe the officers and soldiers who died in the official residence of Qiuquan Town, this time we don't owe you anything, right?"

"Alright," said the Emperor as he stood up and put the book back on the shelf, as if nothing had happened, "I'm going to rest, and you've explained enough, so take them down quickly." ”

At this moment, the candlelight in the house suddenly went out, and Wen Zuyu immediately flew forward, only to find that the person was gone...

**

Three hundred miles east of the capital.

Yi Ying hugged Chen Yin and Yingli and gradually appeared in the shade of a tree, Yingli broke free and turned around and kicked at Yi Ying, the other party disappeared in the shadow in an instant, after kicking in the air, Yingli almost lost her center of gravity, Chen Yin protected Yingli and slowly withdrew from the shade, there was no one there, Chen Yin closed his eyes to feel the breath, Yi Ying's breath was still around.

"Senior, you and I have no enmity, why harm us?" Chen Yin asked at this front.

Yi Ying hid behind a tree and did not show up: "I have no intention of harming them, I didn't know that the purpose of the pavilion asking me to take the two of them there was actually this." ”

"And how did you know later?" asked Yingli.

"After sending the two of you to the imperial study, I met Master Yue, who told me. ”

"You... It's someone from the Imperial Court and Imperial Pavilion, why do you want to save us..."Qi Yingli looked at him suspiciously.

Yi Ying was silent and did not speak.

"Sure enough, there is a problem," Qi Yingli pulled the corner of Chen Yin's clothes and whispered, "This person's derivation power is in Bailone, it should be related to the shadows, let's retreat to the bright place." ”

Chen Yin grabbed Qi Yingli's hand and asked her to slow down, and he shouted at Yi Ying: "Shihuo let me give it to you... By the way, he has forgiven you. ”

With that, Yi Ying slowly walked out of the shade of the tree: "He...... He asked you to talk?"

"Shi Huo left a realm in the world, and I found him, and I saw him for some reason. ”

"The Pavilion Master is about to catch up, you walk in the direction of the mountain peak, until you enter the desert, you will cross the border and reach the country of Masi, and the Moon Master will be waiting for you there," Yi Ying suddenly said with a serious expression, "Hurry up and enter the mountain, here I am." ”

Qi Yingli decisively pulled Chen Yin and ran into the forest without looking back: "No matter what his purpose is, the thing at hand is to escape as far away as possible." ”

Yi Ying waited for the two of them to walk away, and slowly walked in the other direction of the forest, at this time the sky was already a little bright, and the forest was already faintly visible. A dark shadow landed in front of him, blocking Yi Ying's way, and Yi Ying noticed someone coming.

"Ei, what are you thinking?" The expression on Wen Zuyu's face was both angry and confused.

"Atonement. Yi Ying didn't say anything more, and slipped sideways into the shadows of the trees beside him.

"How can you escape?"

Suddenly, Yi Ying burst out of the shade of the tree behind Wen Zuyu, with a little cold light in his hand, and went straight to Wen Zuyu's vest.

Wen Zuyu didn't expect Yi Ying to attack him at all, so he didn't take precautions, and when he found out, he couldn't dodge, and this time he cut his arm straight through, and blood flowed down from the wound in an instant.

"Are you crazy?" Wen Zuyu hurriedly took a step and let himself fly a few meters away.

Yi Yingdi's attack did not stop, and as soon as Wen Zuyu landed, that bit of cold light came straight from behind him again, and this time crossed out the buttons of his clothes.

"You and I should have fought more than a decade ago. Yi Ying said as he shuttled through the shadows.

More than 10 years ago... Wen Zuyu remembered what happened at that time, Wen Zuyu ordered Yi Ying to catch Shi Huo and return to the court, because Shi Huo acted without authorization, the emperor felt that his majesty was violated, and he was supposed to give the death penalty, but in order to let Yi Ying bring Shi Huo back, he lied to him just as a warning.

"That grudge, you still haven't gotten rid of?" Wen Zuyu asked while parrying, "But why now—"

"That little brother has the power of time and fire in his body, and this is God's chance to atone for my sins. ”

"Do you know how much trouble you will bring to the imperial court?" Wen Zuyu wanted to persuade Yi Ying, but Yi Ying didn't seem to listen, "Since you care so much about Shi Huo, then I will definitely give you an explanation! But now I have to go and arrest them back." ”

"I've only stayed in the Imperial Pavilion for more than ten years because I'm waiting for a chance for redemption, and now, letting Shi Huo Yanli continue to exist is my salvation. Yi Ying slashed again, and this knife drew a long cut on Wen Zuyu's face.

Wen Zuyu has been suppressing the anger in his heart, trying to persuade Yi Ying, but he can't bear it anymore, he stands on the ground and doesn't dodge, Yi Ying appears behind him, Wen Zuyu's head will not be, a force on his body erupts, the cold light of the dagger has not yet arrived, Wen Zuyu's force has invaded Yi Ying's body, his movements stopped, seeing his right hand grab the dagger and stab at his eyebrows, he can no longer control his body.

"It seems that the fate of you and me is over. Wen Zuyu closed his eyes and didn't look back.

**

At dusk, Yi Ying leaned against the door of a courtyard and watched the dead leaves being swept down the treetops by the wind.

