The ghost stopped after pulling Li Shimin to a remote place, and he didn't leave, just looked at Li Shimin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Shimin was a little hairy, and said to the ghost: "This ghost, since my longevity is not over, why don't you send me back to Chang'an?"
The ghost nodded and said, "Okay, but please wait." ”
"Why?" asked Li Shimin suspiciously.
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the ghost said, "Okay, someone is here." ”
"People are coming?" Li Shimin looked around and said suspiciously.
"Haha, you're here. At that moment, a voice came.
Li Shimin looked in the direction of the sound and saw the person with a delicate face, wearing a big red official robe and a big red hat that he had just seen at the Ghost Gate Pass, walking towards him.
"Thank you, Judge Cui. The ghost next to Li Shimin clasped his hands into fists and said to the man in the big red official robe.
"It's okay, you're welcome, just a gesture. The man in the big red official robe waved his hand and said.
"You two are?" Li Shimin said very puzzled.
"Haha, Your Majesty, this is Xuancheng's invitation to pick up the Emperor and you go back. Judge Cui said to Li Shimin.
"Haha, don't blame the emperor, don't you know me?"
Seeing that person, Li Shimin said in surprise: "Shi~"
"Hey, it's me, the emperor, long time no see. Shi Jian said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Oh, so you know each other?" said Judge Cui as he looked at the two of them.
"Yes, I have a few relationships with the emperor. Shi Jian said to Judge Cui.
"I see. Judge Cui nodded and said.
"Shi~ Little Brother Shi, you haven't introduced this to me yet?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Shi Jian.
"Oh, look at me, I almost introduced you to the emperor, your majesty, this is Cui Yu, the judge in charge of the book of life and death in the underworld, and the first person under the throne of Yan. Shi Jian said to Li Shimin.
"It turned out to be Judge Cui, thank you Judge Cui. Li Shimin hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, I was a courtier of the emperor during my lifetime, not just entrusted by Xuancheng, because I know that the emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs, which is what I should do. Judge Cui said.
"What? Judge Cui was my courtier when he was alive, why didn't I know?" Li Shimin said with some surprise.
"Your Majesty, can you know all the courtiers up and down the Tang Dynasty?" Shi Jian on the side said.
"This~This is also~" Li Shimin's old face flushed, and he said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, the emperor doesn't have to mind, the emperor is worried about state affairs, it doesn't matter if you don't know the minister, there are more than 10,000 people in my Tang Dynasty, and it's normal for the emperor not to know him. Judge Cui said to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin heard this, he said: "Judge Cui is promoting me, since I am the king of a country, worrying about state affairs is what I should do." ”
"Your Majesty!" Judge Cui looked at Li Shimin with some tears in his eyes.
Shi Jian, who was on the side, looked at the affectionate expressions of the two, shuddered, and hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Okay, Your Majesty, let's go, Lord Wei, they are all in a hurry, if you don't go back, in the evening, Lord Wei and they will come down to look for you in person." ”
"Well, after all that time, they should be in a hurry. Li Shimin retracted his domineering aura and spoke.
"Your Majesty, let the ministers escort you back. Judge Cui, who was affected by Li Shimin's domineering spirit, said to Li Shimin.
"This~ Judge Cui, don't you have to go back?" Although Li Shimin applauded in his heart, he still said to Judge Cui.
"It's okay to go back later, the underworld is already so busy, and besides, I've already called another judge to help me keep an eye on it first. Judge Cui said with a smile.
"Thank you, Judge Cui. Li Shimin hurriedly said.
"Hands, hands. Judge Cui waved his hand and said.
Shi Jian on the side shrugged his shoulders.
The three of them then left the place, and Judge Cui led the way outside.
On the way, Shi Jian's face became more and more solemn from relaxed, and he found that Judge Cui was not walking towards the way he came, but leading them towards a place with deep resentment.
"Cui Yu, what does he want to do? Could it be that my identity has been exposed, why did he take the two of us in that direction?" Shi Jian couldn't help but muttered to himself in his heart.
"Judge Cui, this is not the way I came, is it?, where are you going to take me and the emperor there?" Shi Jian looked at Judge Cui and asked.
"Brother Shi, are you afraid that I will harm you, don't worry, I won't harm the emperor, this is indeed not the way you came before, this is a shortcut, if you take this road, you can send the emperor back to the capital faster." Judge Cui, who led the way in front, turned his head and said to Shi Jian and Li Shimin.
"Oh. Shi Jian listened to Judge Cui's words, his heart was straight, and he was careful to be vigilant, although he was only a doppelganger now, but if the doppelganger was destroyed, he would also be greatly injured, and what he just said was that he would not harm the emperor, but he did not say that he would not harm himself.
As he walked, Shi Jian suddenly found that the surroundings were getting cooler and colder, and a cold wind was blowing towards this side.
"Ah, give me my life!"
"I'm so miserable!"
"Give me back my life!"
Suddenly, groups of lonely ghosts fell from the ground and in the wind, surrounding the three of them.
Li Shimin looked at their robes, and was a little stunned when he looked at their faces, the clothes these people were wearing were too familiar, and there were some people he had seen before, these people were all mountain bandits and rogues who had been exterminated by themselves, but they were now hideous and hateful looking at themselves.
These lonely souls and wild ghosts looked at Li Shimin and shouted in unison: "Li Shimin! I'm so miserable, I'll give me my life back!"
Li Shimin was frightened by their shouts, although he had no physical body now, but his throat moved up and down, and he made a saliva swallowing motion.
"Bold! Don't retreat quickly!" I saw that Judge Cui's originally delicate face suddenly became hideous, scaring those lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Although those lonely souls and wild ghosts were all frightened by Judge Cui, they were reluctant to leave, because the enemy who killed them, Li Shimin, was right in front of them.
"Cui~Judge Cui~How~What should I do?" Li Shimin said a little nervously.
Judge Cui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have a way to get rid of them. ”
"You say. Li Shimin hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, these lonely souls and wild ghosts were all rogues before they were alive, they had no family, so no one burned some gold and silver for them, resulting in no money for them to dredge up the relationship and reincarnation, as long as the emperor you burned some gold and silver paper money for them, they could be reincarnated. Judge Cui said.
"But I can't burn some gold and silver paper money for them now. Li Shimin said urgently.
"Your Majesty, there is another way, the minister is the judge of the Hades, and he can transfer some gold and silver from the treasury of the Hades, but please burn some for the ministers after you go back, so that the ministers can return to the treasury. Judge Cui said.
"That's fine, I'll do it when I get back. Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Judge Cui bowed to Li Shimin, got up and shouted to those lonely souls and wild ghosts: "Do you hear? The emperor is pitiful, I will transfer some gold and silver in a while, so that you can enter the reincarnation of reincarnation as a human being, and you should not get out of the way quickly!"
When those lonely souls and wild ghosts heard Judge Cui's words, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "That is the case, I will thank Judge Cui and the emperor." With that, he disappeared in place.
Shi Jian, who was behind Judge Cui, looked at everything in front of him, and muttered with some doubts in his heart: "Although because of his help, the Dragon King of Jinghe did not die and did not go to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin still saw a ghost and came to the underworld, and now everything seems to be back to the original point."