"Okay, I'll go back to the Imperial Pavilion with you, so that you can have an explanation. "Young Shi Huo, expressionless, with blood on his face and hands.

"Hey, it's not life and death, you also made a special trip back to see Yu Qingluo, you see you like this, didn't it make her anxious?" Yi Ying muttered, sneaking into the shadows with Shi Huo.

"Yi Ying will go to rest first, and let Shi Huo come to the council hall alone to see me. Wen Zuyu's expression was solemn.

Yi Ying watched Shi Huo enter the council hall alone, and he didn't leave, but found a place outside the chamber to sit down and wait for him. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, and then several alchemists in the palace walked out of the council hall, and a few people were carrying Shi Huo, Yi Ying hurriedly got up and stepped forward to check, Shi Huo was dead, and he was killed by his own sword straight into the heart.

"Who did that!" Yi Ying roared and knocked several alchemists to the ground and rushed into the council chamber.

"Bold!" Wen Zuyu in the council hall only stood under the stage with a complicated expression, and the person in a dragon robe on the stage shouted at Yi Ying.

"The Emperor... The emperor..."Although Yi Ying was young and frivolous, he was still somewhat afraid of Long Wei, Yi Ying slowly knelt down and gasped for breath.

"You're Yi Ying?"

Yi Ying didn't hear the emperor's question, he squinted at Wen Zuyu and the others in the hall.

"That's right," the Emperor saw that he did not answer, so he raised his voice and continued, "the Imperial Pavilion is in flames, and he has openly disobeyed the Holy Order, and has now been put to death on the spot. ”

When Yi Ying heard the last two words, his heartbeat suddenly intensified, his mind was blank, and he looked at the emperor in a daze.

"Oh, I seem to remember that this man has no children, only one wife, so I can only kill her," the Emperor waved his hand, "and go now." ”

Yi Ying didn't move, Wen Zuyu quickly ran to his side, and said worriedly: "The emperor's order is difficult, if you don't go, someone else will definitely go, and then not only will you die, but she will also die more painfully, I don't want the Imperial Pavilion to lose the fire and catch you again." ”

Yi Ying gritted his teeth, took the order, got up and ran out of the council hall, the body of Shi Huo in the courtyard had been carried away, and he dodged and sneaked into the shadows.

Yi Ying lingered outside until late at night before knocking on Shi Ying's door.

"Brother Shadow, why didn't Shi Huo come back with him?" the woman who opened the door had a worried face.

"He... He's been sent on an errand... Let me tell you..."Yi Ying turned her head to the side.

"Oh, Brother Shadow came in and helped get some food, I got too much for dinner. The woman smiled embarrassedly.

"Well... Okay..."Yi Ying followed the woman into the inner hall, and there were two pairs of chopsticks and a few side dishes on the table.

"I said, Qingluo, can you help me get some wine from Shihuo's private storage?" Yi Ying asked.

"Good. The woman replied cheerfully, turned and went to the back room.

Yi Ying took out a packet of powder and mixed it into the woman's rice, his hands began to tremble.

"Brother Shadow, there is only half a jar, when Shihuo comes back, I will let him brew more. The woman poured it for Yi Ying, then sat down and wiped the sweat on her forehead, picked up chopsticks, and took a few mouthfuls of food to eat.

Yi Ying stared at the woman stunned.

"Isn't the food I made delicious?" said the woman with a smile as she ate, "Or do you want someone to drink with you?"

Yi Ying got up and snatched the food in front of the woman and threw it to the ground.

"Qingluo, forgive me. Yi Ying, with tears in her eyes.

Before the woman could finish speaking, blood flowed from her eyes, and she fell straight to the table, and the half jar of wine was shattered to the ground.

Yi Ying stood motionless in front of the table, and in a moment a figure climbed into the courtyard from the wall, and swayed into the inner hall, it was an old man, sent by the emperor from the Imperial Medical Hall.

He stepped forward to check on the woman for a while, then turned his head to look at Yi Ying: "I only ate these amounts, and I can't die... It's just blind... It's going to be a little hard to use your brain..."

Yi Ying didn't speak, still staring intently at the woman's body.

"Shadow-sama can kill her now, and she won't feel any pain. The old man suggested.

"Come back with me. ”

"But she's not dead..."

"That's enough..."Yi Ying grabbed the old man and rushed into the courtyard.

**

In the imperial study, while looking at the book, the emperor asked Yi Ying and the old man who were kneeling: "Is it done?"

"Your Majesty, that woman is blind... "Crazy," said the old man, "but not dead." ”

"What's the matter," the emperor said in a calm tone, turning the conversation to Yi Ying without panicking, "Can't do it?"

Yi Ying took out a pack of the same powder, the emperor looked at him motionlessly, Yi Ying took a deep breath, poured the powder into his eyes, and suddenly a heart-rending burning sensation hit his whole body, Yi Ying trembled in pain, and his eyes gradually lost any light source: "Emperor... Emperor... Please... Put... Let her go..."Yi Ying's eyes were bleeding.

**

When the sky was bright, the forest was also illuminated beautifully, Yi Ying lay quietly on the ground, his dagger was deeply inserted between his eyebrows, and Wen Zuyu took off his coat and covered him.

"It's hard for the king's life, if it weren't for that..."Wen Zuyu sighed softly at Yi Ying's corpse, "Okay, okay..."
